I love salmon. My favourite way of eating salmon is raw, as in sashimi. Next it's a close tie between lox and marinaded before grilling. A couple of days ago we went to the store and found these huge whole salmon fillets. They looked like the fish monger had just prepared them, the colour and texture was perfect! Immediately I knew that they were not only coming home with me, but how I was going to prepare them. I don't know why but when I am eating cooked salmon I like it to have a ... read more

Turmeric and Vegetable Millet: Gluten Free Side Dish
I've grown bored with winter and am ready to move on to spring. Unfortunately, for us in the Northern Hemisphere spring doesn't officially begin until the 20th of March.

Ever wondered why many curries have a dark orangy-yellow color? Why is American mustard so yellow, or how commercial chicken broth gets a its yellow tint? Turmeric.

They actually look pretty much the same on the outside until you cut into it and see the ginger is a very light yellow and Turmeric is a vibrant orange color with a hint of yellow.

The Easiest and Quickest Way to Peel Ginger
I love the taste and smell of fresh ginger root, don't you? It is an ingredient I always have in my fridge so that when the craving for thai curry or lemon-ginger tea hits me I can quickly get it on the stove. Yes, one could also use dried or ginger powder, but you'd be missing so much flavour. The fresh root packs an intense taste that is spicy and citrus-y, and quite nutritious too. The only downside of working with fresh ginger is that many recipes require that it be peeled before using. ... read more

How To Get Many Meals From One Roasted Chicken
A whole roasted chicken is a much loved and requested meal in this house. Being that it is I who is in charge of roasting the bird, the request is always welcomed. For me the meal involves 6 simple steps: I turn on the oven, mix up the herbs and spices, rub them on the chicken, place the chicken in the oven, wait for it to roast, and lastly serve it. (I usually stick to simple side-dishes to keep the process simple.) This meal is one that takes minimal effort, clean-up, and little attention is ... read more

Soups and stews are comfort food. To me, it really does not matter if they are meat based or vegetable only, I won't turn down a bowl. Soups, and stews, can be made with an elaborate amount of ingredients or they can be thrown together with whatever refrigerator scraps need to be used up. Preparing a pot requires minimal effort and clean up. A bowl keeps you warm and content on a cold winter day or on a rainy night. "Evidence of the existence of soup can be found as far back as about 20,000 ... read more
