Food Geek and Detective: solving the flat banana bread mystery

May 14, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 3 Comments

Recently I took the quiz Which Food Network Personality Are You? on Facebook and I could not wait to find out which personality I was. Turns out: I’m Alton Brown. I was so excited when I got the results! Mostly because it reminded me of what a geek I used to be. How my inner […]

Yesterday, my Moo cards arrived! Moo cards are mini photo business cards. I have been waiting a long time to get mine made because I did not know which element of me I wanted to promote. In February I was terribly sick and in pain and on medication from hell, lying on my couch, holding […]

French Toast: It’s all about the bread

I followed my friend Steve’s suggestion, while he was on the show Breakfast Television, he recommended stuffing French toast with Nutella. Last weekend I stuffed my homemade apricot bread with this divine hazelnut chocolate concoction. Oh my god. It was unbelievably delicious! And it was not just because of the chocolate hazelnut spread went oozing […]

My sister Jamie‘s book club The Next Chapter is doing the infamous book Wreck This Journal for the month of June. There is still time to buy the book for those who would like to participate! Mine came quickly and with taxes and shipping was less than $20 Canadian which means it is a very […]

Yesterday I took on The Food Network Cooking Club Challenge for the month of May and made my TV baking teacher Anna Olson’s White Chocolate Banana Loaf. Delicious! It was genius to make a banana bread with pastry flour, the result is super light and not super dense like some banana breads can be. The […]

You know, I have never been a popcorn fanatic. When I would go to the movies with my family I always got licorice instead. Until I discovered Kernels‘ Dill Pickle Popcorn. That changed EVERYTHING. And now you can get these flavour packets (and I know, super bad for me but I really don’t eat popcorn […]

Please note this recipe make enough sauce for a small to medium personal-sized pizza. If you want to make sauce to a large pizza, just double the recipe! Technically I suppose this is not a true pesto because it does not have nuts and cheese in it but perhaps the culinary police will let it […]

Cooking Tutorial: How to make roasted garlic

May 7, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 12 Comments

I think the only thing that smells as savory and beautiful than homebaked bread is garlic roasting in the oven. I make roasted garlic all of the time and try to have it on hand for pasta sauces, salad dressings, mix it up with butter or olive oil and slather it on bread…happiness. Roasted garlic […]

Is it worth the extra money?

May 7, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 11 Comments

To go with those Steamed Barbecue Chicken Buns I also made this lovely Asian Noodle Salad. The recipe is based on a Jamie Oliver recipe and he obviously loves using a ton of sesame oil, there is no way I could use 2-3 tbsp of sesame oil! More like 1 tsp! That oil is super […]
