Once again I decided to take on a retro recipe inspired by The Food Network’s forum topic dedicated to retro cooking and baking. What would be more class than making a soufflé? Something I had never done before, perfect! I love a challenge. I must have sensed this opportunity because I spontaneously picked up a […]
Strawberry Red Wine Rose Gelatin Mold
On Foodtv.ca’s forums we have been discussing retro food. We really did not want to make aspic so we chose summer Jell-o molds instead. Am I ever glad we did! This recipe is inspired by Ace of Cake’s Duff’s Mom’s Cherry-Walnut Gelatin Mold Recipe which was published in the May 2010 issue of The Food Network Magazine. I got […]
Recipe Review: Jamie Oliver’s Meatballs and Pasta
That is real Parmesan, I put it through a mini food processor and now it looks like the canned stuff! Dearest Ava recommended this Jamie Oliver’s Meatballs and Pasta recipe after she made it and posted her photograph to The Food Network Site. Considering she is Italian and said that this recipe tasted like the real deal, I just […]
Food Network Cooking Club Challenge: Matt Dunigan’s Honey Mustard Chicken
The Food Network’s Cooking Club Challenge for the month of June is Matt Dunigan’s Honey Mustard Chicken. I will admit that Matt’s show drives me crazy. I have never lasted more than a couple of minutes, it feels so much like an outdoor drilling infomercial that I immediately have to switch the channel. As a result, […]
Recipe Review: Anthony Sedlak’s Black Olive and Goat Cheese Tart

That is one of the reasons why I enjoy his show The Main so much. Yes, you could make this tart with store-bought sauces and sundried tomatoes but he doesn’t! Everything except […]
Taste of Nostalgia
Last fall during my trip to Toronto I was shocked to see Mr. Greenjeans still upstairs in the Eaton Centre. They are celebrating their 30th birthday this year and apparently changed their decor and menu. What a shame! It was here that I was introduced to my favourite sandwich of all time, one I have been […]
Jamie Oliver’s Time Travelling Breaded Mushrooms
Recently a friend of mine that I have known from public school asked me via Facebook if I had a recipe for breaded mushrooms. I did not, figuring that the only way to make them was deep frying them. Leave it to Jamie Oliver to come up with a baked version: Jamie Oliver’s Breaded Mushrooms with Aioli. I used […]

A long weekend on my own with a plethora of English muffins
I have also been product testing my new Paula Deen kettle, compliments of csnstores.com It is the long Victoria Day weekend here and I have completely filled it with food. Weekends can be very long and lonely here, even when the weather is fantastic. I turned my attention to creative foodie ideas and took full […]
