Yep, it’s fall. Like, aggressively fall. The leaves are gone off the trees, and the golden days of October are behind us, with nothing but rain and cold and dark ahead of us for the next few months. This is the part of the year 

Mila Plant Based

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I’m grateful to live in a city that is bursting with an abundance of plant-based restaurants (click to see my favourite vegan dishes in the city). Not just restaurants in a traditional vegan way. Don’t get

Down 2 Earth Plant Parlour

Well, I don’t know how brave you guys have been, but I haven’t been doing a lot of eating out lately. Yeah, I logged some hours on some patios this summer, but for the most part, any restaurant food I’ve eaten has been mostly takeout.

My Mom’s Date Squares

About a year ago, I came into possession of my mom’s recipe box. Now, I lost my mom to cancer 12 years ago, so this is somewhat of a treasure to me. Not just because these are recipes I remember her making (and me loving),

Well, hello there, October. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one, but this year feels like it has been both the longest and the shortest of all time. Like when we were in quarantine? So slow. But things feel a bit more normal now,

For a Christmas gift this year, I got Samin Nosrat’s Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat cookbook. I have been in love with Nosrat since I discovered her on a cooking show a while back, and was tickled pink when she released the Netflix documentary based on 

Sugar Free Aquafaba Meringue

Sugar Free Aquafaba Meringue

One of the questions I get asked a lot, as an aquafaba expert (should I even be bragging about that?!?) is, can you make a sugar free aquafaba? The answer is, of course, yes. However, it depends on a few factors. If you’re using the

Well, it’s officially summer here in Vancouver, though the weather seems to be a bit confused as to what season it is. However, July 15 is Blueberry Day, so hence today’s recipe. To add to the long list of why 2020 sucks, our summer has
