Crunchy Tomatillo-Avocado Salsa
Tonight is the season premiere of Top Chef Masters 2. Carlo and I thoroughly enjoyed the first season of the show, especially watching the chefs, who had previously been judges on the regular Top Chef, realize that those quick fires weren’t so easy and perhaps they were a little too critical of the contestants. I [...]
Homemade Tomato Ketchup
Ketchup: cheap, readily available, easy to find, a simple condiment. Exactly the sort of thing you’d buy at the store, right? Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with Heinz for slathering on your fries, but its consistent acceptability can’t meet the amazing flavor of this homemade version. You wouldn’t really think of ketchup as [...]
Turkey Leftovers: Turkey Stock
I hope that every one’s Thanksgiving preparations are going well and the turkey is defrosting or already in a brine for the big day! After the Thanksgiving meal tomorrow, one usually ends up with a lot of leftovers, especially loads of turkey meat. As much as I love turkey, cranberry, and stuffing sandwiches the day [...]
Fire Roasted Tomato Salsa
The perfect accompaniment to yesterday’s Hatch Green Chile con Queso is a great salsa. Despite tomato season being over, this Fire Roasted Tomato Salsa from Rick Bayless proves that you can have awesome tasting salsa year round by using a can of fire roasted tomatoes. Throw in some freshly roasted garlic and chiles with a [...]
Hatch Green Chile Con Queso
Ask any displaced Texan what they miss most about the Lone Star State, and I bet you anything that queso is in their top five. Nobody can live in Texas and not fall in love with the ubiquitous cheesy dip that acts as the perfect appetizer with chips and salsa, or even better when poured [...]
Spicy Pork and Chilli Pepper Goulash
My mum and dad came out for a visit last week, and I took them up to Bryce Canyon and Zion Canyon National Parks for a few days in Utah. The night before we left on our Utah road trip, I cooked dinner for my parents and Carlo. On the menu was Spicy Pork and [...]
Moroccan Spiced Chickpea and Lentil Soup
One of the most interesting things that has happened while I’ve been working on Recession Recipes is connecting with old friends and new friends who are as obsessed with food as I am. I love getting emails from them telling me what they are currently enjoying to eat or getting family recipes. A very old [...]
Roasted Hatch Green Chile, Black Bean, and Chicken Enchiladas
This tasty Tyler Florence recipe for Roasted Hatch Green Chile, Black Bean, and Chicken Enchiladas takes an ordinary roasted deli chicken from the supermarket and turns it into a spectacular Mexican treat. Everything else in the rest of the recipe is made from scratch, aside from the tortillas, so not having to worry about roasting [...]
Homemade Peach Jam
Out of all the jams that I’ve made this summer, this Peach Jam just might be my favourite. Instead of cutting the peaches up into small pieces so they would cook down into a smoother jam, I kept them quite large so the resulting jam is full of really big chunks of fresh peaches in [...]
Homemade Kimchi
You might have noticed that we’ve been on this jam/pickling/preserving kick lately. I’m not exactly sure what prompted it, but we’ve been canning stuff lately, and it’s been a lot of fun. I was going to make some sauerkraut, but saw that it took several weeks, so I thought I’d try the kimchi recipe on [...]
