Get your foodie on!
I’ve been more than a little bit bored with your regular mustard and relish type condiments on my burger these last few months, which has led me to try out some new things. Last Summer I started using store bought corn relish. Tired even of that, I decided to step it up a notch with [...]
So you’ve taken the jump and made your own fish and chips. You weren’t just going to use some old packets of tartar sauce that have been floating around in a drawer for the past few years were you? Of course not, you are going to make your own.
Whether you are making burgers, fish and chips or even Steak Frites, one of the key elements is of course the potato. While the frozen ones that you stuff in the oven aren’t too bad, they just don’t cut it if you care enough to fry your own fish. The secret to the allure of [...]
Fish and chips are one of those comfort foods that we all love, even those of us who aren’t really interested in seafood.

Yesterday I decided that our killer soft flour tortillas were too good to waste on store bought taco/fajita spices, so I set out to do some research. I learned a bunch about [...]
Those of you who are regular readers have no doubt noticed that I’ve been on a bit of a baking kick lately. Sandy doesn’t bake and my attempts years ago failed miserably, so we just never got into the baking side of food prep. All that changed when OoS convinced me to try making pizza [...]
Our youngest bought his dad (G) an Indian cook book for Christmas. He’s not very adventurous when it comes to food but he does like Butter Chicken. I actually encouraged him to buy the book because I wanted it (but no one need know this!). After cooking a bunch of main stream food for New [...]
Since I’ve discovered baking lately, I’ve been revisiting some of the simpler pleasures here in the FAB Whitby kitchen to see if we can recreate them ourselves.
