I am sorry for letting a week pass without posting, that is inexcusable. I have been caught up in so many exciting things–NYC Restaurant Week, booking my tickets for the New York City Wine & Food Festival, making SO much ice cream, more on that later–that the time has flow by. Oh, and my Blackberry [...]

Saturday morning–the day of the wedding–I overslept and missed having breakfast with my friends. Dave was to arrive in the afternoon, so I set out on my own for some brunch. I knew that I wanted a real local experience, so I went with the Park Cafe and Diner, which many on Urbanspoon agreed serves [...]
Weczeria food and wine

Thanks to some online research by Kristen, the night before the wedding we had a delicious dinner at Weczeria Food & Wine, a Saskatoon newcomer. One of the few, if perhaps only, restaurants in town that focuses on the use of local ingredients, it had photos of the farmers who supply the restaurant on the [...]
A taste of Saskatoon

Saskatoon. What can I say but you can’t go wrong eating in a town named after a berry. Nancy (a friend from culinary school) and I arrived in Saskatoon on Friday afternoon (Dave was to arrive the next morning). The reason for our trip was the wedding of Lene (who was also in our class), [...]
Peach coffee cake

Baking with fruit seems to be the theme of the moment. I received one luscious pound of the season’s first peaches in my CSA share this week. They were still a little hard when I got them so I was letting them sit for a bit but, before I knew it, it was Thursday night [...]
Red currant muffins

Dave’s mother just returned from a trip to Michigan to visit family. She usually brings back delicious dried cherries (this time I had requested a larger batch as I seem to be using them a lot for baking) when she goes. There was an extra special treat in additon to the cherries: red currants, freshly [...]
Bouchon Bakery Cafe

Earlier this week, I was graced with a once in a lifetime opportunity: I was able to tour the kitchen at Per Se. Rebecca, a classmate of mine from culinary school, is doing an internship there and she took Clare (another classmate) and me through the entire, multi-roomed back of the house. It was the [...]
Pies, sweet and savory
Posted in baked treat, lunch out, tricks of the trade, tagged cherry pie, Ithaca pie on July 14, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
For the picnic last weekend, I made and brought the food. The two most popular dishes–sweet and savory, respectively–were pies. In the savory department it was an Ithaca pie that I made using beautiful rainbow chard from my CSA. As for sweet, the crowd favorite was sour cherry pie. A note on cutting chard. When [...]
