Well done, medium, rare or… raw?

Prairie Palate: Steak Carpaccio

By
My friend Joanne said she would not eat raw lamb, and that was fine with me. So while everyone else at the table made adventurous forays to try the lamb, she watched bemused. When they liked it, she looked puzzled. And when the bowl was almost empty, she finally picked up a piece of pita […] Read more

Breakfast is the best!

Prairie Palate: A morning muesli recipe

By
Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day. This may come as a surprise, given my penchant for experimenting in the kitchen. I love a good, multi-course, try-something-new, dirty-all-the-dishes dinner now and then, but the satisfaction of such a herculean effort is elevated by the simple unworried recovery of breakfast. Just one dirty bowl at […] Read more

Meals in the field?

Harvesting season is so busy, but make meals a time to get together with family

By
In my family, harvest suppers were a simple affair. My dad preferred a cold supper in a lunch box containing no item he couldn’t eat with one hand while steering the combine with the other. The driver of the grain truck (usually my brother Tom) might come in for a quick supper in the time […] Read more

Cooking food on a stick

Prairie Palate: Fruit Kebabs

By
My dad celebrated a significant birthday recently so of course we had a wiener roast. It’s my dad’s favourite meal. Few things are more “summer” than an open fire and food cooked on a stick. When we were little (my siblings and me) we followed Dad into the “woods” around the dugout to hunt for […] Read more

Wild asparagus is hard to find

Prairie Palate: It prefers an undisturbed area, so the more land that is cultivated, the less it can find suitable habitat

By
Not long ago, I was asked if I had ever picked wild asparagus. The answer was “No,” but it got me thinking. I’ve picked wild mushrooms, wild strawberries and wild mint but I have never been so lucky as to come across a patch of wild asparagus while walking in the great outdoors. Come to […] Read more

People of the Prairies, unite!

Join in solidarity with people from Arizona and have a potluck dinner – just to prove a point

I am about to break the law. Don’t be alarmed, I doubt it will land me in jail. In fact, it is quite possible the law will be changed before this appears in print and my actions will no longer constitute a misdemeanour. In the meantime, I feel obliged to break this law on principle. […] Read more

A good old-fashioned baked beans recipe

Prairie Palate: These will warm you up on a cold winter's day and may bring back some good memories

By
It seems every old cowboy movie had a camp cook serving up a mess of baked beans. I can see John Wayne eating them now… from a tin plate with an old battered spoon and a chunk of sourdough bread. So, it’s fitting that when I asked rancher Art Unsworth for a recipe from the […] Read more

Berries are a healthy choice

Prairie Palate: Better for you than just about any other fruit and can be served in a variety of ways

By
Long before there were Florida oranges and an apple a day, berries were keeping us happy and healthy through the long winter months. Fact is, berries are better for you than just about any other fruit. Berries were vital to the well-being of the indigenous population, who made a kind of fruit leather by pounding […] Read more

Resolutions for 2016

Prairie Palate: Because they all revolve around food they are likely to last

By
It’s time for New Year’s resolutions, and for that I usually look to the kitchen. My resolutions always seem to revolve around food. One year I resolved to eat more potatoes. The next year, to eat more beans. The following year, to eat berries every day. Another year I pledged to make a pot of […] Read more
