Sourdough: A Saga

Gather round and I’ll tell you a tale about a pile of water and flour that took over my life for an inordinate amount of time. That’s right. I cracked. I fell into the coronavirus trap of building a sourdough starter. Unlike everyone else though, I decided to really commit to it as things started […]

When you have too much time on your hands…make gnocchi

I endeavoured to make gnocchi last weekend. How could it be that difficult, I thought. It wasn’t really. What else would I be doing with that time, I wondered. And so I set off to find a seemingly easy to follow gnocchi recipe. I did find one, by googling “Jamie Oliver gnocchi recipe”. You can […]

Middle Eastern Herb & Garlic Chicken

Back to the NYT Cooking website for this one. I will admit that it is pretty high on the hassle scale and prep time is about 30-45 minutes depending on your chopping speed. I will also admit that the hassle is totally worth it and this is another really great recipe that is sure to […]

Super indulgent chicken

This recipe is REALLY indulgent. It’s really rich and very filling. It’s also a little fussy and kind of a pain to prepare. It falls apart easily.

Update on Sourdough starter

It was a dud. I totally jinxed myself. Days 1-3 were great. So much activity, bubbles, and growth. Day 4 and things took a turn for the worse. The starter developed a layer of cloudy liquid near the bottom. I did some research and found out that this was most likely hooch and part of the […]

Whiskey Salted Caramel Cinnamon Rolls

How could they be bad? Whiskey – good. Salted caramel – good. Cinnamon – good. They’re all good by themselves, never mind together. Well they were pretty damn delicious, but they were a pain in the ass to make and they’re quite time consuming, let me tell you! The recipe is from Food52 and can […]
