Megrim, Cornish sole & wild garlic capers
Sometimes I love the idea of having a couple of days doing nothing but when I try I always come to the conclusion that it isn’t for me. This week was supposed to be on the quiet side but when I had a few hours of nothing planned I had an urge to go and … Continue reading
Crispy summer rolls
The year kicked off with one storm after another and plenty of rain! I am not complaining as it gives me a great excuse to slow down a little bit, catch up on my favourite series and cook new foods. I still have left over food from the holidays in the fridge and I am … Continue reading
A big bowl of Pho
For what feels like the first day in months I am having a proper day off. I had time to think about this past year and what might be to come. One of my ovens packed in on Christmas day, the turkey was just about cooked and I wrapped it in tinfoil and rested it … Continue reading
Loin of rabbit
Lately I have been working pretty much non stop, fulfilling orders and re stocking my own shelves with products to sell at the market. Working from home makes it so easy to go to the kitchen “just to make something” not quite realizing I am working and forgetting to take some time off. As I … Continue reading

Prawn & polenta
It has been a bit busy here lately and to relax I was reading different recipes. I read about a Venetian recipe with shrimp and polenta. It sounded delicious and I couldn’t wait to try it. As I got the ingredients out to make the dish I changed quite a lot, the prawns and polenta … Continue reading
Halibut and delicious culatello ham
Sometimes I find an ingredient to build a dish around. This time I came across a salumi, culatello from Natoora. This salumi comes from the Parma region and it is only made in Lombardy and Emilia Romagna, Italy. The flavor is delicate yet distinct. My first instinct was to boil some angel hair pasta and … Continue reading
Pancetta & nasturtium wrapped hake
Each week I do a menu for home delivery or you can pick it up at the market. I do a different menu every week and this week I did fishcakes. I spoke to my friend Darren who is a fishmonger and he suggested that I use hake. Normally I would go to cod but … Continue reading
