Fresh basil. Tomato. Buffalo mozzarella. Those are the basic ingredients for stomach pleasure. Even the sight of the three ingredients on a cutting board bring a smile to my face. I think it was while I was in Italy that I “discovered” caprese salad and also where I fell in love with fresh basil. Since [...]

Italian Simplicity
May 2, 2011
I recently found myself in amidst the lush seaside cliffs and colourful stucco houses that make up Cinque Terre in the Italian Riviera. I travelled to the tiny village of Corniglia, aboard a train that sped through tunnels carved through the rocky cliffs and the first thing I did was visit the only food shop [...]
Two Soup Fails?
February 19, 2010
Wednesday was a cloudy, dark, and gloomy day. Soft, light snow fell followed by heavy, wet snow – perfect day for hot steamy dishes like soup. For lunch I wanted something simple and comforting. On top of the fridge we have a bag of alphabet pasta Jay and I purchased on a whim several months [...]
Haddock Burgers
November 12, 2009
I’m a huge fan of burgers. Massive burgers that leave me with a dislocated jaw. I would probably be happy eating burgers everyday. Well, maybe that’s an exaggeration but you know what I mean. Even if I were to eat burgers everyday, I would eventually get bored and I’d have to find another type of [...]
Sweet Shrimp Salad
October 23, 2009
After a gruelling, yet satisfying, turbo sculpt workout I craved a big bowl of salad. Believe me, a few years ago I would not have craved a salad after a workout – I would have probably ran to the closest McDonald’s for a Quarter Pounder, fries, and a coke. I have changed my ways and [...]
Mushroom and Prosciutto Grilled Cheese
October 18, 2009
Lunch was supremely good today. Sautéed mushrooms, thick slices of mozzarella cheese and a thin slice of prosciutto, grilled to perfection between Jay’s homemade bread.
More salad love
October 7, 2009
I can’t express how satisfied I feel after eating a massive bowl of lettuce, assorted veggies and a handful of protein. Today I made shrimp salad again but instead of drizzling the salad with oil and balsamic vinegar I made a dressing with mayo, Dijon mustard, lemon juice and fresh ground pepper. I found that [...]
A cure for hangover
October 5, 2009
It’s Saturday morning, I crack open my crusted eyes and push back the wave of nausea followed by the pulsating beat of a headache. This is what happens when you stay up all night getting loaded and playing Street Fighter IV and Trash Panic on the PS3. When I finally drag myself to the living [...]
After jog salads
October 1, 2009
There is no greater feeling than that of falling into your apartment with sweat pouring down your face, neck, chest and legs after a gruelling jog. And nothing rewards a good jog as well as a salad does. It’s a much deserved treat you know you won’t regret or feel guilty about later. Oh and [...]
Oh my Food God, this is outrageous!
September 18, 2009
See previous post on jalapeño corn bread sandwich, toasted with melted Havarti cheese. The corn bread itself was nothing spectacular, hence why I turned it into sandwich bread. For lunch today I thought I’d make myself another corn bread sandwich with perhaps some cooked chicken breast as well as Havarti cheese. But, in my mind [...]
