We’ve been thinking about putting this one together for a while now, and with the big game right around the corner we figured why not? Let’s do a “sophisticated” Super Bowl charcuterie specifically geared to sports fans and/or major sporting events. The idea was go beyond the normal pizza, chicken wings, and chips, and pull together a bunch of top shelf finger foods, dips, and sauces (all homemade of course) that your guests will love.
I’ll cut directly to the chase – tiramisu is my favourite dessert EVER! Not to overstate this too much, but I’ve loved this light, not-too-sweet, boozy dessert from the first moment I tried it more than 20 years ago. So, I’m very happy to share my go-to Tiramisu recipe.
It’s been more than 2 years since we’ve had the opportunity to visit Supply & Demand in Ottawa’s Westboro neighbourhood and I’m pleased to say that the product has only gotten better with time. Our return visit was outstanding – same great service; innovative menu selections; and a cool vibe.
You’ll fall in love with this Brie, Bacon, Mushroom and Caramelized Onion Pizza. Drizzled with pure maple syrup, it makes for a decadent appetizer or main.
This is definitely something everyone needs to try at home. Create your own “artisanal” or churned butter with little more than a bit of heavy cream and a mixer.
For as long as we can remember it has been a tradition of ours to gather with good friends and family on Christmas Eve to celebrate the holiday season. This goes way back to our teenage years when an annual trip to Uncle Art and Aunt Billie’s house was the main attraction. There was always a huge pot of homemade chili on the stove, as well as a lot of laughs.
I wanted to share some thoughts on what I consider the essential tools that every home cook (or wannabe chef) should have in their kitchen. To many, these may seem obvious, but without them even the most basic recipes could prove difficult.
I had the opportunity to visit Stofa restaurant with my family for a second time in August to celebrate my 50th birthday. Once again, the restaurant – ranked #2 on the 2019 Top Ten Best New Restaurants List from Ottawa Magazine – didn’t fail to impress.
