An exotic treat: Thai tea
On a recent trip to Thailand, I was struck by a couple of things: 1) Why aren’t Thai people fat? Every meal included fried things, sweet things and starchy things … all the elements that cause a rotund Canadian girl like me to have to wear the extra stretchy pants. I’ve decided to come back [...]

How-To: supercute Earth Day cookies!
This Earth Day cookie was the result of a happy accident. In fact, now that I mention it, this is how most good ideas happen in the Test Kitchen. We were making chocolate/vanilla marble cookies and they came out looking very planetary. I swapped the chocolate dough for a blue-tinted dough… et voila! Earth cookies! [...]

A sneak peek into the test kitchen – recipes revealed!
I have the pleasure of working with many talented food stylists. We often joke about how people believe the food they prepare for photos is shellac-sprayed and phony in order to make it look beautiful. Well, I can assure you – the food is real. In fact, 99% of the time, it’s still perfectly lovely to [...]

Recipe for classic Chilean empanadas
I just got back from a vacation in Santiago, Chile (where my stepfather is from). And although I could go on – at extreme, annoying length – about my love of Chilean food and wine, I will limit this post to my absolute favourite thing: empanadas. Empanadas can be found all over South America, but [...]

The easiest pantry-friendly weeknight pasta salad
Last week, I asked our Canadian Living staffers what they do when they have limited a) time, b) ingredients and 3) motivation to cook. Well, last night, it was yours truly who was in that very situation! I was starving and knew I only had about T-minus 15 minutes before I started getting, as a [...]

Instant dinner fixes from the Canadian Living team
It’s Tuesday at 6:30 pm. You’ve had a really long day and it started before the sun was up. Your car started making a funny noise on the way home. Traffic was terrible. You were late picking up your kid. And now you’re faced with the ultimate challenge – finding the energy and inspiration to [...]

The best (and easiest) slow-roasted pork belly recipe in the world!
Anyone who knows me knows my love of the belly. This is the ultimate expression of pork, in my opinion. How to roast a pork belly: Take a slab of pork belly with the rind still attached (available in Chinatowns, everywhere). Often, you’ll find they’re about 1.5 kg, but any size will work. Score the skin [...]

10 New Year’s food resolutions that don’t punish you
I can’t tell you how many food- and weight-related resolutions I hear in a day. I mean, I work in a test kitchen … where we feed people. Needless to say, it’s a hot topic. The sad part is that I can’t think of one resolution that isn’t a) some kind of “I’m so fat” [...]
