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…

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…

Sweet Potato Praline Casserole

December 25, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

Sweet Potato Casserole with Pralines

The holidays have arrived and with that, I hope, more time to get caught up with my blog. My first contribution to the holiday season is a sweet, succulent sweet potato dish that will make believers out of the most ardent doubters who question the rightful place of this tuber on the dinner table. First,…

An Untraditional Canadian Christmas: Vegetarian Tourtière

December 8, 2013 by Dale 3 Comments

I believe in Christmas and I believe in the power of tradition. For me, the power of Christmas, and the true spirit of it, is beautifully wrapped up in O. Henry’s masterful short-story “The Gift of Magi.” In this story first published more than a century ago, O. Henry beautifully shows the power of giving…

Vegetarian Tourtière

December 7, 2013 by Dale 4 Comments

I probably will go to hell for this …. I acknowledge, that despite this being a Christmas dish, the fact that I’ve taken the traditional French Canadian meat pie and made it without, well, ‘meat’ may add fodder to the national unity to debate (again). I want to assure everyone that my Canada not only includes…

Marinara Sauce … from harvest to scratch

November 5, 2013 by Dale 2 Comments

There is making things from scratch … and then there is making them from harvest to jar or, in my case, from seed to jar. And as satisfying as all my preserves have been, there was nothing more satisfying than making my own marinara sauce with the tomatoes I grew myself. While the recipe that…

Crêpes with Caramelized Bananas (Gluten-Free)

October 26, 2013 by Dale 4 Comments

Every week I race the slow but inevitable decline of the bunch of bananas I buy on the weekend. Every week I get two perfect bananas followed by two almost perfectly riper bananas followed by the predictable decline into a culinary argument of “Is this too ripe to eat?” Every week, some end up in…

Roasted Rutabaga with Fall Herbs

October 16, 2013 by Dale 4 Comments

Roasted_Rutabaga

Ah, the dreaded rutabaga. I suspect it is one of the veggies that people fear — and avoid — if for no other reason than the name itself scares them off. But truly, with the exception of the overly ubiquitous carrot and potato, most other ground veggies, at least in this country, have fallen hugely…

Friday Night Squash Fritters with Yoghurt-Feta Sauce

October 14, 2013 by Dale 6 Comments

The squash are coming! The squash are coming! Ok, truth be told, they’ve been coming for awhile. Right out of the CSA gate, I had to contend week after week with summer squash and zucchini in particular. But for the past month, the misnamed “winter” squash have been taking up positions around my kitchen and…
