Braised Pork Belly, Roasted Beets & Parsnip Mash a late winter's meal, low and slow and comforting, because slow food is good food.

How to warm up on a cold winter night, just wrap yourself around a big pot of Texas-Style Chili. Rather than using ground meat and sauteing, we use a blade roast and slowly braise it until it's pull-apart tender for big, beefy texture and big chili flavour.

A Nova Scotia seafood chowder, brimming with chunky bits of sea flesh, it's good old fashioned Maritime fare. When the snow flies there's nothing as satisfying is a big, creamy bowl of chowder. My first chowder came as a result of living…

To be more precise: candied yams, dates & walnuts with yogurt & brandied figs. A happy accident that became dessert and is now a winter favourite. Throughout my 20's and 30's I hosted an Orphan's Dinner on both Thanksgiving and Christmas; a gathering of disenfranchised souls…
