I never remember how I make a recipe anymore. I’m definitely becoming my mother in a round about sort of way. I am usually a recipe follower, and technically I still am, whereas my mother is an amazing improvizational cook. In any case, for my pies I mix recipes because I have a favourite pie…

Whiskey Guide: Behind the Bar
(A copy of The North American Whiskey Guide from Behind the Bar was sent to me for review. As always all opinions are my own.) I never found myself behind the bar, well except for once serving drinks at a party hosted by my dorm, Royal Victoria College, at McGill and I don’t remember pouring too…
Recipes Gather Here
I am not one to get hung up on my age or aging. But there is something that is really beginning to bug me. It is not the grey hairs unveiling themselves upon my head. It’s not the odd aches I get on a rainy day. It is not the fact that I have to…

This is so yummy!
Last night I made a roasted chicken (http://www.onceuponachef.com/2011/01/the-family-dinner.html). I’ve made roasted chicken before not very often but often enough.

I’ve been searching for recipes from my Bon Appetit and Gourmet magazines and cooking online with…
