Jackfruit Carnitas with Celery Root Tortillas
There have been so many times where I cook for other and find that they have food allergies or sensitivities. I love to accommodate them without compromising on the flavours. I decided to treat my friends (one vegetarian and one gluten free) to a delicious carnitas taco. How would one go about doing that? I…
Celery Root Pakoras
Pakoras are a tasty Indian fried snack that is made with chickpea flour (gram flour) and spices. You can make pakoras with a lot of different ingredients like carrots, cauliflower, and onions.

Bread in a Bag
Once again, I am attempting to cook with my toddler. I thought he would have so much fun with this activity but I don’t think he cared for it much. Also our yeast was old and we couldn’t find any yeast in the store so the buns didn’t rise as much as I wanted them…

Mango Coconut Popsicles
It is never too cold to have popsicles! Even when it is freezing out and windy and rainy and all those things that happen in Vancouver in October…. These popsicles will remind you of warmer tropical weather! And they are so easy to make that you can make them year round. You will need two…
Asian Style Marinated Eggplant
This is super easy recipe that can be made for a side dish to your meal. I love oven roasting eggplants to get them to the nice caramel colour. Prepping the eggplant does take a bit of time since you would need to get the eggplant to marinate for at least 30 minutes. This process…
