Running

April 7, 2020 by Dale 2 Comments

Desérables I covet thee desire the tree tap it and drain it catch it gather it amount it and boil it into the blood of my blood. It is the spring its temperatures bring release as your veins swell your sugar melts into buckets of sticky sexy sap. Paper crêpes a superhero cape candied bacon…

Frozen in Time

January 9, 2015 by Dale 2 Comments

Frozen Leaf (landscape)

As you can tell by this, the fifth in my series (a series that has lots of legs), I’m totally enthralled by what the Ice Storm did to transform the landscape and all that is in it. From the branches with which I started, to a stem of milk weed, to the branch of a…

Watercress Salad with Smoked Salmon & Roasted Beets

October 7, 2014 by Dale Leave a Comment

If there has been one theme in my cooking this CSA season, it has been beets and, specifically, roasted beets. I’d be lying if I said there was “something” about roasted beets that is magically comforting — no, there is something very specific about roasted beets I love, how their flavour is transformed, how the…

Roasted Red-Kuri and Beet Salad with Maple Vinaigrette

September 13, 2014 by Dale Leave a Comment

When the red kuri squash turned up at the CSA pick up a few weeks ago I thought only for a few minutes about what I was going to do with it — then turned back  the clock a couple of years to the first red kuri squash I received and decided to reprise what…

Ale No. 5 ~ “Spring Maple” (Belgian Blonde Ale), Lake of Bays Brewing Company

June 7, 2014 by Dale Leave a Comment

Fifth up is a unifying beer if ever there was one. If you like beer, but not sure if you like maple, you’ll like this beer; if you like maple but on the fence regarding beer, this will knock you over the fence. Not sure you like blondes, think you’re more of a darker drinker, think…

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…

All Things Home ~ All Things Ottawa

March 7, 2014 by Dale 5 Comments

We are so much defined by place that we define the place we live by naming it … home. And if “home” is only where you’re born, then I guess I offer this observation as person who has been homeless more years than at home. The irony is that in having lived so many places,…

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…
