Perfect for après ski, après fondue...or just about anything. Crème Brûlée is my favorite dessert because it is simple, elegant, and delicious. Furthermore, it gives you a leg up from all the other guys in the room...and you get to use a butane hand torch! This one is slightly different from the traditional vanilla … Continue reading Crème Brûlée: The Perfect Winter Dessert
When Improvising Works: Thai Lettuce Bowls
At the base of a good improviser is knowledge and quick thinking. Improvisers, Will Ferrell, for example, are quick to think up funny and entertaining comebacks and phrases that will make your jaw drop from either political incorrectness and crude humour, or laugh hysterically. Unfortunately, cooking is quite different from comedic improvisation. Being a natural … Continue reading When Improvising Works: Thai Lettuce Bowls

To me, it's all food and some things taste better than others. I won't prepare or cook a food unless it has flavour, because, I enjoy … Continue reading Deliciously Healthy
Don’t Be Afraid To Make A Mess
Sometimes the most incredible looking dish is the messiest...think of anything with a drizzle sauce, or any time paint gets splattered on a wall...the uniqueness of the colours, the blend of shades; these are the kind of combinations that will never be seen again in that unique way. Like I always say, Be Unique, make … Continue reading Don’t Be Afraid To Make A Mess
