Sourdough Bread for the Apocalypse

Sourdough Bread for the Apocalypse

Well that went escalated quickly. I try to be active on this platform at a minimum of once a week(ish), and last week’s post had nary a mention of the words pandemic, social distancing, quarantine, or apocalypse, words, which I feel like I now hear

Inspiration is a fickle beast. I’ve been writing this blog for so long, I don’t actually know how long it’s been, but I’m guessing it’s a decade or so. Certainly my participation has waxed and waned. There have been times when I generated 5 blog 

Commercial Drive Bakeries

Commercial Drive Bakeries

I am a girl who likes her sweets. I love a good bakery. And a cluster of them together??!? Pure gold. You can walk from one to the next, and that, my friends, burns calories so you can have an extra cookie or a slice 

Zucchini Fritters {Vegan, Gluten-Free}

Zucchini Fritters {Vegan, Gluten-Free}

Three years ago when I was writing my cookbook, I discovered the joys of chickpea flour. My cookbook, as you probably already know, is dedicated to Aquafaba, that weird goop that you drain off of a can of beans that acts as an astonishing egg

How to Make Oat Milk

I don’t really miss meat. And if you look around, meat substitutes have come a long, long way! The Beyond Burger took Canada by storm last year, and it’s been a really exciting development in the vegan/vegetarian space, though I, personally, am not a huge

Rapini and Barlotti Bean Pasta (with @PastaBoyPeter)

I am lucky enough to have surrounded myself, in this city, with some great people: good friends, and good foodies. Sometimes those lines cross, and those who  were already good foodies became great friends. My buddy Peter Ciuffa (aka @pastaboypeter) fits into both categories. Even

Salted Maple Caramel {Vegan}

I am Canadian, eh? I love Tim Horton’s coffee, poutine (have you tried the vegan version at The Spud Shack?), and the ocean. Catherine O’Hara is my hero. I own many plaid shirts. I’ve been almost everywhere in this great country, and I love every
