Cookies are just dessert pizzas
The latest ‘rona lockdown has got the kids feeling a bit more cooped up than usual. I only wish that they would harness all their energy into more productive means……..
A Special Christmas Recipe
Merry Christmas to all our pizza friends and family! And a special thanks to M. Comeau for the truffle recipe. They are delicious!
Embracing Emmer: Ancient Grains Revived for the 21st Century
Disclaimer: This is the longest post I have ever made. In general, I am fascinated with the history of agriculture and horticulture, and heritage and ancient varieties of food. Over the past decade, there have been an increasing number of stories making rounds within online media channels about people reviving seeds and growing them into…
Bread Soup
Not too many new recipes floating around in the ol’ noggin lately since the pandemic is basically slowed down the recreational recipe time I discovered I had. Zoey and I are sharing an oldie, but a delicious goodie of a recipe! for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!
Cheese The Day
Of all the crazy pandemic activities, fads, DIY projects, I can easily 100% hands down say with the most certainty that GIFT WARS was the best decision and really keeps on giving. For those that don’t know about Gift Wars, my cousin Angie from Ontario (CAFO for short) and I have been exchanged in a…
Thursday Night: Menu à la Kees
When it comes to big meals, no one is as enthusiastic as my little boy. So I’ve given him a creative writing projet that aligns with my own selfish need to publish a very long overdue blog post. Behold Kees’ menu in all its seven year old glory! Needless to say I’ve resolved to make…
Pizza Meats: Ranked
Have you ever wanted to add some extra flare to your pizza pie, but were unsure of where to begin? The pizza market has become so completely saturated with possible flavour combinations that it makes it seemingly impossible to decide sometimes. Well, worry no more because I have ranked my favourite pizza toppings and ingredients…
Zoey has taken over 
I’ve lost my kitchen sanctity to a tweenager. Don’t bother sending help – it’s too late for me. Instead, save yourselves. Don’t teach your children to talk. Life was so much more peaceful before children spoke…
VLOG # 3 – Kouign Amann
Well I don’t know about anyone else, but I had an absolute blast making both this dessert and this video. I can’t really explain it so you’re just going to have to watch and enjoy! For the recipe, I used Paul Hollywood’s version, which I got off the BBC website. I think his measurements were…
The Chef’s Weekly Update
It’s been FOREVER since I made a post on here…what I can’t explain is my idleness for not updating my dozen of fans… Guess the pandemic and being home has finally gotten the better of me and perhaps I am running out of momentum. It’s also equally likely that I am lazy. Well anyways, here…
VLOG # 2 – Mixing drinks
Here we go! Something a little different. I’m pretty sick of not having sunny warm days so I decided to mix some drinks that would transport me out of moist, dewy, Nova Scotia. Come on vacation with me cuz it’s cocktail time!
Buffalo Cauliflower Nachos
I had a craving for nachos that I managed to turn into a bonafide vegetarian recipe. (Just reminding everyone out there that you don’t need to be a vegetarian to enjoy a vegetarian meal.) Break out of your comfort zone and try this one… First we are going to make the buffalo cauliflower. I’ve chopped…
Pizza Review
I haven’t gotten up to doing too much kitchen experimentation over the last couple of days, but I did receive a fun new kitchen gadget in the mail! Needless to say, product review is a family affair in our house… For historical reference, here are the two pizzas we ate immediately after filming. Enjoy my…
Will it Pizza??
I mentioned I would be re-visiting this theme a while back. I feel that, since we all have TIME, we should be stretching ourselves creatively. So I have put a challenge to myself: what sort of foodstuffs can I fuse with a pizza? So far, I’ve done a shwarma pizza, the pierogi pizza, and my…
Guac This Way
I promised my fans a guacamole recipe so here’s a quick, easy, and especially cheap version… The core ingredients to a guac are avocados, lime, and salt. Anything you add beyond that is just bonus flavour. For today’s iteration, I’ve got the normal stuff with the addition of red onion, grape tomatoes, cilantro (paste), garlic…
LOCKDOWN LUAU
I wanted to do something special for dinner, without causing too much of a mess in the kitchen. I had a pork roast already, so I decided to make BBQ pork and pineapple skewers on the barbeque. The sometimes unfortunate side effect of not being able to grocery shop whenever I want to leads to…
Lunch Leftovers for Summer
Here’s a food idea that you can try at home with a few easy ingredients and some leftovers. This is a dish that my sister Summer would love: a mexican salad bowl! I love these because you can make use of whatever you have, it’s relatively healthy, and every bite you take is a little…
Boredom Baking, Pandemic Pizza
I started off this Easter weekend with two goals: make Easter cookies, and develop a way to put pineapple onto a pizza that I didn’t find revolting. I like pineapple just fine, but on a pizza? Not my style. I am a bit more of a traditionalist with my pizza style (with the noted exception…
Mood: Pizza
This is Monday’s creation: another attempt at improving on Boston Pizza’s pierogi pizza. I know I am partial but I believe mine is the superior pie. I structured this second attempt a little differently than the first. From the dough moving up, I layered the garlic cream sauce base, chili flakes, combination of cheddar and…
Pie Art
Hi all! Making pizza isn’t just about making a meal; it is an art form in itself. You have a dough canvas that you decorate with all sorts of colourful toppings. Food that looks great AND tastes great? That’s a no brainer. Tomorrow I will be making some more dough, and will be constructing my…
