We’ve been enjoying a dish very similar to this one at the very popular Pure Kitchen restaurant here in Ottawa for the past couple of years and have been trying out different ways to recreate it. We tried deep frying, sauteing, and even an air fryer method, but none of our attemps came close to the crunchy cauliflower we were trying to achieve. Usually, everything just ended up as mush, or the sauce wouldn’t stick because the breading was wrong. This needed to be rectified!

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.

For typical pickles you’d be looking at a marinating period of 4-5 weeks. With the sous vide method, we’re talking 4-5 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. For these pickles I’ve gone with a more traditional blend of garlic and dill, but feel free to experiment. I can assure you that the results will the delicious.

This is another one of those recipes that may cause you to re-think ever using store-bought Hoisin sauce again. This sauce is incredibly flavourful and full of natural, fresh ingredients that will make your dishes shine. It can be served alone as a dip or a side, or be used as a main ingredient in other dishes – as we have done with our Sticky Pork Belly appetizer.

I first made this pizza dough three years ago and instantly fell in love with it. It packs a lot of great flavour despite only having a few key ingredients and comes out perfectly crispy every time.

If had known years ago that making your own churned butter was so easy, I would never have bought butter in a grocery store again.

The flavour profiles of this pizza are incredible: the crispiness of the crust, the saltiness of the bacon, the savoury nature of the mushrooms and brie, and the sweetness of the onion and maple syrup combine magically to create a multi-sensory taste experience. This one will absolutely blow you away!
