I have memories of making a recipe for squares obsessively when I was a kid. I remember that they had butterscotch chips and nuts. I loved the squares, and I made them whenever I was allowed to.

Rum Punch: A Taste of the Tropics
Since travel to warmer parts of the world is off the table right now, I thought I would bring a little piece of the tropics to me.
I mixed pineapple nectar, grenadine, lime juice and white rum to create this lovely drink. I made a large batch and am keeping it chilled in my fridge. Given the chilly weather outside right now, ice cubes seemed inappropriate. I do love the whimsy of this glassware, though. It certainly elevates this drink a little.
Omelette with Mushrooms, Caramelized Onions and Cheese
I just made this omelette and it was incredibly tasty. Its execution was far from technically perfect (I should have used a different pan), but my mouth couldn’t tell the difference.
I had some leftover mushrooms that had been fried in butter with garlic, salt and pepper and some leftover caramelized onions. I also had already grated pecorino romano, so with very little effort today, I got to both gain fridge space and eat a fantastic breakfast. Win-win.
Roast Duck with Spicy Marmalade Sauce
There are certain activities that help keep me sane—such as walking, reading, taking photos, writing—and during the pandemic, I have been trying to make them a priority. One of these activities has always been creative cooking—me, in the kitchen, experimenting away. This blog was born purely so I could blend cooking, photography and writing all together.

This was a fantastic meal I made recently. I used thai green curry paste and coconut milk to make a delicious sauce. The curry featured chicken, green peas, green onions and zucchini. It was spicy and infused the rice with flavour. I will definitely make this again soon.
Kofta Kebabs
Another delicious meal! I made kofta kebabs earlier this week and they tasted amazing. Here they are paired with Greek potatoes (cooked slowly in a bath of broth, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and oregano) and store-bought dips—tzatziki and baba ganoush. What a feast!
Continue readingPepperoni Pizza!
I had been craving pepperoni pizza for a while now, but could never find gluten-free pepperoni when I remembered to look for it. Then I finally found some made by Piller’s. I used it to make this pepperoni, jalapeno and onion pizza.

I had an amazing meal today. My goal was to finish up the last bit of kimchi in the fridge.
Lemon Curd
This is what I just had for breakfast. Pound cake with a generous helping of lemon curd, along with a cup of tea. Delicious.
The lemon curd is easy to make. It’s a microwave recipe that is simple and fast. All you need is butter, lemons, sugar and eggs.
You can eat the lemon curd on toast, cake, pancakes, cookies, ice cream, with cooked fruit or, of course, by the spoonful.
