Scalcione Di Cipolle (Savoury Onion Pie) – Recipe
Some people might turn their nose up at an onion and anchovy pie. But not the Italians! Lucky for us, Italian heritage isn’t a prerequisite for appreciating sweet, slow-cooked onions with salty anchovies and olives. While Scalcione Di Cipolle is traditionally made with dense and crumbly pie dough, I prefer a flaky crust and have […]

Calamansi Iced Tea (Calamantea)
In the Philippines, iced tea is a staple. Much as we in North America enjoy our iced tea with lemon, in the Philippines, calamansi is the citrus of choice. The calamansi fruit tastes like a cross between a lime and a mandarin orange. It works perfectly in iced tea, and this recipe will fast become your […]

Bratwurst Sausage Recipe
My cousin Claire and I like to get together once a month to tackle a new skill in the kitchen. This month we decided to try our hands at sausage making. I didn’t think homemade sausage would taste so much better than store bought…but it does. (No hard gristly bits to chew on). Before even […]

Korean Perilla Leaves and Rice
This recipe is essentially a marinade for the leaves. After the leaves have sat in the marinade for 2 days, they are removed and used as a sort of taco/grape leaf hybrid to wrap around sticky glutinous short grained rice. The flavour of the leaves is the draw here. They taste of basil and coriander […]

Yorkshire Brack
This past weekend we had a family reunion for my dad’s side of the family. They hail from Sheffield in Yorkshire, so I wanted to make a traditional Yorkshire recipe. After scouring recipe books and the internet I decided on making a Yorkshire Brack. Similar to a Scottish Brack or ‘Barmbrack‘, a Yorksire Brack is a fruit […]

Kiwi, Loquat and Tequila Jam
One of my favourite pass times when I get a day alone is to stroll through the fruit markets of Chinatown. I am a fruit ‘addict’ and the more exotic the better. So when I come across a fruit I haven’t tried before I just have to buy some. On this particular visit, I came across […]

Jicama and Blood Orange Salad with Mint Cream and Pomegranate Molasses
I kept seeing Jicama at the grocery store, but had never tasted it before. Intrigued, I have been looking for a way to use it in an exciting dish. I decided to make a salad based on a recipe I found in the New York Times; Jicama Salad. I decided to go with Cantaloupe instead of […]
