Basic creme caramel
Creme caramel! The equally impressive but simpler cousin of creme brûlée! this is an oldie but goodie recipe. Very easy once familiar with process yet impressive. Then plate it as pretentious as you like!

Matcha black sesame coconut oil cookies
Baking is the bane of my existence, especially when i’m trying to make random things with whatever I have in my pantry. These actually turned out ok.

Miso caramel popcorn
I’ve been in a rut… my diet has consisted of avocado banana smoothie for breakfast, tofu salad for lunch and popcorn…lots of popcorn for dinner and weekend meals…every-single-day (with the exception of going out to all the new foodie places to eat of course). So I might as well embrace my popcorn rut and share…

Duck breast prosciutto
I’m in a cooking hiatus. The title of this blog says it all – no postcall days= no creative cooking. So this isn’t exactly a recipe, not for the faint of heart, and definitely not for those who are fearful of dying from listeria.

Peanut butter miso eclair
I haven’t had a free weekend for a while – either on call or have Alex stay with me. So when a completely empty yet too-chilly-to-go-out weekend rolled around (well…I chose not to do anything productive), I didn’t quite know what to do with myself besides lying on the couch with Netflix. So I got…

Grilled sweetbreads
Yet another restaurant favourites of mine! I love the soft and creamy texture of sweetbreads, which is lamb or veal thymus glands. Eateries often serve this delicacy breaded and fried. So on a sunny Saturday morning, I set out to St.Lawrence Market to try out cooking this thing myself.

Giant peanut butter duck fat cookie for one
Honestly I can’t remember the last time I made a cookie, but I had to find out if my favourite thing of all time-duck fat, could be used for sweet treat baking. I tried to make this treat as less unhealthy as possible. Let’s face it, there’s no such a thing as a healthy dessert.
