Jamie’s Roasted Potatoes

Originally published on January 23, 2014 I think roasted potatoes was one of those things I made even when I first started cooking. They were so easy. Wash and cut up some taters, toss them with oil, salt, and herbs, put them in the oven, and you’re done. Do you know that this is actually […]

Radish Chips

Originally published on January 25, 2014 Pita chips and potato chips are really delicious when you make them at home. But when you need a snack that’s even easier to make than those two, and won’t leave you feeling guilty for eating them all in one sitting, these radish chips are a real treat. I made them for […]

Chips and Dip

Originally published on January 26, 2014 While I gave you a very healthy snack recipe yesterday, today marks exactly one week until Super Bowl Sunday, and I have a feeling those radish chips just won’t satisfy a grease-craving crowd. If you’re still searching for awesome appetizers to serve during the game, these potato chips and dip are […]

Soft Pretzels

Originally published on January 27, 2014 I just love soft pretzels. I typically reserve them for hockey games, when you get them out of that warming stand piping hot, and dunk them in mustard until it’s falling down onto your fingers. But now that I no longer live just down the road from the arena, […]

Egg Rolls

Originally published on January 28, 2014 I’ve given you the recipes for chips and dip and soft pretzels to get you ready for the Super Bowl, and today I bring you crispy, greasy, delicious egg rolls. (Although they really don’t have to be greasy if you bake them like I did.) These are so good, I get requests for […]

Perfect Coleslaw

Originally published on January 30, 2014 If you’ve read some of my past posts, you know that I’ve long since been on the hunt for the perfect coleslaw. Now I’m here, happy to tell you, I’ve gotten it. This one is a little creamy, a little vinegary, is big on crunch, and my kids love it, […]

Tarte Tatin

Originally published on February 4, 2014 I don’t even know when I first saw a tarte tatin. I know it was on a cooking show, and I remember being in awe that this somewhat ugly giant piece of crust could be flipped over to reveal gorgeous caramel apples underneath. The fact that you build this […]

Pork Schnitzel

Originally published on February 8, 2014 I fell in love with schnitzel many moons ago. We served it at a gourmet cafe that I worked at, although we served veal instead of pork. I have to admit, I was adamantly against eating veal when I first started working there. Ya know, the whole forcing baby […]

Spatzle

Originally published on February 8, 2014 Let’s take a minute to talk about spatzle. If you’ve had it before, and maybe even if you haven’t, you know it’s a German egg noodle that’s got sort of a funky shape on your plate. Sometimes it’s long and straight, other times it’s smaller and full of curves […]

Choux Pastry

Originally published on February 15, 2014 Ah, choux pastry. This is one of those items that I happen to have a funny little cooking story about (my favourite kind of recipe!) I first heard about, and saw, people making choux pastry on shows such as MasterChef and Chopped – all those shows where the chefs […]
