No fuss, no muss, and a whole lot of fibre…
Last night I made a batch of one of my easiest homemade breads. It’s more of a method than a recipe, although the proportions have been worked out after much experimentation. (In the EAT section of my site, you’ll find other recipes, including other breads). There’s nothing like homemade bread for breakfast, or a sandwich,…

Better For You Bread
If you’ve been following my posts for a while, you’ll remember my obsession last year with sourdough. I still love it, but the care and feeding of an infant dough all the time can be kind of time-consuming.

Lately, I’ve really been on a sourdough kick – inspired by Michael Pollan’s Cooked. The idea of bread that rises without the…

On Top of Old Smokey…
We were in California this week, where roadside stands were selling avocados ten for a dollar. (Grapefruit, too!) With the skyrocketing price of produce here in Canada, this is hard to even imagine. Friends know I am a keen “eat local, make it yourself” advocate. So I’m not going to buy a Brussels sprout that…
