The winter palette remains earthy and starchy. So, as homage, this season of soups and snuggles has a a bounty of subtle, earthy goodness typically tons of root vegetables and brassicae (aka cauliflowers, Brussels sprouts and all the good stuff). Pro Tip: Many of the seasonal produce available in February actually end up converting starch to sugar after the frost hits (to protect themselves). Because of this, vegetables after the first frost are typically more sweet!...

Yet another quick and dirty lunch from me today. A bowl of seasonal winter goodness smothered in a super green sauce that’s tasty, healthy and nice to look at too. How are you getting on with your NY resolutions, by the way? I’m pretty pathetic, to be honest. So you know how I vowed that no sugar will pass my lips in January? Well, do two squares of dark chocolate (pretty large squares, so they probably count as four) with your afternoon espresso count?...

Chiffonade (pronounced shee-foh-naad) is a technique by which flat, leafy herbs and vegetables are cut so you can get curled strips that look great as garnish. Not only do they look great, slicing herbs and greens this way helps tenderize them (since it breaks down tough fibers) - as a result, it helps to cook them quicker and more evenly....

I am one of the few people under the age of 82 who loves the taste of licorice. I’m the one that jumps at the black jelly beans when no one else will eat them, and I LOVE Good and Plenty. Hey! Stop looking at your computer screen with that look of disgust. That being said, the majority of the population, my husband included, hates the taste. In fact, I came across these particular fennel bulbs because my friend got them in her CSA box and pawned them off on me (along with some excess potatoes) since she, too, hates the taste (YAY for me!...

This pasta is on the table in less than 20 minutes! I love using mild Italian sausages, which are generally seasoned with garlic and fennel, as they work so well in this recipe – blending with the creamy, garlicky sauce that’s made even tastier with parmesan and chicken stock. However, regular pork, beef or chicken sausages work great too, as they are more subtle in flavour, appealing to a wide range of tastes....

Notes and Variations Use a pecan shortbread crust: To take this a notch further, you can replace the traditional Graham crackers with homemade or storebought pecan sandies (or pecan shortbread cookies instead).

No whipped cream, no ice-cream scoops floating in it, no artificially flavoured coffee syrups. What you see is what you get and that’s good as, apart from them tasting delicious, freddos are also beautiful to look at....

Since pancakes are a weekend staple at my house, I (almost) always make sure to make them as healthy as possible, using whole grains and little to no refined sugar (like in my banana chia seed pancakes and my pumpkin pie pancakes). These fluffy berry oat pancakes are just that- they are made with 100% whole grains (a mixture of whole wheat flour and oats) and only 2 tablespoons of brown sugar (for which honey can be substituted- see recipe below)....

Even though autumn is clearly very much in the air, I am still a little nostalgic about summer. It’s perhaps because I feel that there wasn’t enough of it this year and what there was was tainted by the realities of a global pandemic – and so I am not ready to say goodbye to late summer produce just yet. Especially eggplants, which I have been buying a lot of lately....
