Whether it’s part of an Easter brunch, a casual lunch or a light dinner, asparagus frittata with smoked salmon is simple to make, a perfect make-ahead meal that whispers spring has arrived. Asiago cheese & asparagus frittata is topped with wafer-thin slices of smoked salmon & a creamy caper, lemon & horseradish sauce. The results […]
Simple to make all in one pan Creamy Tarragon Mustard Chicken is a version of the French classic poulet a l’estragon (though the French recipe uses chicken breasts). Creamy, decadent, flavourful yet easy & (virtually) foolproof. Comforting, this is a bit of a reminder of old-school cooking. Tarragon has a subtle anise flavor. If you […]
When you want to get breakfast made as efficiently as possible, Berry Pancake Bake is your answer. Pancakes aren’t particularly difficult once you’re past the first initial one or two that never seem to quite make the team & need to be eaten stove side as you’re cooking the remaining pancake batter which you hope […]
While many of us are still facing the winter chills, I want to share a bright & sunshiny recipe to speak to warmer days ahead.

Potato Leek Soup is a French classic. Simple ingredients become velvety-smooth & flavorful. A brief puree is all that’s needed to bring it together. For the potatoes, I used Yukon Gold because of their dense flesh & somewhat sweet taste. They’re also a good mid-range potato between starchy & creamy. Serve the soup for lunch […]
Before losing my website – all 600 or so posts & recipes & over seven years work, Thai Basil Cashew Chicken Stir-Fry was a popular recipe on my site as well as Pinterest. Here I am building a website from scratch & had to include this recipe. It’s quick, easy & tastes authentically Thai – […]
One Pan Lemon Shrimp & Zucchini Orzo, creamy in texture as the orzo cooks & releases its starch. Both lemon zest & juice give this one pan marvel brightness. Zucchini is plentiful & its mellow flavor is a perfect vegetable for pairing with shrimp. For me, orzo is the lazy person’s risotto – nothing wrong […]
Lemon Curd is simple to make – easier than you thought, if you’d ever considered making it at home. Of course you can buy Lemon Curd but not all are created equal. Homemade tastes like it’s devoid of artificial flavor & doesn’t have the nuclear color of some inferior curds. If you are going to […]
