Mona’s Gingercake (and a Gluten-Free, Vegan version)

I once made about a dozen gingerbread recipes and invited my friends over to taste all of them. It was an obsessive episode (not unlike my recent situation with cauliflower, only nowhere near as healthy).

Cauliflower Kofta in Creamy Tomato Gravy (pan fried instead of deep fried)

I know, I know, enough with the cauliflower recipes already! Sorry, I am not even close to done with cauliflower. I am having a cauliflower moment.

Savoury Indian Dumpling Cake in a Tangy Tomato Sauce (Handavo)

For a North American, this is a very odd recipe. It is from the state of Gujarat in India, and it is not the sort of dish that finds its way into Indian restaurant menus here.

Green Salad with Asian Pear, Mint and Almonds

My husband usually leaves town for the month of January. At least, this is the third year in a row that he has done so.

Cauliflower Fried with Aromatic Spices

Quinoa, Fennel and Pomegranate Salad

I found a recipe that I am super inspired by. It’s by Yotam Ottolenghi, published in this month’s issue of Bon Appetit magazine. Yotam is an Israeli-born chef who is renowned for his treatment of vegetables.

Brussel Sprout Pakora

This is a recipe from The Patterned Plate which is a food blog that I have recently fallen in love with. I highly recommend that you check it out for excellent recipes, stories and advice…

Fake Double the Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies (gluten-free and vegan if you like)

Our dear friend Marc came over for dinner the other night. He doesn’t live in the city anymore so my husband and I don’t see him as much as we would like to. We invited another dear friend, Lake, over as well. All four of us met while working on a puppet show that toured…

Moroccan Carrot Salad

At this time of year I can get my favourite carrots. They’re grown in Lillooet and are amazingly sweet and delicious. The only carrots I’ve had with more flavour were from my own garden. When I worked in a produce department we used to sell out of them constantly, so I know that I’m not…
