Leftover whipped cream, but no pie?? I made this lemon poppyseed poundcake eons ago – it calls for whipped cream instead of butter or oil – and pull it out on the regular when I wind up with a bowl of whipped cream in the fridge. Recipe on my website!

Dinner: smash roasted squash with ricotta (about equal parts) and add a drizzle of maple syrup, if you like. Fill wonton wrappers to make ravioli or tortellini, boil 5 minutes, douse in browned butter + walnuts.

I love a bowl of chunky pasta. And I love having a batch of roasted squash in the fridge ready to go. As the pasta cooks, cook an onion, or a few chopped strips of bacon, or a sausage squeezed from its casing (or nothing), and warm the squash cubes along with it. Add the pasta to the skillet along with a pour of cream, lots of Parmesan and pepper. I tore in some kale too, and topped the bowls…

I love all the fab stories and life highlights and well-constructed collections of words I stumble upon while staring at the computer in an attempt to shake something loose from my own brain. And I think-dammit, why can’t I be more like her/them/him?? And then I try to remember that if I was, I wouldn’t be like me. That’s one thing we all have going for us. (Sometimes-ok, often-I have to talk to…

I had forgotten how much I love a Parker House roll until Angela reminded me… they’re slightly sweet, rich and buttery, and built like little pockets-perfect for making sandwiches. Making these again this weekend! Will post an updated recipe ASAP!

That time this summer when they both actually POSED for a photo instead of running away when they sensed the camera pointing at them. (And both of them smiled!) 💕

I have a few events coming up this weekend! The book launch at the Cookbook Company this Thursday is sold out, but I’ll be at the 25 best things to eat pop up market at the Inglewood community hall on Saturday morning from 10 till 12, and Andy is letting me take over Cafe Gravity this Sunday from 6-8! I’ll make some snacks from the book, have piles of copies (yes, the funky-spined ones!!) and…

It’s not all sticky buns and Eton mess! I was inspired years ago by Gabrielle Hamilton’s chowder soaked toast, and now soup-soaked cheese toast is one of my favourite things. It’s like reverse French onion soup- thick, cheesy toast in the bottom of the bowl with tomato soup ladled overtop… it soaks into and softens the bread, which you can then eat with a spoon. SO GOOD. It’s an idea you can…

I’d like to thank my personal assistant Louie, who has been working like a dog through this whole book process. ❤️

Can’t seem to get enough tomato tarts. Still using up my stash of arugula pesto, but a thick smear of ricotta or a thin one of olive tapenade would also be delish.

Hawkins Cheezies have been made in the same factory in Belleville, Ontario since 1956… the company only makes one product, and has never advertised. (And this one time it was my in-flight snack on a 1960 jet plane.)

Aaaah!! I’m in Toronto for some food events this weekend, including Canada’s Table tomorrow at Fort York, and look what I came across… they used the Dirty Food back cover photo by the amazing @jeremyfokkens (which some people really thought I shouldn’t use on the book, but I did anyway) on the posters.

I have the first copies of in hand, and thousands are being prepped to ship or already en route! Here’s a sneak peek of the centrefold by the amazing and supremely talented @jeremyfokkens -yes, I’m finally a centrefold!

Carrot cake whoopie pies are the best ratio of cake to cream cheese frosting, and there’s no need for a plate and fork. I made these out Canada’s baking and Sweets show yesterday in Toronto. Recipe link in my profile!
