Remember a week or so ago when I said I had a major recipe fail? Ideas for how to fix that fail have been swirling through my head ever since. After a week of contemplation I went for a second attempt, and am proud to announce it was a HUGE win! Every once in a […]
Guess who’s mouth wants to eat nothing but salmon this week? This girl’s. But first, a story. Back when I started my new (or not so new any more) job in April, I was at the beach with a couple of my co-workers and we were discussing our favourite food treats. Their answers included some […]
I’ve never considered myself a super trendy type when it comes to fashion, and aside from a brief period of time in my teenage years where Freddie Prinze Jr was plastered all over my bedroom walls, celebrity gossip has never really been something I’ve followed closely. When it comes to food however, I love learning about […]
Back in 2009 when I was on a co-op work term at an advertising agency in Toronto, I remember becoming totally wrapped up in a Food Network series, The 100 Mile Diet. It followed the lives of a BC family who decided to step up to the challenge of eating only locally grown, sourced and produced […]
Get ready friends, because we’re about to get all fusion cuisine up in heeeeeere. I’ve talked a lot in the past about my pre-university life living in the Middle East, and looking back at the foods my family ate, they were primarily of North American, Asian, Arabic and Indian influence.

Oh hello there! Welcome back to reality after the long weekend – and a lovely, sunny and (somewhat) warm Easter weekend here in Vancouver!

That is what I’ve got for you today. But first…. Easter is sneaking up on us miiiiighty quick this year. If your childhood was anything like mine, […]
A couple of weeks ago one of my Instagram followers asked if I could do a behind-the-scenes post that shows my set up for food photography. A few of you have also made this request in the past, so today’s post is a first glimpse into it all. But first, I should preface it with […]
Back when you were in university or college, did the psychology department run studies that you could volunteer for? Mine did, and I signed up because they’d pay me to do something as easy as sit in a room for 30 minutes, look at at computer-generated facial expressions and press buttons on a keyboard. That would immediately […]
Well hello there! At the time you’re reading this, I’m likely in the air, somewhere between London and Bahrain. I’ve just spent a night with my sister and her dog, Tesla, who is so spoiled that she pretty much deserves human sister status too. How could you ever say no to that face!?! Seriously, she is […]
