Instant Pot Cheesecake

Yes, you can make dessert in the Instant Pot! In fact, it works really well, because it holds at a steady temperature, so it’s perfect for desserts like cheesecake that are a bit more delicate. Normally, you’d make cheesecake in the oven in a bain

The more I use my Instant Pot, the more impressed I am. Oh sure, at the beginning, I used it in all the traditional ways; soups, stews, beans, oatmeal, eggs. Basically savoury dishes, which I’m sure, is what most people think about when they think

I love my Instant Pot. It’s no secret! But I mean, for real, what’s not to love? It slices! It dices! Okay, not really, BUT it does steam, pressure cook, slow cook and make yogourt. You may have noticed that there are a lot of 

Vegan Beer Pretzels

Vegan Beer Pretzels

Beer + Pretzels = perfect match. Pretzels are warm, salty and chewy, a perfect match with a cold, crisp beer. One of the things that amazes me the most about cooking is how just a few simple ingredients can really turn into way more than

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

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
