Grilled Cheese Sandwich Recipe with Brie, Pear & Hazelnuts

Nov 5, 2012

There’s nothing quite as comforting as a grilled cheese sandwich on a cold day. This vegetarian version pairs gooey, melted Brie cheese with sweet pears, toasted hazelnuts and arugula. Whenever I make a grilled cheese sandwich, I get a sudden craving for a bowl of soup, preferably tomato. This certainly is born straight from the [...]

Lunchtime Quesadilla Recipe with Smoked Turkey, Apples, Havarti Cheese & Arugula

Sep 12, 2012

When I was a kid, I couldn’t stand munching away on a whole apple. Apple slices, lovingly cored and seeded by my mum, always tasted far better to me. It’s funny that my eldest son is the same, even though he now sees me happily munching away on whole crisp apples each autumn. Luckily, we [...]

Roasted Tomato Sandwich Recipe with Goat Cheese & Balsamic Syrup

Aug 15, 2012

There’s a reason why there are festivals and parties dedicated to the tomato.

Mar 7, 2012

Sandwiches take me right back to my childhood. Growing up in Vancouver, sunny days were not as plentiful as we may have wished. When the sun broke through the clouds, Vancouverites streamed outdoors like ants headed towards the first summer picnic.

Chicken Pinwheel Sandwich Recipe with Roasted Red Pepper, Kalamata Olives & Herb Yogurt

Feb 3, 2012

“Mum, will you teach me to make that before I go to college?” asked my 10 year old son. I think it was potstickers. The frozen kind. Yes, I’m pretty sure we can master that over the next seven or eight years. A couple of days later, he was deep in thought and I asked, [...]

Jan 2, 2012

Typically at this time of year I am lamenting my jeans’ unwillingness to cooperate with my waistline. This year things are a little different.
