It's that time of year again. Fall is just around the corner which means cozy socks and warm, comforting soups and stews. There's something about having great smelling food coming from the kitchen. It always makes me feel good. Now just because we're talking slow cooking doesn't mean it has to take alot of effort. Totally the opposite actually. Low and slow means you let the heat do the work and y...

Stop eating sh%t you hate!

One of the great thing about humans is that we're all made just a little bit different. We show our uniqueness with how we dress, what we do with our time and yes even our food tastes. There's so many foods out there that society is pressuring us to eat regardless of whether we actually like it or not. Let’s take beloved kale as an example. It’s been one of those foods ...

Remember everybody responds differently to food and it's likely your choices will change over time. Guess what? That's okay! None of us should ever feel fearful or...

I love this point of the summer. The days are hot and the farmer's market is overflowing with amazing goodies. Apricots being of of my favourites. I love their sweet flavour and soft texture. Even better that they go well in something sweet and stand up really well alongside chicken grilled on the BBQ. 

Galettes are one of my favourite things to make right now because they really are minimal effo...

It’s summertime and living is easy. I don’t know about you but when summer hits, I’m much more interested in soaking up the heat from the sunshine rather than at the stove. 

Don’t get me wrong, I love cooking and do think about food ALOT (occupational hazard), but when it’s hot out I’m always looking for ways to beat the heat of the kitchen and without sacrificing flavour or good nutrition.
