Best Ever Cinnamon Toast Recipe

Now that cooler weather is rolling in, I’m on a toast kick. I feel like toast is on a completely different level than plain old bread. I almost feel bad for bread and it’s lack of crispy edges. Whenever…

Hainanese Chicken Summer Roll Recipe

Hainanese chicken rice is one of my all time favourite meals. For those of you who haven’t had it, it’s a simple chicken and rice dish that is deceptively full of flavour. I say it’s deceptive because it’s literally…

Sriracha Beef Nachos Recipe

I love nachos and I’m pretty sure the whole world loves nachos too. Case in point: my dad, who makes it a point to only consume Asian food, loves nachos. I introduced them to him many, many years ago…

Baked Banana Donuts with Nutella Glaze Recipe

I’m on a doughnut binge! First I came down with a midnight craving for doughnuts that resulted in some deep-fry action, then I saw a doughnut pan on sale at Crate and Barrel. I just had to buy it.…

Fifteen Minute Doughnut Hole Recipe

Do you ever get hit by a random craving in the middle of the night? The other day it happened to me and it was doughnuts, of course. Delicious, hot, sweet and fluffy doughnuts. I could have left the…

Yamamoto Menzou Udon, Kyoto, Japan

Want to know a secret? I’m horrible at post-processing. Horribly slow that is. I’ll take a million or more photos while on vacation, or even while cooking for the blog, but I’ll only post-process a handful. And while I…

Banh Mi Taco Recipe

These banh mi tacos combine two of my favourite things: banh mi and tacos. Sometimes it not so easy finding fresh Vietnamese baguettes (I’m quite picky about the bread my banh mi is made on) and for some reason,…

Roast Beef Sandwich with Wasabi Mayo Recipe

I feel like sandwiches are one of those polarizing foods. Maybe not so much like foie gras or durian, but there are definitely two camps: sandwich lovers and sandwich take-it-or-leavers. I’m a sandwich lover: I love their portability and…

Baked Salad

Baked salad is salad’s cozier, cardigan-wearing cousin. It’s getting super chilly outside which means all the foods I want to eat are warm and cozy. But what about salads!? I could …

Flat-Iron Carne Asada Recipe

Growing up, I didn't eat a lot of Mexican food. In our house it was all Chinese food all the time thanks to the unadventurous palate of my father. My …

Shrimp and Spring Vegetable Cauliflower Rice Paella Recipe

Give me all the carbs all the time, except when I'm feeling like it's spring and it's time to come out of hibernation. Don't get me wrong, I'll never give …

Egg Fried Rice

Egg fried rice is my favorite. It’s kind of silly, because it’s the most basic of all fried rice, but there’s something about eggs and rice that just go together. Egg …

Bourbon Peach Julep Fizz Recipe

It’s still Peach Week, and it’s Friday so it’s time to get your drink on! I’m not much of a drinker (mostly because I’m a complete lightweight) but I do love a well balanced alcoholic treat. My favourite drinks…

Bourbon Peach French Toast Recipe

It’s peach week! I love peaches and I love french toast, so it was inevitable that I would combine the two. Peaches and French toast go together so perfectly. Add some bourbon sauce in the mix and you have…

Peach Panzanella Salad with Mozzarella and Mint

Have you ever gone fruit picking? Every summer, when I was young, my parents would take us on a fruit picking road trip. We’d all pile in our maroon minivan, me in the middle seat and my brother in…

Triple Fried Chips Recipe

Most people fall into either the french fry category (thin and crispy) or the chip category (thick and potatoey). I happen to love both. I’m an equal opportunist when it comes to golden, delicious deep-fried potatoes. Thin, thick, crunchy,…
