Wednesday Dinners: March 2011
http://wedine.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 22, 2011. Warm Mediterranean Potato Salad with Feta-Oregano Dressing. Tonight's dinner was inspired by a favourite recipe of my Mom's the creamy feta dressing I invented to go with that delicious prawn salad. A glut of potatoes in the fridge. That last point is due to my new standing order with the NOWBC Co-op. Good with my morning granola). I tried making a double-baked, stuffed spaghetti squash. Fun. Warm Mediterranean Potato Salad with Feta-Oregano Dressing. 5 garlic cloves, smashed.

Wednesday Dinners: Adventures in Jelly
http://wedine.blogspot.com/2012/04/adventures-in-jelly.html
Sunday, April 01, 2012. It was St. Patrick's Day and I had a vision in green that I was determined to see come to fruition. It was all thanks to one of my favourite foodie shows - that BBC Radio 4 Sunday staple, the Food Programme. If you haven't tuned in, you should give it a try, because you can listen to a lot of their back catalogue on the BBC iPlayer. The episode I'd listened to featured jelly. Extraordinary food sculptures depicting natural and architectural designs, created using pastry, spun suga...

Wednesday Dinners: August 2010

Wednesday, August 25, 2010. Sexy Beans on Toast. This past week I attended a cooking class with my work colleagues at Cookshop Cookschool. And we learned how to make this dish amongst others. It's officially called Cannellini al Forno but it's a sexy version of beans on toast. 1 can of cannellini or white kidney beans (14oz). 1 cup of cream (whipping or half/half). 1 clove of garlic. Rinse your canned beans well and add them with the cream on med-high heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. A mid-wee...

Wednesday Dinners: May 2011
http://wedine.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 19, 2011. A Weekend of Good Food. Here are Kari and Michelle saluting the nuptials with a spot of tea. There was a hat contest later on in the morning (if you can consider 5:30 late) as Breakfast Television was coming by, and I was interviewed for morning radio! We ate scones, fruit, croissants, muffins and sausages, all in honour of Wills and Kate. In marked contrast to the silver tea service and dainty sweets, this was the next thing I ate:. A popular firm these days for a certain sort of...

Wednesday Dinners: I ate New York
http://wedine.blogspot.com/2010/11/i-ate-new-york.html
Wednesday, March 09, 2011. I ate New York. Just like Milton Glaser, I heart New York. I truly do. I'm a convert to its big-city ways, frenetic energy and brash attitude. It's so unlike lovely, laid-back Vancouver, but like our wonderful west-coast city, if you need to find food on the cheap (and believe me, on this trip I certainly did) it's simple. Going on in New York. It doesn't really matter where you go, you're bound to run into something happening. A fantastic seafood restaurant with three locations.

http://wedine.blogspot.com/2011/03/giving-sprouting-second-chance.html
Saturday, March 12, 2011. Giving Sprouting a Second Chance. If I can stick to my salad-a-day routine. I'll have no problem eating them up while they're fresh! It's such a treat to be able to eat something I've grown myself even on these gray wintery days. Fun to get to watch little green sprouts poke out in advance of our spring garden adventures (what are. We going to plant this year? Here's how to make your own:. Put a few tablespoons of beans into a large jar. Posted by Meg Whetung. I have just accide...

Wednesday Dinners: Passover, now and then
http://wedine.blogspot.com/2007/05/passover-now-and-then.html
Tuesday, May 01, 2007. Passover, now and then. 8211; "pay-sach" – in Hebrew) is a Jewish holiday particularly associated with food (though most are! 8211; or in this case, with the absence of certain foods. If you are an Ashkenazi Jew (of Eastern European, rather than Mediterranean origin), as I am, you are prohibited the following foods on Passover: anything with flour, all breads, flat or otherwise (no pita, naan, crepes, tortillas, etc), nothing with yeast at all (injera is obviously out!

Wednesday Dinners: November 2010
http://wedine.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 12, 2010. Granita - The Classy Snow Cone. This week, I was inspired by an episode of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. I love that show! One of the diners made traditional shaved ices. People usually crave snow cones on a hot summer day but I thought 'wouldn't a snow cone be delicious right now? On this cold, rainy dark night) and off I went to investigate how I could make them as soon as possible. Is shaved from a block with flavour added and absorbed by the ice. A granita. 1 c hot water.
