Pork Loin in Milk Recipe
The sauce that this pork recipe produces is truly unique—in flavour and in texture. In fact it basically curdles and turns brown, but it’s a good thing.

Read moreI love anything and everything that is braised. To me braising means two things: comfort food and low effort. The timing for stews and braises is very forgiving if you are entertaining or having a laid back afternoon, plus it always makes the house smell heavenly.
Read moreI like my barbecue sauce spicy, tangy and sweet – in that order. I certainly don’t claim to be an expert on BBQ but this is my best batch of ribs yet and the barbecue sauce is also the best I have made. Maybe it is because I put bacon in it? Just [...]
Read moreYeay! I finally got to do some cooking this weekend. We had really strange weather which involved a beautiful sunny spring morning turning into a stormy snowy afternoon. Luckily because of the dark clouds on the horizon I decided to make something comforting that would help warm up the house – a roast. [...]
Read moreTwo years in a row now I have gone to Mexico in December and then totally wanted to learn more about Mexican cuisine. (See last January’s post: Meatballs in a Tomato Chipotle Sauce.) A little birdie even put the idea of a tortilla press in my head, because I need another kitchen appliance, yeah… riggghhhtt. [...]

Read moreIt was a very last minute decision to go out for beers this evening and that was because we suddenly realized dinner wasn’t going to be until really late. In the early evening we made an appointment to buy some gravel. We are working on a sitting area in our yard and we need some [...]
Read moreI don’t think I had had a pork chop in at least 15 years before making this recipe. The reason I wanted to was I caught Jamie Oliver making a version of this on his Jamie at Home show, and well… he made it looks sexy. I am not ashamed to admit it I was [...]
Read moreThis meal is actually from a few weeks ago as I have definitely fallen behind in my blogging. I recently decided to try and stimulate the half of my brain that is slowly decaying and take a medieval Literature course – very misguided. I am really enjoying it but it eats up a lot [...]
Read moreWe had the most civilized weeknight meal on monday. Of course in our house it doesn’t take much to make it civilized. First of all dinner must occur before 8 and not in the 10pm region because of a culinary miscalculation. Secondly the meal should be fully balanced – or at least contain healthy portions [...]
Read moreThese quesadillas are a delicious way to use up leftover pulled pork. Stuff the tortillas with cilantro, red pepper, scallions and spices.
Read moreI had a very good birthday this year where I received loads of fun presents. One of which was a gift certificate to our local cookbook store. (Yes I know, a store just about cooking.) I had a really fun hour in there trying to decide which of the many books on my wishlist [...]
Read moreHere is an easy and cheap dinner that can be passed off as more. It certainly stands up to a Sunday dinner, serve it with mashed potatoes or rice to sop up the sauce! I admit this is not my prettiest picture, and certainly does not qualify as food porn – however the [...]
Read moreI can’t take credit for this, cause I enjoyed this dinner from the couch. In fact I think it was even delivered to my lap by my fabulous boyfriend who was responsible. He got the idea from a loose meat sandwich he had for lunch years ago and this is his replication of that [...]
