Shakshouka Galette | Culinary Cool www.culinary-cool.com

Breakfast for dinner is arguably the best meal concept of all-time.  Skip the pancakes and french toast, and do yourself a favour, and make Mini Shakshouka Galettes. If there’s a dish that deserves to be the champion of “Breakfast for Dinner”, it would have to be Shakshouka.  Eggs poached in a smoky tomato sauce hits…

Maple Curry Glazed Carrots | Culinary Cool www.culinary-cool.com

Looking to add something new to your Thanksgiving meal?  Why not try a quintessentially Canadian flavour combo – maple and curry. Three years ago, I took a 16-day road trip to the East Coast.  Obviously, I devoured my fair share of fresh, local seafood (oh lord, the lobster), but the thing I ate the second-most…

Cheesy Garlic Bread with Pine Nuts | Culinary Cool www.culinary-cool.com

So, listen.   Cheese is basically my best friend, nay, my soul mate.  I’ve never met a cheese I didn’t like – even the stinkiest of blue’s appeal to my palate.   I’ve been know to make a cheese plate for dinner, sans the accoutrements (re: just cheese on a plate with nothing to go with it). While yes,…

Apple, Dijon and Havarti Flatbread

Cheese and apples are a perfect pair.  There’s something about the sweet and tartness of an apple that makes me want a slice or two of cheese at the same time.  I can remember back to my elementary school days, our babysitter would serve us an after school snack.  The snacks varied from day to…
