A makeover

Hi all,
As you can see, the blog is undergoing a bit of a makeover. I’m still fiddling around with all this stuff (OK, Jason mostly is. Bless his heart.) so please bear with us. Feel free to leave a comment if you have any suggestions, feedback etc. I know the photos and layout on some [...]

Cookbook for Haiti aid

An amazing project, led by Calgary’s Julie van Rosendaal, sprung up in the aftermath of Haiti’s devastating earthquake.

After much hard work and help from 27 other food bloggers from around the world, Blog Aid: Recipes for Haiti, is now available for purchase.

The paperback is $25 and the hardcover is $50. All proceeds will support [...]

Chinese wedding tea ceremony

I finally have some time to go through the amazing photos from our Vancouver wedding reception taken by Gracci and Rico, who run Pelaez Photography. The photos below are their fine work.

A Chinese wedding tea ceremony can be a way to honour your elders, and to welcome the bride and groom into the [...]

A roast beef rant

I fully believe the only saving grace to buffets are carving stations, where they have a big juicy roast beef with a decent gravy and an endless bowl of horseradish.

This year’s Menu for Hope has kicked off [...]

Bitchin’ Kitchen cookbook giveaway

(This giveaway contest is sponsored by Bitchin’ Kitchen.)

Sweet-faced Jamie Oliver and domestic Martha Stewart pale in comparison to Nadia G.’s bombastic, finger-pointing delivery, bosom-hugging dresses, and sailor-worthy vocabulary.

The Montreal-based comedienne is set to blast onto your TV this spring with the Bitchin’ Kitchen series on the Food Network.

She already has a cookbook out [...]

CANADA: Localicious by the WWF

WWF-Canada (the World Wildlife Foundation; not to be confused with the former World Wrestling Federation) is launching a new campaign to promote local and sustainable foods.

The focus of Localicious is to get Canadians to choose locally harvested foods over items that may have travelled an average of 2,000 kilometres to your plate.

Packaging, shipping and [...]
