To All the Meals I've Cooked Before
An open love letter to all the meals I've lovingly prepared and enjoyed
I think this is my favourite soup I’ve ever made (and that’s saying something, because I really love my Creamy Mushroom Kale Soup!) The texture and flavours of the mushrooms, thyme and roasted cauliflower compliment each other so well. It’s rich without being too heavy. It’s the perfect soup to have with a crusty piece…
I love making stir fry for a quick midweek dinner, and this spicy udon has quickly become a regular go-to for me. I don't typically love ground pork because I find it can be a bit dry, but in this recipe it soaks up all the spicy goodness and blends wonderfully with the pillowy udons and tender Napa cabbage. This recipe was originally inspired by Bon Appetit's Better Than Takeout Udon recipe, but I made a few variations to suit my tastes (ie. adding gochujang for a more complex, spicy flavour) and now I can't imagine ever going back to the original version without spice!
I've been trying to make at least two meatless meals per week, and it felt like the perfect excuse to recreate this iconic Toronto dish at home. I wanted to use *slightly* less rich ingredients so that the dish would be less indulgent to enjoy at home, so I cut back on the heavy cream and butter and subbed in half and half cream and just a few table spoons of butter. You can change up the ratios if you want the sauce to be more or less creamy, but the real key to this dish is mushrooms, and a lot of them. You can sub in any you prefer, but I really love the meaty texture and deep colour of portobellos and creminis.
