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 [...]
If you live in Vancouver, or will be there between June 1 and 3, you’re in luck! Canadian Living and some *ahem* handsome celebrity presenters will be on the main stage doing demonstrations at this year’s EAT! Vancouver Food & Cooking Festival – and you could win free tickets to see us live! Food Specialist, [...]
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! [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
I’m sure you’ve all seen the delicious Québécois-Style Pea Soup on the cover of our February 2012 issue. If you haven’t check out the recipe here, or watch our simple how-to video here. This soup is so easy, but a classic comfort food and really shouldn’t be missed. Well, here’s a very short history of [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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” [...]
