Woodward’s Dark Fruitcake
My long time friend, The Reverend Dr. Eileen M. Conway, often posts her culinary adventures on Facebook. One day she mentioned “Woodward’s Dark Fruitcake”, and that piqued my interest. I had an instant flood of memories of my Mom, who was a dedicated Woodward’s customer an...

Mary Berry’s Malay Rice
I became a huge fan of Mary Berry when I was introduced to her on the Great British Baking show, when she and Paul Hollywood were judges. More recently, we enjoyed her shows available on those channels you buy by monthly subscription. In particular, Mary Berry Classics. Most food shows I watch, I...

Cookie Crumbs – A Review
A visit to Bountiful Market in Edmonton is a joy. It’s spacious, it’s fun, and the vendors are all eager to help. In pre-COVID19 days, the vendors were very generous with samples. Bountiful Market has become more and more popular as the months pass by. It has become our favourite mark...

Coffee (in isolation)
For some, coffee is what gets them up in the morning. I cannot deny the smell of coffee first thing in the morning is one of the most motivating of aromas. To raise it to a level of the sublime, have coffee perked outdoors over an open fire. Now that conjures up images of days... Read More

Coconut Lentil Curry
Not sure if COVID-19 has stopped the May celebration of lentils, but I won’t let it stop me. The following recipe’s name should be something along the lines of Cathy’s Coconut Lentil Curry Recipe Modified from Keith’s Recipe who Modified it from the Endless Meal’s We...

It’s been 25 days since the World Health Organization declared the coronovirus outbreak a worldwide pandemic. Michael and I have been following the recommendations and staying indoors and away from people as much as possible, only making necessary outdoor excursions to buy groceries, medica...

Beef Bourguignon – A Less Fiddly, but Equally Delicious Stew
Beef Bourguignon is a delicious, traditional French stew that involves many steps if you listen to Julia Child. One of the reasons French cuisine tastes so good, I believe, is because it builds tension and suspense as you wait for the food to be prepared and cooked. My simplified version still ta...

Fairmont Hotels and it’s Boozy new Cocktail Menu
Looking at the promo email sent to me, I feel I should have a few drinks under my belt and a bit of uninhibited slurred speech to write this post. Instead, it’s Monday morning, I’m sipping tea and anticipating a day of work ahead of me. But before I do so, I thought I’d take... ...

Sublime Summer Supper
This was a recuperation weekend, a weekend to relax and just do whatever sort of presented itself at the time. My only planned events were to complete a 500 piece puzzle and run some errands. Michael went down to Calgary to spend time with his sister and help around the home with those maintenanc...

Lasagna
If you are here for a lasagna recipe, I’ll give that to you right now. But nothing is for free, so you have say, “Thank you Helen” (at least in your head), to pay homage to my Mom who made this as we were growing up. I helped her make this once, and felt nostalgic... Read More

This past week I was talking with my Auntie about an old sausage recipe my parents used to make every winter. It was popular through the late 1980’s.....

Square Season
I’ve got the baking bug. Perhaps the result of months of watching the Great British Baking Show, the Great Canadian Baking Show and the Great American Baking Show. Watching nice people bake nice things and saying nice supportive things to each other has warmed my heart and given me the enco...

Ted Ngoy, The Donut King
Last month a publishing company sent out the usual distribution email offering a copy of the book “The Donut King”. I was intrigued by the remarkable sounding rags to riches life story of Ted Ngoy. I asked for a copy and it was promptly sent and received. It’s a small book, 169 pages long. It... ...

Marmalade and Woodward’s
The internet continues to vex me. After having a simple but delicious slice of hot, buttery toast and marmalade that my sister-in-law made using Ma Made Marmalade, I had to Google search “marmalade” because suddenly I needed to know EVERYTHING about marmalade. This makes a delicious m...
