Spaghetti With Asparagus and Shrimp
Having eaten rich foods over the holidays, I wanted to eat something lighter (without raiding my birds’ seed mixture). Up here in Canada, we’ve been getting some decent produce from South America (primarily Chile), due to it’s growing season being the opposite of Canada’s. For the past couple of weeks, I’ve noticed some decent and […]
Spaghetti With Squid and Artichicoke Cream
This past Friday I was in a seafood funk and I really couldn’t decide on what to eat. Many food companies have websites that also include a myriad of recipes to try with their product. Barilla pasta has a wonderful site with a ton of pasta dishes that use alot of different pasta shapes. This […]
Seafood Lasagna
Every year, my family’s church has a “pot luck” dinner for it’s parish. For those not in the know, a “pot luck” dinner is where each attendee of a party, dinner or gathering brings something to the table to be enjoyed by all. Last year I made crab cakes on behalf of my family and […]
Scallops Provencal
Once again, I found myself on the sofa watching the Food Network. It’s not like I’d channel surf and look at what else is on offer. Afterall, there’s a writer’s strike going on in Hollywood, which means reruns upon more reruns. One of my favourite food personalities is Ina Garten or in particular, her recipes. […]
New England Clam Chowder
One of my favourite foods are “soups that eat like a meal”. All one needs is a big bowl of soup, some crackers and dig in! Up until about a year ago my clam chowder used to come from a can or whenever I visited a seafood restaurant. I pleased to announce those days are […]
Harvest Linguine With Clams
What’s another linguine and clam dish gonna hurt? I’ve seen many pasta dishes with seafood, some look delicious, some are so-so and others well….I’ll be nice! I usually do enjoy a lighter clam & pasta dish in the summer months but it’s the warmest October thus far in Toronto’s history of recording the weather. The […]
Not Your Average Souvlaki
One of the goals I have with this blog thing, outlet, mania, passion is to shed light onto what I think is good food and a natural focus on good Greek food. Greek food as I know it at a Greek family’s table or as I’ve experienced in Greece. There is much more to Greek […]
Steamed Clams in a Spicy Tomato Broth
One of my goals during my holidays was to come back armed with new food ideas and experiences. At the beach where I swim daily, I see others diving, snorkeling for octopus, squid, sea urchin and γυαλιστεÏες or clams. For years I very much resented that others would dive in and reap the “fruits of […]
Seafood Pizza
I’m almost on vacation. Tying up loose ends with clients, tidying up the house, putting things in order….making sure all my ducks are in a row. One of my tasks was to cull the remaining basil in my garden. By the time I’m back from holidays the basil will have bloomed, gone yellow and frankly […]
Warm Grilled Calamari & Prawn Salad
OPA! I’m going to Greece soon and I although I won’t be posting much (if at all), I’ll be taking notes, trying new dishes and photographing every morsel for everyone. I have some ideas to try but I’ve patiently waited for my time in Greece. I’ll be using seasonal Greek produce and I’ll be on […]
