But I love to cook!” And after being a contestant on season two of the national televised cooking competition, “MasterChef Canada,” she’s keen to continue learning everything she can about cooking — on and off camera.

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

Don’t throw out that ham bone

Prairie Palate: If you served up an Easter ham, I hope you kept the bone to make soup

By
Sometimes I eat out of the garbage. Case in point: One year as we cleaned up Easter dinner, I asked my sister-in-law what she did with the ham bone. It was a good ham and we enjoyed it immensely. As I was eating it, I thought of the (even more) delicious soup I could make […] 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

Prairie Palate: A recipe for Swedish meatballs

By 2011 more than 152,000 people living in the Prairies claimed Swedish heritage

By
On a recent trip to Sweden, of course I had to try meatballs. Here on the Prairies, Swedish meatballs seem to represent the culinary tradition of an entire nation that sent so many sons and daughters to Western Canada in pioneer times. And it’s good to know that Swedish meatballs are still popular in their […] 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

Canary seed approved for humans

And why not? It’s nutritious and gluten free

By
I got the news, appropriately, via Twitter, i.e. a tweet: Canary seed has been granted the status of human food. Last month, regulatory authorities in Canada and the United States gave canary seed the human stamp of approval. Which raises the question, if canary seed is for the birds, why would we humans flock to […] Read more

What’s more Canadian than a bowl of porridge?

Prairie Palate: Canada is the second-largest oats producer and the largest exporter and they were a staple for pioneers

By
I started my day with a bowl of oatmeal porridge. Nothing could be more Canadian. We grow more oats in Canada than anywhere else but Russia. Canada is the second-largest producer — and the largest exporter — of oats in the world. Mountains of our oats are turned into brand-name breakfast cereals, oatmeal cookies and […] 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
