Recipe : Homemade Hot Sauce

Two jars of home made hot sauce. Mouth watering just looking at them.

Ok. We love hot sauce. So maybe in order to be more specific, we should call this recipe "Home Made Hot Sauce I" because there are plenty of delicious ways to mix one of these up.  This one was just packed full of flavour and enough heat to get you sweating in the face when you use it to dip your pizza in. 

Mouth watering yet?

The Start of Something New : Gardening

Our pathway through the garden in fall after it's been overrun by weeds. 

A big part of good food is good product. The more you know about what you are cooking, the better you will make it taste without even trying.  So why would I pass up the opportunity to grow some of my own food? 

Fresh Recipe Ideas : Snap Peas

Sweet Sugar Snap Peas from the Garden

As a first time gardener, I have to say - it's so amazing that sugar snap peas taste amazing because they grow oh so easily!  So you better have a few tricks up your sleeve for cooking these suckers! (for when you don't want to snack on them raw anyways)

Buckle Up!

Welcome to my food blog.  I am a world traveler who spends a lot of time cooking and recreating the great meals I've had abroad, once I return home. At the same time it gets a local twist from the amazing selection of fresh produce I get around here in the sunny Okanagan, British Columbia, where I currently call home.

I have lots to share, from previous experience in the restaurant and foodservice industry, to a lot of trial and error and culinary experimentation at home.  Now I'd like to bring what I've learned over that time, here, to you.  You can bet I'll have a lot of recipes, tips and trick for your own cooking or kitchen projects, and more.

Enjoy this gastronomic adventure that is just getting started!
