I'm currently obsessed with the sourdough bread from the Plateau Sunday Market. This is not it. This is the bread I turned into quasi-hamburger buns for my last post. It's still pretty great. It's at the point where I want to ask "Son Boulanger" from "La Perle et Son Boulanger" … [Read more...] about “Heartsmart Cooking”: Multigrain Yogurt Bread

Braised Fennel: Bonnie Stern’s “Heartsmart Cooking”
If you like balsamic vinegar, the thick, sweet kind, on your tomatoes you will like this braised fennel with fresh tomatoes. I'm not sure if the fennel flavour itself works with the tomatoes, but on its own it tastes way too much like candy to call it salad. I fell in love with … [Read more...] about Braised Fennel: Bonnie Stern’s “Heartsmart Cooking”
Slow-Cooker Lamb Curry with Basmati Rice, Tomato Relish and Grated Cucumber Raita
This is in my top 5 recipes ever and my top 2 lamb recipes. It beats out braised lamb shank in all its forms and sauces, and only comes second to 2-day marinated leg of lamb with dried figs and poppy seeds. Sometimes you need an excuse to make a recipe, and part 3 in the … [Read more...] about Slow-Cooker Lamb Curry with Basmati Rice, Tomato Relish and Grated Cucumber Raita

...well, I missed Pancake Tuesday, and like a good little non-Catholic, I fully planned to spend the day after the day you're supposed to use up all the dairy in your fridge making something with a ridiculous amount of milk. Don't worry though, my soul is safe, as it's not real … [Read more...] about Ash Wednesday Smoked Salmon Soufflé Roll
Because you always need a little green: Arugula Salad with Grilled Shrimp, Asparagus and Fennel
Basically fennel is my new favourite thing. I discovered roasting it and then sprinkling it with lemon and I nearly died from joy. The funny thing is I hate anise, black licorice, sambuca, pastis or any other products with that horrible taste, but somehow when you roast and (I … [Read more...] about Because you always need a little green: Arugula Salad with Grilled Shrimp, Asparagus and Fennel
Southwestern Barbecued Brisket: Bonnie Stern’s Heartsmart Cooking
How does a person who doesn't eat beef end up making a really good brisket? By trusting a good recipe in a good book, changing a few little things when you don't have quite the right ingredients, and crossing your fingers. The amount of praise that this recipe received at the … [Read more...] about Southwestern Barbecued Brisket: Bonnie Stern’s Heartsmart Cooking
