Respect the ratio! Those are pretty strong words…and words that I think go a long way when it comes to crepes. Aside from sounding cool when you string them together, the meat of that statement really gets down to the ratio of eggs:milk:flour in this recipe (coming up below). If you do adhere to this, [...]
Aioli sounds like a complicated thing…but it isn’t. Trust me. At the heart of it…it is typically a paste-like cold sauce native to Spain, especially Catalonia and Valencia. You’ll most likely find it with olive oil and garlic as a base, which leaves the rest to your imagination. My favourite part! Starting with an egg [...]
If you’re foodie, or happen to be passionate about meat, you probably have heard of Dario Cecchini, the butcher of Panzano. If you have no idea about any of this, here’s why I’m writing this post – Dario happens to be one of Italy’s most famous butchers (so says Jamie Oliver). And when I was [...]
The B-52′s knew what they were talking about, let me tell you! I first came across these bad boys of the Bahamas, also known as Rock Lobster or Crayfish, when I was working in Bermuda. And I as quickly realized back then, and still feel today, they are definitely one of the best lobsters to use [...]
Marketing makes the world go ’round, huh? That’s what some might say. Just ask a Sablefish…I think they’d agree with me on this one. Formerly known as ‘Black Cod’, this meaty and succulent poisson had its name switched in North America as fishermen were having a tough go at slogging them around. Enter a sexy, [...]

Where this all starts is probably somewhere you’ve already been if you’ve ever used herbs in the kitchen. Sound familiar to you? – you’ve bought some chives or parsley [...]

From time-to-time, I will feature a series of posts that highlight a specific region or culture that truly moved me as an individual and as a chef. In this series of posts, [...]

I’m a person who appreciates good information, especially if that information has to do with food. I also am someone who likes to challenge ‘kitchen myths’; here’s one for you to chew on: Throw away any mussels that refuse to open. The myth seems to have been started by the English food writer, Jane Grigson in [...]
