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…

Duck Magret with Sour-Cherry and Port Sauce …

April 27, 2014 by Dale Leave a Comment

Serve duck with sour cherry sauce

This creation was me saying happy birthday to Benjamin, my über wonder dog of 18 years. That is to say, I’m not the only one in the family that gets weak in the knees when someone says “duck.” Truly, it’s a wonder that over the years I haven’t been beaned with a softball between the eyes…

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…

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…

Crispy Duck with Persimmon-Mandarin Sauce

December 31, 2013 by Dale 8 Comments

There are a handful of things that I’ll order any time I see them on a menu. Thankfully those things don’t often compete in the same restaurants. One of those things is duck … a dish that makes my spine relax with the simple promise of a taste. It might therefore sound odd that I’ve…

Barbecued Ribs with Root Beer Sauce and Baked Apples

August 9, 2013 by Dale 2 Comments

There are certain things I’ll almost never order in a restaurant: steak, pasta, chicken … and pork ribs. It’s not that I don’t like or even, in the case of ribs, love these foods … it is because I’m appalled at what restauranteurs will charge for fare that I can, in almost all cases, make…

Baked-Barbecued Apples

August 6, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

Growing up with apple orchards all around me, little in life is more comforting than anything with apples. Taken crisp and fresh off the tree, I’m a thief among the leaves and branches. But baked with sugar and cinnamon, the apples become the thief of all life’s problems. Truly, almost nothing goes better with pork…

Root Beer Barbecue Sauce

August 4, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

Mmm, root beer. How many wish it came in more forms than just a drink or the occasional candy or sometimes even ice cream? And how many of you love to grill ribs? Here’s something I put together in a bid to infuse the essential herbaciousness of the root beer into a barbecue sauce in…
