In the winter, I am a dedicated eater of various roasted root vegetables served with various sauces (Aloo Chat Inspired Oven Fries and Oven Yam Fries with Miso Gravy). This kind of food is easy, satisfying, warming, nourishing and delicious. It’s the kind of food I need to eat after braving the cold weather. I…

Red Lentil and Autumn Vegetable Soup
I made this soup a few weeks ago when the leaves first started changing and I choose ingredients mostly because of their autumnal colors. It is not typical for me to make food with aesthetics as my primary motivation. Luckily though, the soup turned out to be tasty, as well as visually pleasing! The temperature in…
Goat Cheese and Autumn Vegetable Tart with a Gluten-Free Poppy Seed Crust
I make this tart a lot. It like to serve it to guests with a Spicy Beet Salad with Horseradish and maybe some duck pate and radishes. I like to take the leftovers to work for lunch the next day. I also like to eat this tart with a cup tea for breakfast. Like all…

Paprika Hendl/ Happy Halloween!
I am not that great at celebrating Halloween. Truthfully, I dress up every day…or at least every day that I go into public. Also, I earn my living making masks (and puppets) for and with small children. So it is hard for me to get especially worked up about Halloween. I usually end up cooking…
Apple Ricotta Fritters for Hank (gluten-free or not)
Apple Fritters for eccentric fathers and ghosts.
Goddess Apple Cake with Meringue Topping (Gluten-Free)
This started out as a humble apple cake. At first, my only goal was to make this cake gluten-free, but then I kept on making it. Each time, I made just slight modifications and before I knew it the cake had more apples, more lemon zest and more vanilla. The cake itself has less sugar…
Whole Brined and Roasted Cauliflower with Romesco Sauce/ Romesco Sauce with Everything!
Last fall, I came across lots of recipes for whole roasted cauliflower. The dish has amazing visual impact, and if you poach it first in wine and spices, the flavour is extraordinary. Of the various recipes that I tried, I liked the technique used in this recipe from Bon Appetite the best. It involves poaching…
Cinnamon Financiers with Apples and Walnuts (Gluten-free)
Brace yourself. The apple recipes are coming. I started lining up recipe ideas months ago in preparation for the apples that I knew would be coming in my farmshare. I have not been receiving as many as I had expected, but enough to begin the great apple dessert festival of 2014. I like financiers. They…
