The first time I had this dish (in a dingy, basement restaurant) in Edmonton, I wasn’t quite sure how to eat it. I didn’t know then that the best way to enjoy the big bowl of noodles was to pour the dressing over the noodles, dig into the bowl with chopsticks and toss the vegetables …

When I think of Montreal (Canada), I think of family, French and…amazing Vietnamese food. I have very fond memories of eating in tiny family-run Vietnamese restaurants that serve nothing but pho - a tantalizingly aromatic soup seasoned with star anise and caramelized onion and filled with rice noodles, mint, basil and a tasty assortment of beef …

So…hello again! Here is my first post in AGES – and it’s for a recipe that may not look very pretty! But monggo (or mung bean stew) is a classic Filipino dish that is one of my favourite comfort foods. When made well, it’s thick and creamy with hints of smoky flavour from smoked pork, …

My husband asked me to bake some cookies for his work colleagues this week – an excuse to bake?! I was only too happy to oblige. These deliciously crispy oatmeal cookies dipped in chocolate were the result. And since he didn’t bring any back home, I can only assume they were popular! Though I love …

Yes, it’s been a while. The Christmas holidays were a whirlwind affair of parties and trips – not that I’m complaining. But now that it’s all over and done with, my clothes seem suspiciously tight. So in honour of all those attempting New Year diet adjustments, here is my first recipe of the year: spinach …

This is one of my favourite recipes for two reasons. First, there is an inverse relationship between how good it tastes and how easy it is – it is one of the easiest recipes in my arsenal but also one that is always a hit with friends. And second, my good friend April who moved …

These mini-tarts were a smash hit at a recent luncheon we hosted at our house. It was a fantastic boost to my self-esteem to watch each tart disappear one by one. The star of these treats is the tangy but sweet custard filling which is complimented by fresh berries and a sweet glaze. I used …

Lemon curd may not sound very nice, but it is delicious! It’s a creamy, velvety-smooth custard that works well as a cake filling, tart filling or on toast or a scone. I’ve poured it over a vanilla and strawberry sponge cake, used it to fill fruit tarts and had it on the table alongside a …

This is an easy, no fuss version of the Italian classic, Spaghetti Carbonara. I really like this recipe because it tastes authentic – but it takes less than half an hour to make! The first time I had this wonderful pasta dish was in Rome. It was the hottest part of August in Italy, and …

This is my go-to recipe when I need to make a tasty meal but don’t have a lot of time to peel, chop, and fry in stages. It’s usually a dish I make on Saturdays when our house is full of friends and fun – and I don’t want to disappear into the kitchen for …

This is a favourite of our many house guests: tocino, Filipino-style bacon. Filipino breakfasts are amazing. There are few meals I love more than a good plate of garlic fried rice, fried eggs and sweet buns (pandesal) with one or more of the following Filipino breakfast meats: Filipino sausage (longanisa), Filipino bacon (tocino), Filipino breakfast …

Pad Thai is amazing. It’s delicious. Sweet, salty and sour all at once, it’s been a longstanding favourite of ours. We tend to be quite picky as well; we prefer the home-cooked variety of Pad Thai that is only found in independent, small family-run restaurants (rather than chic but westernized versions in larger, slickly decorated …
