Also Known As: Yum & Yummer Cookbook Review I was immediately impressed when I discovered that Greta Podleski had gone out on her own and made the cookbook Yum & Yummer. I wrote to her and asked for a copy and am happy to say that not only do I love this cookbook, it is my favourite […]
Cookbook Review: Feast – Recipes & Stories from a Canadian Road Trip
The Book I do not think I could have been more excited about a cookbook than when I heard about Lindsay Anderson and Dana Vanveler‘s Feast: Recipes and Stories from a Canadian Road Trip. I heard them interviewed on CBC about their travels across Canada and their foodie adventures which they turned into a cookbook. I HAD […]
Cookbook Review: The East Van Foodie by Brad Hill
The Inspiration It was this poster in the window for The East Van Foodie that got me to explore the store Cook Culture. I stopped dead in my tracks and went inside searching for the book. Why? Because when it comes to food culture in Vancouver almost everything is focused on the downtown foodie scene. […]
Anna Olson’s Chocolate-Dipped Ladyfingers & Cookbook Review
I have had a blast working through Anna Olson‘s cookbook Bake With Anna Olson. From getting the cookbook signed in person by her through the trials and tribulations of making her focaccia, bagel bites and her Indian naan bread… I have enjoyed this baking journey and will continue to work through her cookbook and learn a ton. For […]

Cookbook Review: The Unofficial Downton Abbey Cookbook
I ventured on to making my third recipe attempt from The Unofficial Downton Abbey Cookbook by making the Spinach and Feta Salad with Fresh Beetroot. I was a little wary at first because I had not had a lot of success combining beets with feta but if I could like this salad, I would be very impressed […]
Homemade Condiments by Jessica Harlan

Each recipe fits on one page of this beautiful hardcover book, making them super accessible. It also had me asking, could recipes this simple be delicious? Teriyaki Sauce I must […]
Anne Burrell’s Wilted Romaine Salad & Cookbook Review
Anne’s Burrell’s Own Your Kitchen, published by Random House of Canada, is inspiring. If you love Anne, she is in every page of her cookbook. What is even better? She knows how to make a kick-ass salad and that, for me, is high praise. Her Wilted Romaine Salad with Roasted Pears and Hazelnuts was divine. I […]
True Blood Cookbook Review
Normally I no longer do cookbook reviews. They take a lot of time to accomplish with all that recipe testing from one book within a short period of time. Also, I hate letting down commitments. The great thing about getting a cookbook as a present (thanks Kelly!) is that I can do whatever the heck […]
