To All the Meals I've Cooked Before
An open love letter to all the meals I've lovingly prepared and enjoyed
To All the Boys: Always and Forever officially arrives on Netflix today, and *of course* I had to bake a signature Lara Jean recipe to celebrate! I can't host an in-person viewing party this year, but I plan on dropping these off to my friends so that we can all eat and enjoy them as…
Lately I’m really trying to make dinner recipes that feel special. Now that I’m cooking pretty much every meal at home throughout quarantine, it’s so easy to make the same pantry meals on autopilot without putting any creativity into it. Even as someone who loves cooking, the monotony is cooking every single meal, every single…

One of my food goals for 2020 is to cook with more sustainable seafood to a) get out of my comfort zone in the kitchen and b) eat a more sustainable diet (because the planet is burning, you guys!) This Mussel Linguine is a direct result of that goal, and I’m *so* happy with how…

I saw the movie Parasite a couple weeks ago, and it was one of those movies that really stuck with me. I kept replaying certain scenes in my head - in particular, the glorious ram-don scene. The high-low contrast between the cheap packet of noodles and the expensive top sirloin was such a brilliant way…
I have a steady rotation of soups that I make all winter long, and this soup is a new addition that I can’t get enough of. It’s loaded up with veggies and quinoa, so it’s healthy but still satisfying, and it has a nice kick from the paprika and sausage spice. A note on the…
Eggplant is one of my latest cooking obsessions. I’ve been trying to eat less meat in 2020, and as a result I’ve been exploring more veggies to change things up for my weeknight meals. Prior to this recipe, I’d only ever used globe eggplant (aka American eggplant), and I didn’t realize how many different varieties…
When I was living in Munich a couple years ago with my best friends, there was an Asian restaurant below our studio apartment that had the *best* Thai red curry. I wasn't big into cooking back then, so pretty much every single night that we were home, we'd pop downstairs to pick up an order…
Kimchi Jigae, aka Kimchi Stew, is one of my all-time favourite comfort foods when it’s cold outside. I love going to Buk Chang Dong Soon Tofu in Toronto for their big steaming bowls of stew, and this recipe is my at-home take on their kimchi stew with ingredients readily available at my local grocery store.…
Is it a pizza? Is it a naan? Is it a flatbread? I'm inclined to think it's a delicious combination of all three. I love ordering lamb pizza whenever I see it on a menu, but it's hard to come by, so I decided to create my own lazy version at home. I classify it…
This recipe is inspired by my favourite Mushroom Kale Soup from Farm Boy (basically the Canadian equivalent of Trader Joe's). I tried it one day while I was grocery shopping, and have been hooked ever since! After examining the ingredient list, I came up with this dupe recipe to make at home in a nice,…
