Duck Breast with Blackberry and Chambord Sauce

December 30, 2014 by Dale 7 Comments

Duck with Blackberry-Chambord Sauce

Duck is one of my very favourite meats and certainly my favourite form of fowl. I know some people have the same aversion to this fine feathered creature as they do to lamb, rabbit, and venison — the four of which would be my holy trinity of proteins if they weren’t actually a quartet. I…

Roasted Butternut Squash Soup with Pumpkin-Seed Praline and Maple-Coconut Cream

December 23, 2014 by Dale Leave a Comment

It only seemed appropriate that in a series devoted to the colour “Yellow” that I include a new recipe in this as well. Food prepared beautifully is a most edible art and one that will evoke emotions and feelings as pronounced as any fine art … and there was something intensely beautiful and something intensely…

Maple-Teriyaki Pacific Salmon

April 7, 2014 by Dale 4 Comments

If there has been one unifying ingredient as part of the Canadian Food Experience Project, it has been maple. This is not surprising given the prominence of this ingredient in our airport gift shops and the fact the leaf is emblazoned on our flag. It’s also not surprising, then, that it has shown up in…

Tangerine Beef with Broccoli and Ginger

March 30, 2014 by Dale 4 Comments

Invigorate your plate with the season; infuse your meal with sunshine. To be clear, I’m all about cooking with ingredients that are local but when they can’t be local, I want them to be at least seasonal. So when the culinary doldrums of winter arrive, citrus becomes king. Thus, as I prepared to chase away…

Poutine with Maple-Cranberry Sauce * Fillet Mignon * St-Albert Cheese Curds

March 6, 2014 by Dale 1 Comment

Poutine: greasy truck-stop food ending in heartburn or a gastronomic adventure that ends in foodgasm? Ever since I scarfed back the most amazing plate of poutine 13 months ago, I’ve been committed to recreating that dish prepared by the servers of Le St-Estèphe. There seemed no better time than now, especially with the advent of…

White Chili

February 26, 2014 by Dale 4 Comments

While we battle through a late season cold-snap, the calendar says that winter’s strength will soon be behind us. In the meanwhile, the cold weather continues demand slow-cooked comfort foods and I’m happy to comply. Nothing seems to warm as well as those one-pot dishes that cook for hours and warm you from the core…

Persimmon Salsa

February 19, 2014 by Dale 2 Comments

If Roald Dahl had been in my kitchen this past winter while writing his children’s classics, he may well have titled the one about “James” as Dale and the Giant Persimmon. Though I haven’t had any particularly giant fruits in my kitchen, persimmons have certainly been giant my culinary craft this season as I continue…

Pomegranate and Vodka Glazed Chicken Breast

February 6, 2014 by Dale 2 Comments

Cooking for me is passion … and my passion is expressed in my cooking. It is also a very elemental process involving fire, water, and the fruits of the earth. And when I breathe these together, these elements are transformative. I love the story of Persephone; it is a story of love, albeit a complicated…

Curried Sweet Potato Wedges

January 24, 2014 by Dale 4 Comments

Life is too short and far too complicated not to be able to make simple and great food from scratch.  Yes, my recipe annals are replete with examples to the contrary, so perhaps I need to find a bit more balance in the recipes I post. You tell me …. But for starters, here is…

Wilted Spinach with Black Mustard Seed and Lemon

January 23, 2014 by Dale 5 Comments

Simple, healthy and, most importantly, delicious …. Love spinach? Want to do something a bit different with it? Look no further …. Here’s a side dish I prepared to go with my Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Banana-Date Glaze. As a result, both are “Indian” inspired and fusions. What makes this dish most amazing, apart that…
