Asian Quesadilla with Chicken, Zucchini & Hoisin Sauce Recipe

Mar 19, 2012

Rice Noodle Salad with Endive, Shrimp & Soy-Ginger Dressing Recipe

Jan 9, 2012

Belgian endive, as the name suggests, was first a product of Belgium (though there are now many growers in North America).

Flank Steak, Sweet Potato Noodle & Vegetable Spring Roll Recipe

Aug 6, 2010

When I was about 10 years old, my mum would drive my best friend and me down to Granville Island each week. Granville Island is not technically an island (though some may argue this point), but it sounds quainter, so we will let that slide.

Spicy Asian Slaw Recipe with Napa Cabbage, Carrots & Ginger Dressing

Feb 24, 2010

Steer clear of the cole slaw! That has always been my motto at summer barbecues.

I genuinely look forward to an afternoon on the couch, watching some bone-crunching tackles and the finesse of a well-tuned offense. It’s not just the gratuitous snuggle time [...]
