Your new design is wonderful! Everything is so easy to find and easy to read. Do you have contact information for your designer other than Twitter? Perhaps an email address. My blog needs help
Thanks so much!
Hi Tricia,
Thanks so much for your comments. The designer gave me permission to put her email address up here. Her name is Christy Broxton and you can reach her at broxton@comcast.net. She is fabulous to work with.
Right on Cookin Canuck! Your new website looks fabulous! It’s fun to watch you “grow”! Love your recipes! See you soon.
Love,Karen
Thanks so much, Karen! I’m looking forward to seeing you.
Hey Dara,
The new blog is beautiful! I love the design, particularly your recipe index.
Congratulations!
Pam
Thank you, dear aunt. I’m very happy with the features. The designer did a wonderful job!
Hi Dara
love your new site, it really came out well…I am ready for a change myself, what format did you go to? I wasn’t sure if this is wordpress.
I did see your designers info I will reach out to her.
Cheers
Dennis
Yes, this is Wordpress, using the Thesis template. Christy Broxton is fantastic to work with. I highly recommend contacting her.
It looks great! But I am getting color ads on the ‘printable’ recipes – I hope that is a temporary glitch!
Hi Lauren,
Thanks for letting me know. I am working on moving them back to text ads only.
Hi Dara, I just got an ice cream maker, the kind for lazy people like me that plugs in and does all the hard work. I’m doing chemotherapy for hepatic bile duct cancer and quite often have no appetite and mouth sores from the chemo. Ice cream is usually the least offensive thing I can eat when this happens.
So far I’ve made a basic vanilla that will get dumped into the machine in a few hours from now when I take the premier plunge. I’m looking for interesting and tasty recipes that won’t take too much prep work (making a custard base would take a tad more stamina than I have at the moment) and you’re the one I trust with the how-to and the know-how! Can you point me in the right direction?
Many thanks,
lane
What is the current lens that you use?
Abby, I use a Canon 50mm/1.4. It is a fantastic lens and one recommended to me by many food bloggers.
So very NICE to finally come across a Canadian cooking site, there are millions out there, and I love to cook, but don’t seem to find many Canandian ones with the ingredients we can find etc. Very happy I found you.

Dara,
I absolutely love pesto. Your recipe for the Red Pepper-Cilantro Pesto is A-MA-ZING! I’ve found so many uses for it and I don’t think it will ever end. I’ve “invented” or add onto what you’ve done by making mine spicy (Me + Spicy = Love). I add a Serrano pepper to the recipe and I kid you not, Heaven must be like the sauce because I could die in the moment while eating it on my various sandwiches I put it on and be happy.
Keep coming up with these wonderful recipes.

I’ve lurked here far too long. Love your site and wanted to send you a Lovely Blog Award. I was sent one by a fellow blogger not too long ago and her comments made me realize others were reading and enjoying my recipes. So here’s to you, a fellow Canuck and keep on going. (ps. I used to live in UT as well, know the heat well.)
Thanx for the answer to my question, I happen to be a guy that is very leary of propane, yet love to camp etc. I had always turned the gas at least a few if not more turns, because I thought I was suppose to, I tried mine with a full turn, a turn and a half satisfied me flame wise. Thanx for helping the others like us. Wonder if there is a syndrome ? LOL

Hi ! am surfing for puff pastry info, and your lemon twists sound and look totally delightful!! thank you. btw what brand of puff pastry did you use?
thank you for your answer.
Hi Dara,
I’m sitting in Mexico reading your recipes and listening to the waves and to the sound of a clairinet, no lesss, wafting in the distance. There’s a full moon and a sky full of stars.
To say I am awed by you efforts would be an understatement! Keep up the amazing work, Dara.
Love you. Sam xox
