Steak and Potatoes
Moe and I shared a nice thick Rib Eye for dinner. Grilled and served with roasted potato wedges, mushrooms, broccoli and sauted tomatoes.
My Most Repeated Meal
As I’ve mentioned in the past, the traditional roast chicken dinner is a top ten favourite. Depending on what day you ask me, it is either number one or maybe number five, but it is never lower on that list than that. The chicken was presalted using Judy Rogers method and it was roasted at…
Spotted Prawns
I love, love, love local spotted prawns. The season is very short, between 6 and 8 weeks. I drove down to the dock in Cowichan Bay today and picked up 10 pounds of prawns right off the boat. Half for us and the other half for our neighbour Clif. I took a big pail with…
French Bread
Bake day. I was out of homemade bread and I go back to work tomorrow so I needed to bake today. Made 5 loaves of French Bread, semi baguette style. I doubled Julia Child’s recipe.
Sole Almondine
Sole is one of Moe’s favourite fish. I really should cook it more often. Next best thing to Dover Sole is the Petrale Sole that is available out here on the west coast. Sweet and delicate. Tonight we had it very simply prepared – dipped in flour and quickly fried and served with a browned…
Making do with what’s on hand…….
Too lazy to go out today so I made do with what I had on hand. Pulled Lamb shanks out of the freezer. Browned, seasoned with salt and pepper, sauted onions and garlic, added beef broth and a squirt of tomato paste, covered and cooked in a 350°F oven until almost tender. Added cubed rutabaga…
Chorizo, Chive and Cheese Frittata
I have the next three days off so Moe will be eating better. Starting this morning with a Chorizo and chive frittata sprinkled with fresh grated Parmesan cheese and served with potato pancakes and homemade bagels, toasted.

Sticky Toffee Muffins
I love Sticky Toffee Pudding and what could be better for breakfast than Sticky Toffee Muffins, covered in Caramel sauce. The muffins are very similar to a traditional sticky toffee pudding. A couple of years back, I had one of Sticky Toffee pudding photos published in a British magazine – Cumbria Food & Drink Spring…
Chicken Piccata
Another one of those easy ‘after-working-all-day’ dinners. Chicken Piccata can be prepared in almost the time it takes to bring a large pot of water to boil and cook the pasta. Rather than use the traditional capers in the piccata I always add green peppercorns. I prefer dried green peppercorns rather than the kind that…
