Cook the Book: 'Michael's Genuine Food'

Genuine food is made from ingredients that are close to its origins. There is no pretence, or sous-vide, or foam. It's honest and basic.

Cross-Border Shopping Guide: Canada

Oh Canada! St-Hubert sauce is sooo much better than Swiss Chalet! You can find it in grocery stores in Eastern Ontario and Québec.
Love President's Choice - best store brand ever! Their Chiptole & Beer Smokey BBQ sauce is a big hit at our house. The Decadent Chocolate Chip Chocolate Fudge cookies are my favourite! (canadian spelling)

You forgot to mention the seasonal and teeth-itching maple-glazed, maple cream donut at Timmy's. My teeth are singing just thinking about it.

This is the land where one day, you walk into the lobby of your office building and you find a sugar shack vendor selling 4 grades of maple syrup (light, medium, dark & amber), and thick, spreadable maple toffee you scoop out of a can with a popsicle stick, maple candies, maple butter... *drool*... and the next day, they are gone. They'll be back at the end of April though :)

Cook the Book: 'At Home with Madhur Jaffrey'

Gobi Aloo (curried cauliflower and potatoes), and Vikram Vij's Eggplant, tomato and green onion curry, which is soooo simple and always a big hit ( http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/article973917.ece ).

Cook the Book: 'Food Matters: A Guide to Conscious Eating'

When I was a vegetarian, Mark Bittman inspired me to stop using all those fake meat "analogs" and start cooking real vegetarian food - recipes meant to be made without meat. I ended up going through my Spanish grandmother's recipes to find mediterranean vegetarian recipes from previous generations of my family. None of the stuff I used to make with meat "analogs" ever tasted this good. Thanks Mark! My family thanks you too :)

Spiced Rum: It's Not All About the Captain

This past Christmas, I did all sorts of experimenting with liqueurs: Key Lime Vodka, Limoncello, Grand Marnier, Coffee Tequila, Irish Cream... so many variations, I forget half of them. They all turned out really well... except the Key Lime Vodka (I totally messed up the process - it was my first liqueur batch that year). But the best... the most successful by far were the batches of Tequila, Vodka and Whiskey that were infused with Celestial Seasonings' Bengal Spice tea bags. I tried a couple of different sweeteners: simple syrup, Agave nectar and locally produced liquid honey. The best was the Vodka and honey.

I guess I have to go back into evil genius mode and experiment with Rum now. I hope hubby doesn't mind waiting for dinner :)
