Web Chef Review: Rancourt Winery 2012 Malbec

There are only three producers of a single varietal Malbec wine in Niagara area – using only one type of grape in their wine and in this case, it is Malbec. Malbec is similar to a beaujolais or pinot noir, except it is lighter in color and fruitier. A beautiful...

How to Cook Boxty: St. Patrick’s Day Recipes

Boxty is a traditional Irish recipe for a potato pancake containing both mashed and grated potatoes, giving you the experience of both pancake & hash browns in one. What a good choice for breakfast or supper! It goes well with many other ethnic cuisines as well. I think it would be delicious with smoked salmon, in place of other kinds of pancakes like crepes or blini, served with sour cream or creme fraiche. Salmon is one of the...

For the Love of Celery

We don’t often think of Celery as a versatile food, but the tender leaves are lovely used in nearly all savory foods – either fresh or dried. Celery salt is actually powdered, tender celery leaves combined with salt. Celery seeds used for flavor are the seeds of wild celery, which is grown specially for the seeds, which are intense in flavor, and should be sparingly used in bouillon, stocks, pickles, seafood dishes &...

How to Cook Brown Rice with Lentils: Cupboard Cooking

Today is Day 3 of our One Month Grocery Shopping Strike.  This is what I made as a side dish for tonight’s dinner using my “cupboard cooking” strategies. This went with my Coconut Crusted Baked Salmon and peas with toasted coconut. The reason I combined the lentils with the brown rice is to make a complete protein. It’s very difficult to get my mother to eat meat of any kind. She just doesn’t feel like it much. So,...
