Tequila Chicken
There’s just one more night before I head off to sunny, inviting, satiating and glorious Greece. Like anyone about to go on vacation, my days are filled with tying up loose ends at work, tidying up around the house and eating what I have left in the fridge. To those that can look into your […]
Herbed Sea Salt
First off, I want to thank everyone who responded and replied to my Blogging Rant (see two posts down in my blog) and also for joining the chorus of pissed off bloggers on the topic of ATK. If you haven’t heard what went on, then you were perhaps on a space shuttle mission or you […]
No Fear Blogging
One of the bonuses of food blogging is you sometimes get to meet your fellow bloggers. An even rarer occurance is when you meet one from your same town/city and you greet each other as though we were old friends getting together to play “catch up” and spend the day together. Such was the case […]
Grilled Sesame Scallops
It’s playtime by the grill again kiddies. We’ve been having some hot, dry days that are followed by cool, great for sleep evenings and there’s no sign of rain for days. At last, summer as I know it is here. This means that the cooking theater known as the patio is back in action. Everything […]
Korean BBQ (Kalbi)
This past week I was downtown and between meetings and I was left with a few free hours in between. After scouring Yonge Street for a dinner, I finally settled on having some Korean BBQ. What you have here is beef short ribs that are marinated over night and then quickly grilled over high heat […]
Something Old, Something New – Seafood Edition
Last Friday was one of the few evenings where it hasn’t rained around dinner time. We’re now officially into summer and it’s been quite rainy. Me thinks summer in Toronto might be cancelled. This is one of the few instances where I hope I’m wrong. I have two dishes at the plate today. The “something […]
Chicken in 360 Degrees
One of my favourite ways to prepare chicken is in my grill, summer time, beer can chicken style. Last year, one of the earlier posts I made was for a more classic version of this American gift to BBQ. This year, I kick it up a notch, shake up the ingredients and use the same, […]
The Burger
The hamburger has to be one of the most popular and enjoyable sandwiches on the planet. Throw away your fast food chain coupons, don’t tempt getting sick after eating a Big Mac and you don’t have to buy those frozen shit-patties they sell at the market as hamburgers. Make your own burger. It’s easy, you […]
Porgy
I’m thrilled to have found a reliable source of seafood in Toronto, near my home and at fair market prices. I’ve been enjoying walking into the shop, having a look around at the “catches of day”, surveying what’s freshest and pair that with whatever food mood I’m in. Porgy is also known as the Gilt-head […]
Remember This Photo?
Well…thank God those days are gone. It was a long winter and any Canadian will tell that we do not take our warms months for granted. I enjoy every opportunity to be outdoors. You would be too if your first snowfall was in late November and the last bit of snow melted in mid-March. The […]
