Prawn Cocktail Recipe

I’m obsessed with Marks and Spencer prawn cocktail flavoured snacks. Back in the day, Vancouver used to have an outpost of the popular British shop and whenever I passed by I would buy a bag. They were completely addictive:…

Shrimp Risotto Balls

The first time I ever made risotto it took forever. I stirred until I thought my arm would fall off. As much as I’d like to say that the result was well worth it, it wasn’t. It was a…

Fennel Sausage Pizza Recipe

I don’t think I know anyone who doesn’t like pizza. Even my dad, who’s on a self-imposed strictly Asian food only diet, has been known to enjoy a slice or two of Hawaiian. He’s even been inside the pizza…

Tacos al Pastor Recipe

I’ve eaten a lot of tacos in my life and one of my favourites, hands down, are tacos al pastor. The combination of crispy charred pork and sweet roasted pineapples in a warmed corn tortilla can’t be beat. Unfortunately…

Kimchi Quesadilla Recipe

Putting kimchi and cheese together might sound wrong, but trust me, it’s oh-so right. Spicy kimchi and melty cheese go together like burgers and fries. I wish I could take credit for inventing this brilliant combination, but I…

Caramelized French Toast Recipe

Sometimes I think about a dish obsessively. It doesn’t have to be anything special or complicated; it’s usually something random and most likely, related to breakfast. Take for instance, this caramelized French toast. I must have thought…

Porchetta Carbonara Recipe

When you have a lot of porchetta in the house, you tend to get creative. So far we’ve had sandwiches (delicious), tacos (very tasty), and carbonara (even better than traditional?!). Carbonara is one of my favourite pasta dishes, so…

Tomato Basil Bufala Salad Recipe

Buffalo are a great source of entertainment for me. They are giant and fuzzy, their milk makes awesome cheese, and you can go around saying “Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo…

Spiced Apple Cider Recipe

I'm back in Vancouver for a week and my friends, it is cold here! I think my body has permanently acclimatized to the warm weather of Southern California. I'm not …

Bottlerock 2018 What to Eat and Who to Check out on the Culinary Stage

Mike and I are headed to Bottlerock this weekend and I couldn't be more excited because as much as Bottlerock is an excellent music festival, they're also a food and …

Pumpkin Sage Mac and Cheese

This cozy mac and cheese is all about classic fall flavors: earthy pumpkin and crispy sage. Bonus: It’s almost as fast to make as the boxed stuff. Cooking the pasta in …

Kettle Corn

Kettle corn is the perfect anytime treat. It’s popcorn, but better because it’s salty and sweet! I am addicted to kettle corn. It doesn’t matter if it’s from a summer fair …

Clam Chowder Recipe

The days are getting a bit warmer and the sun’s staying out a little bit longer, but I’m still feeling the leftover chill of winter. We’ve been taking lots of windy walks and the best way to warm up…

Earl Grey Madeleines Recipe

When I’m feeling a bit peckish and I don’t want a full-on snack, I’ll often turn to tea. A warm cup of milky earl grey always makes me feel super cozy. And of course proper tea needs to have…

The Easiest Poached Egg Recipe

I love eggs. They’re super versatile and a great way to add extra protein (and oomph!) to a dish. As a breakfast lover, I pretty much enjoy all styles of eggs, but poached hold a special place in my…

Beef and Guinness Pie Recipe

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I don’t usually celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, but this year I thought I’d make something Irish themed. After all, I’m quite fond of Ireland–we share a love of potatoes. I was thinking of an…
