Clafoutis, often spelled clafouti, is a rustic style French dessert. It can not be described in any way other than a cross between, a cake, a custard and a pancake.

Crisp chicken cutlets, or scaloppine, are nice easy spring dinner. I like to put a bit of fresh lemon into the breading with some herbs, and serve with fresh lemon wedges on the side. A simple side of gnocchi or a side salad with vinegreatte make a great accompaniment. I love to cook in the […]

BACK FROM UNIVERSITY! I arrived in Vancouver late last night and am still feeling the effects of jet-lag but it was so worth it to be in my own bed. I woke up this morning with the determination to post my first post. I suddenly felt the pressure. My first post should be something AMAZING. […]
