I received this e-mail today, and I thought it was a great question! “Hey Cat. I’ve been experimenting with making things I would usually buy prepared – such as pasta sauce, hummus, pesto, etc. – myself at home. Many soup recipes call for some sort of broth, which I have been buying in cartons at [...]
Catch me on Rogers Cable 20 “Inside Guelph” tomorrow, February 24th at noon, where I’ll be talking to Trish Stevenson about the fine art of food blogging. It’s kind of funny, I’ve been blogging for more than 5 years now, and this evening, I was asking my husband what type of questions he thinks she’ll [...]
What a fun time on BT! The day began very early, as we had to be in the studio at 6 a.m.! As I was preparing the food for the show, staff came over and introduced themselves, as I chopped, peeled and prepped. They also helped themselves to the goodies I brought – a HUGE [...]

I had a really difficult time choosing my winners this time around. For starters, the submissions were excellent! Nearly all of them sounded (and looked) absolutely delicious, and it was so hard to choose winners, so, this time what I have done, is awarded my first, second and third, and I will name some favorite [...]
Growing up in small-town Ontario, there was very little opportunity for me as a youngster to try a variety of ethnic foods. There were less than 3 grocery stores in my home town, and meat and potatoes were pretty much the staple meal in our home, and the homes of all my relatives and peers. [...]
Wow, what a busy couple of days! I may in fact *be* Super Woman! Today (with both kids in tow) I single-handedly indexed The Cat Can Cook Book! Up until very recently, I honestly didn’t see an index as a necessity for my particular cook book, but in speaking with others in the cook book [...]
Because I love to cook so much, and have gotten better and better at cooking over the years, I really *expect* that when I go out to eat, that the food is good – no, not passable, not so-so, not okay, but GOOD! I always say, that if the food I go out to eat [...]
