The delicious and fragrant flavours in this vegetarian soup were created from some of my favorite backyard plants – every year I enjoy my beautiful gardens where I grow parsley, rosemary, thyme, oregano, cilantro, chives, sage, lovage, garlic…etc. but this year we had a surprise plant sprout up – a pumpkin! While it has taken [...]
Okay, so I’m not Italian, but I really LOVE Italian food! Rich pasta sauces, fresh ingredients, fabulous herbs and of course lots of garlic! These are all the makings of great recipes.

This recipe was sent to me by a new-found-foodie-friend in the States! It sounds delicious, and I can’t wait to try it – I’ve really not been cooking much this week (strange, I know) and largely it’s due to the fact that I am on a rather restrictive diet, which frankly is cramping my culinary [...]
I’m always picking up cookbooks here and there – it’s just one of those things I do. At the bookstore, the cooking section is usually where I can be found (well, there or the arts and crafts section…oh ya, or the kids section!)

I decided today that due to the cold and snowy weather out there, it was the perfect time to make some hot homemade soup. After a huge potato sale at Zehrs the other day, I had 20 pounds of potatoes in my kitchen waiting to be used up. Granted, I didn’t use the entire 20 [...]
