There is something deeply satisfying about the rich, red flavour of sun-dried tomatoes, whether they're the star of a sweet pesto, a quick sauce or these Savory Sun-Dried Tomato Scones; it's a taste that says autumn. This is a baking treat just for me, and part of a system of self-care that I perform in tiny rituals throughout my week. It is a practice of pleasure, as I enjoy the smallest of moments.
The end of summer draws near and fresh corn stands dot the urban landscape. Ripe and juicy, ears of corn, wrapped tightly in their husks, make it home to be quickly boiled, buttered and devoured, the leftovers turned into Fresh Summer Cornbread.
Inspired by the delicious crisps of Raincoast fame, a few tasty items from the pantry and I created my very own variety, I give you... Fig Walnut Thyme Crisps. Why not create your own?!
A brief follow up to last week's Beginners Guide to Caviar and Chef B's list of do's and dont's. As promised, the recipe for French Blinis, the small yeast risen pancakes served with caviar. I mean, of course dahhhhhling, toast points are sooooo last year.
This week on Food Gypsy promises to be very bad for your diet. Prepare yourselves. Starting with one of the simplest, fastest Blue Cheese Scallion Biscuits I've ever come across, I was thrilled with the results. It's OK, a couple of laps on the mattress will wear these babies off in a hurry.
This time of year I love a warm scone, fresh from the oven. Perfect with a nice hot cup of tea on a late fall day. Lemon scones are among my favorites; adding cranberry and white chocolate. Light, fragrant, not too sweet; perfect for the girls on a Sunday afternoon or as a hostess gift during the holidays.
Lobster Chili, you’ll be the hit of the tailgate party. MAN FOOD, with a refined twist (and buttery, garlicky, cheesy biscuits).
I had a craving. It involved spinach and feta cheese and... scones. Now foisting said craving on you. HOW DELICIOUS! Flaky and light and salty with just a hint of something green so you can tell yourself these are good…
