Back in May I learned how to make steamed barbecue chicken buns. A new cooking technique for me and ever since I made those buns I have been wanting to make more! This time I skipped the mixer and made the dough mostly by hand with a little help from my food processor. I also […]

A few months ago I think it was Genie Sea who made a commented and asked how to make caramelized onions. Sorry it took so long for me to get around to making some Genie Sea! I do not make them often but with my sister Shannon the Movie Moxie visiting I decided to make […]

I love the show Christine Cushing Live and the host and I have very similar food sensibilities so when she said she made a less sugary pecan pie than most, I knew I had to try it. You can find the recipe here. What I did not realize is that there is such a thing […]

For weeks now I have been waking up trying to come up with a recipe for Cold Berry Soup. You see, in the last issue of Victoria Magazine they had a section dedicated to cold soups for the summer. I saw the Old-Fashion Strawberry Soup recipe and thought, no, that is not right. That is […]

I am the only one in my household who likes shellfish. This does not mean I can’t have it. It just means that when I need to come with food just for me, I take the opportunity to make something special that I am going to love. In Nova Scotia, mussels are cheap! I bought […]

Above you can see some cold butter that I have cut into piece and put into some flour in a very deep stainless steel bowl. One of my pet peeves in the kitchen is mess. I like the deep bowl because I can be aggressive when mixing the flour and butter together with my pastry […]

When I was a kid, my Mom used to make the most amazing Caesar salad dressing that no restaurant could compete with. For years I bugged her for the recipe and one day she emailed it to me. I was so excited that I wanted to make it that day until I saw that the […]

May 26, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 7 Comments

I will admit something embarrassing here. Brownies are my baking nemesis. They either come out too wet or too dry which is very frustrating. I often buy dry mixes instead of making them from scratch, shocking I know! Brownies have a lot of rules to them. I will go through these rules with you today. […]

How to peel and cut up a mango

May 25, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 10 Comments

When I made my homemade mango sorbet, Bohemian Single Mom made an excellent comment. She mentioned that she rarely buys mangoes because by the time you remove the peel and the giant seed, there is so little left. I felt the same way and then I saw someone on TV remove the peel with a […]
