Wild Garlic Mustard & Basil Pesto

Wild Garlic Mustard & Basil Pesto

Even in the middle of a city, wild edible food is often growing right in our own backyards. Occasionally I accompany my partner on one of his runs through Edmonton's River Valley, him on foot and me on my bike. My eye naturally and constantly scans the forest, I don't know what I'm looking for but I often see it. Insects, birds, plants, animals; I ...

Roasted Garlic Socca Pizza with Arugula & Tahini Lemon Drizzle

Roasted Garlic Socca Pizza with Arugula & Tahini Lemon Drizzle

Welcome back! I hope everyone had a great long weekend. It was kind of chilly here, but still sunny for the most part. My partner and I celebrated the first long weekend of the summer with dinner at a local Indian fusion restaurant (so good, if you're in Edmonton you need to check it out), followed by a patio beer at a bar we've been meaning to ...

Maple Hemp Almond Butter

Maple Hemp Almond Butter

In case you haven't already noticed, I love nut butter. Straight out of the jar with a spoon. So good. I always make my own nut butters at home, and I usually keep two types on hand. A sweeter recipe that's irresistibly delicious, and a basic/savoury recipe that can also be incorporated into sauces. I make a different version each time. My basic ...

Honey Cinnamon Walnut Almond Butter

Honey Cinnamon Walnut Almond Butter

This. Stuff. Is. Amazing. No joke. If you like almond (or any nut) butter, you're going to LOVE this stuff. It's ¾ walnut butter and ¼ almond butter, hence I like to call it walmond butter. You can replace the almonds with more walnuts and it'll be that much more decadent, but I like to cut the costs a little by using almonds, since they're ...

Shredded Asian Slaw with Almond Ginger Sauce

Shredded Asian Slaw with Almond Ginger Sauce

If you've never tried celery root, also known as celeriac, you are missing out! It tastes similar to celery, but it has a milder, more earthy, and maybe even sweeter flavour. It's a very versatile root that I've written about before; it can be cooked, steamed, mashed, baked, roasted, pureed, or eaten raw. Did I forget anything? I've added raw cubed ...

Lacto-Fermented Kimchi

Lacto-Fermented Kimchi

This batch of kimchi was my second attempt at this traditional fermented Korean side dish. The first version I made was good, but overly salty and not quite what I was aiming for. I decided to try my hand at kimchi again recently, after my partner suggested we use our fermented hot sauce as part of the recipe. Genius! Seriously. If you haven't yet ...

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

Eating healthy doesn't have to be expensive. Most health food stores (and other grocery stores) will discount their less-than-fresh produce in order to sell it before it goes bad. Our local health food store has a discount section, and I check it out every time I'm there. Sometimes the produce in that section actually looks pretty good, and will ...

Homemade Almond-Cashew Nut Butter

Homemade Almond-Cashew Nut Butter

Nut butter is one of those staples I always have on hand. It's great for adding into smoothies, sauces or spreads, dipping in apples, or spreading on toast and topping with bananas. Seriously, yum. It's all the more satisfying when you've made it yourself too! Store-bought nut butters tend to be pricey, ranging up to $16 for a jar of raw almond ...

Lacto-Fermented Mixed Pepper Hot Sauce

Lacto-Fermented Mixed Pepper Hot Sauce

My partner and I do a lot of fermenting, but I have yet to share any fermented recipes. So I figured now was the perfect time! I've been wanting to share this recipe for a while, but first I had to wait and make sure it turned out. And, phew, it was even better than I hoped it would be! This hot sauce is (duh) spicy, garlicky, and flavourful. It ...

Homemade Tahini

Homemade Tahini

Sesame seed paste, otherwise known as tahini, is a versatile ingredient to have in your kitchen. You can add it to anything from hummus (obviously!), to dips, spreads, sauces, soups, granola bars, you name it. It gives a wonderful creamy texture and is high in nutrients. Homemade is better than store-bought any day, hands down. And with so ...
