What do you do with a leek? People confuse leeks with green onions. Leeks do look sort of like giant scallions, but they’re not exactly the same. They are alliums like onions, shallots, chives, and garlic. You can think of leeks as a sweeter, milder onion in terms of taste. What’s not to like? Most people know about combining potatoes and leeks, especially in soup, but very few people use leeks beyond that....
Sometimes a salad, no matter how delicious, just doesn’t cut it for lunch. What if you could capture the flavors and textures of your favorite salad and make it into a satisfying veggie sandwich? Turns out, it’s not so hard. First, I slather toasted bread with a simplified version of our Creamy Whipped Feta Dip made with tangy feta and Greek yogurt (no mayo necessary!)

Sep 14, 2012 I basked poolside/surf-side/barbeque-side in post-wedding bliss for the first couple of weeks, then spent a week in jammies, cuddling under blankets watching Jurassic Park and the likes. No laptops, no cell phones, no communication with the outside world. Just friends, family, food, comfy clothes, sunshine and patios. Inevitably upon my return to Vancouver I was greeted by the consequence of not checking my email for 21 days and have been in a catch-up frenzy since....

Sep 02, 2018, Updated Sep 23, 2022 I had my one of my best friends, Marnie, over a few weeks ago. She lives in a different town, which has actually been a gift to our friendship. Since we live apart, we have so much quality time when we do see each other — sleepovers are always in the cards. We’ve been friends since organic chemistry in second-year university, and now we each have two little kids who are also inseparable friends....
I am a huge kitchen gadget geek!! Especially when they make my cooking faster and easier. Instant pot is on the top of the list, and a second close is the air fryer, and the third is a kitchenaid stand mixer.

Jan 26, 2018, Updated Jun 20, 2023 I have a real soft spot for mall Chinese food. I can’t help it. Most of it is brazenly inauthentic, I know – (hello, giant chicken balls with cherry sauce) – but I just love the crispy, sweet, salty thing that goes on in those magical food warmers. I made this recipe after one of my food court favourites – Orange Chicken. Juicy bites of lightly-coated chicken with deliciously sticky orange sauce....
If you have ever found a green leaf in your Indian food other than cilantro, it was probably a curry leaf! This is because fresh curry leaves are a must-have in South Indian cooking. They are most often added into tempering (tadka) whole or chopped to release their natural flavors and aromas. You can learn more about tempering in “How to Use Curry Leaves.” A host of Indian snacks and entree dishes are tempered with curry leaves....
