It’s once again time for In My Kitchen and as per usual this is a collection of things from the past month — a small snippet of those seen over on Instagram — in loosely interpreted categories and no particular order... As always I’m linking up with Celia for IMK. ------ Kitchen Shenanigans & Food Finds A much belated display of the edible goodies that actually came home with us from Japan. Chilli and tea (because I ate the Meiji dark chocolate on the plane) should tell you all you … [Read more...]
Mother’s Day | Gift Guide 2015
A little something special to say Happy Mother's Day to the special woman who raised you. Every mother deserves a little bit of pampering and this beautiful collection is firmly grounded -- or more appropriately drifting dreamily with its head in the clouds -- in relaxation and indulgence that will last well past the second Saturday in May. 1 Green Grass and Blue Wind Felted Slippers by JurgaZa Felt on Down That Little Lane | because comfortable slippers are the first step (slippers, step, … [Read more...]
In My Kitchen: February/March 2015
It’s once again time for In My Kitchen and as per usual this is a collection of things from the past month — a small snippet of those seen over on Instagram — in loosely interpreted categories and no particular order. With a double dose because February flew by before I knew it. As always I’m linking up with Celia for IMK. ------ Kitchen Shenanigans Even though we eat gluten our go-to pizza dough is from Emma Galloway's cookbook My Darling Lemon Thyme (because it is just that good).

Good Eats Holiday Gift Guide 2014
Next up in my 2014 Holiday Gift Guide series… edible gifts for the gourmet. Food should never be overlooked as the perfect gift, especially when it's as good as the items here.

Of course you can always pair food with another complimentary present too. ** These are some of my favourite edible treats. Most are locally made by small producers … [Read more...]
Let’s Brunch Holiday Gift Guide 2014
Next up in my 2014 Holiday Gift Guide series… ideas for the brunch-addict in your life. My obsession with brunch is well documented so it's only fitting that my second gift guide was assembled with a singular focus on the best meal of the day. Anything (ok everything) on this list would make me quite happy on Christmas morning but it's the waffle maker, followed by the Tea-iere, that I'm really coveting. Of course those plates would make fine props... 1 Stoneware 12-Cup Egg Tray by Rachael … [Read more...]
In My Kitchen: November 2014

Zebra-Striped Choc-Orange Vegan Cheesecake
I was going to let Halloween pass by this year with nary a mention. Then the other day, after talking to a girlfriend about her over-the-top ghoulish creation, I was bitten by the trick-or-treat bug. So much as I love the crazy Halloween recipes that float across the interwebz this time of year I find myself sticking with a slightly tamer theme -- if you've been here a while you may recognise the colour combo from my Halloween Ice Cream Bars with Chocolate & Green Goo Magic Shell -- … [Read more...]
