of the recipes are quick, but there are some pretty good gems in there. I also have made several items out of Barefoot Contessas Home Cooking book – great recipe for tuna with a mango chutney that I served with a box of...

How about anny's dairy bar in New West? She is from Montreal, she sells cheese curds (if you want to make your own) it is at 722 6th St. the poutine is really tasty!

, and you won’t have the mess of cooking them on the stove along with everything else. Alternatively, you could lightly flour, pan fry in butter, then finish in th sauce. that might be better if you only had one sauce.....

Mmmmmmmmm......artichokes........ Oh, sorry. Try dunking them in a low-fat vinaigrette. Or any low-fat dressing for that matter. There are actually some decent bottled ones — Annie's or Blanchard and Blanchard, for example.

into a ball, but it only crumbled into bits. Tried again, no dice. Threw out the whole mess and started over. This time, I was overcautious, so the cream was too cool. I put the mixture over a pan of gently simmering water for a...

of things you won’t necessarily see on other menus. The Ivory Tower in Cork is also well worth a visit. I found this article about Cork food, it mentions a number of places west of Kinsale that I have heard really good...

I am a complete, utter mess when it comes to planning, so I thought it would be interesting to present the contents of my fridge/pantry/potato drawer to you and see what you guys would do with it. (Note: there isn’t too...

to the top of each divet and Viola! A horrible, horibble mess! They stuck like crazy, then burned! By the third ruined batch, I was about to pull out my hair in frustration. Off I go, to search the internet. Of course, the darn...
