Third year doing this Star Wars Day kitchen tradition of food puns and I’m running out of ideas. Wanted some “Chewy” chocolate coconut macaroons and ended up with these ugly-as-sin Wookie cookies…
I’m at the tail end of my trip to Japan. This is only one of many, many, many cool food-establishments I wanted to blog about: When you have friends who would use “send noodz” as a sext, trust their recommendations on where to go for ramen. Spontaneously jumped off the Shinkansen before my destination,… Continue reading Send Noodz
The spirit of Osaka, Japan’s food capital, is often describe with the term “kuidaore” – to eat oneself into total ruin. For this glutton, it wasn’t enough to just gorge on all the great local eats. I wanted to find out how to make them. Here are some cool things I learned from this cooking… Continue reading Kuidaore
No, this blog title is not a sign that I have gone insane (there is plenty of other evidence of that). I’m currently in Japan. I know it’s 420 but marijuana is a serious offence here. The Hakone Kowakien Yunessun, however, is a nifty bath house with baths of upper and downer beverages of your choice: coffee,… Continue reading What’s your favourite beverage to bathe in?
Weeks ago I made a batch of matcha milk spread to use up some dairy and to set up for a yet-undecided dessert project. While following some mindless award show coverage today, I had an urge to finally make a mille crepe cake, after having having missed the Lady M popup shop recently. Is it… Continue reading Food Hoard Intervention Challenge #3: Mille Crepe Cake with Matcha Milk Spread
There has been plenty of focus at work around deli meat innovation lately. After two weeks of conversations about charcuterie platters, I finally caved and made one for this special occasion. With you(r dinner), May the Fourth be.
As some of you know, I work for a protein company. Meat, while often the centre of our plates, is not really a “sexy” food. Sure, there are plenty of innuendos you can make about sausage and (de)boning, but if asked to name sexy foods, most people would probably rattle off oysters, chocolate, or strawberries… Continue reading True Bromance
The best part about carving a Trumpkin might just be watching this orange monstrosity, like its namesake, (hopefully) disintegrate over the next few weeks. Trump’s entire brand has always been associated with excess: the oversized ties, the gold toilets, the false bravado comments about damn near everything. Because I didn’t really have a “classic” Canadian… Continue reading Trumpkin-Carving
I like my soba Chewy and my tofu devoid of personality. (In a galaxy far, far away, this guy is NOT a little short to be a Stormtrooper. And until I find that galaxy, I’m just going to have a little fun with my food.) Happy Star Wars Day, everyone!
恭賀新喜! Happy Chinese New Year! February 8th, 2016 is the first day of the Lunar New Year and marks the start of the Year of the Monkey. Along with the Chinese, a few other Asian groups – Malaysians, Vietnamese, and Koreans, to name a few – also follow the lunar calendar and often have their own Lunar New Year… Continue reading Chinese New Year eats and treats
