Watermelon Salad

September 13, 2013 by Dale 5 Comments

Those who’ve read my posts for a bit know that my values around food are hugely influenced by eating local and in season. I love the purity and simplicity of certain foods and dishes … which is why I unapologetically posted my own caprese salad a few days ago. When a whole watermelon showed up…

Insalata Caprese with Balsamic

September 10, 2013 by Dale 3 Comments

Ahh…  the flavours of the Mediterranean. There is an elemental purity to Mediterranean food which is hard to describe and which can really only be experienced. So elemental is it, that it is a challenge in my experience to fully participate outside of the region itself. You can taste the fire of the sun, the…

Swiss Chard with Bacon and Cranberries

August 21, 2013 by Dale 2 Comments

When a rainbow of Swiss chard showed up in my CSA Bin this past week, I was in the midst of a bacon and pancetta obsession. In one meal, bacon showed up in three separate dishes (Caesar Salad, Tuscan Chicken, and Risotto) … but not fully sated by just this, bacon then swept into my…

Caesar Salad with Grilled Hearts of Romaine

August 15, 2013 by Dale 4 Comments

Sometimes, certain things get into my head and like a catchy song they just linger and play over and over again. Such is the notion of grilling romaine lettuce, and idea that took root a few months ago when I first saw mention of it … and, if you’re anything like me, you’re colourfully saying…

Tomato Salad (5 Ways)

July 10, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

So tomato season is almost here. My own vines are filling with fruit and I suspect that even with all the rain, some of us in the Ottawa Valley are only a week or so away from fruit. Having said that, the butter lettuce in my CSA share this week was screaming “I want tomatoes,”…

Sautéed Swiss Chard with Meyer Lemon Peel

July 9, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

Whether you got Swiss chard in your CSA bin this week or are simply looking for a yummy way to prepare it, here’s a grande recipe that I think you’ll like. How grande is it? It almost stole the show from the grilled halibut with garlic scape pesto with which it was served. And yes, this…

Braised Red Cabbage with Apples

January 21, 2013 by Dale 4 Comments

Few cooking techniques are as decidedly “winter” as braising. The method telegraphs a slow, lazy day of cooking — and it proclaims comfort food … and nothing says Sunday dinner better than braised comfort food. If you’re even the slightest bit ‘iffy’ about cabbage, trust me, this will make a convert of you. Anne has dubbed this…
