One of the primary focuses of Foodie Foray will be to share some of our favourite recipes. Over the years we’ve had the opportunity to enjoy some amazing dishes, and we’d be remiss if we didn’t pass these along to our foodie followers.

Scallop Spaghetti with White Wine + Garlic Cream
If you’re looking to take your ordinary spaghetti to a new level, then this Scallop Spaghetti recipe will do the trick. If you’re like me, I absolutely love to cook with scallops. These sweet, tender morsels pair so well with just about anything and they are especially great with creamy sauces – such as the…

Mushroom + Caramelized Onion Pizza
There a two interesting things about this pizza: first, it’s made with a Parmesan Bechamel sauce, as opposed to a traditional tomato sauce; and second, it’s topped with maple syrup! OK, after you get over the “WTF” moment you realize that this is actually an incredible pizza recipe. At first, even I was skeptical about…

Roasted Strawberry Ice Cream
The vanilla bean ice cream base for this recipe provides just the right amount of sweetness to counter the tartness of the roasted strawberries. It’s smooth and silky, while offering up some unexpected texture from the frozen strawberry. I can’t recommend this combo enough!

Sticky Pork Belly Bites
The dish provides an excellent balance between sweet, salty, and spicy and literally melts in your mouth. The addition of cucumber and carrot adds flavour and a pleasant crunch, and helps to cut down the spiciness. Needless to say, I’m very happy that I didn’t give up on this special ingredient.

Crispy Chicken Fingers
I don’t know about you, but I absolutely love chicken fingers! This is one of my all-time favourite comfort foods. There’s just something so simple about a chicken finger – maybe it’s the lack of utensils – and they always seem to bring me back to my childhood. This particular recipe is one that I’ve…

Honey-Infused Fig Jam
I’ve never been a huge fan of jam, but when I stumbled upon this recipe a few years back I was instantly hooked. The jam highlights the wonderful natural sweetness of the fig and exposes hints of honey and vanilla, all in a silky, yet textured, consistency. I use this jam with pretty much everything,…

Dark Chocolate Keto Clusters
One of the things we’ve been craving since starting our experiment with Keto cooking are snacks. Simple little bite-sized morsels of something – sweet, salty, I don’t care – just something to snack on that won’t impact ketosis. While searching Amazon for Keto-friendly ingredients, I noticed that they are selling a lot of chocolate-based Keto…

Sourdough English Muffins
A lot of people will tell you to use your “leftover sourdough starter” to make English muffins, but in my opinion these are good enough to warrant the full batch. Around our house these muffins are a breakfast staple and are perfect either on their own or with a Churned Butter, or as part of…

Italian Crusty Bread
This recipe pays homage to a recent trip to Italy and all the fantastic bread that we encountered. We actually tried one very similar to this at Verve in Rome (which I’d highly recommend) and it was outstanding. It pairs perfectly with any of our Italian-inspired recipes, and is particularly delicious when served with our…

Sous Vide Pickles
For typical pickles you’d be looking at a marinating period of 4-5 weeks. With the sous vide method, we’re talking 3-4 hours. Incredible! And the end result is as crunchy and flavourful as the ones you’d need to wait for. And maybe the best part is that you can add whatever spice blend you like.…
