In addition to 60 varieties of apples, they have magnificent row of Chestnut trees castsnea spp. which produce up to 250 lbs per mature tree per season. We bought several pounds of fresh chestnuts, which led us to ask ju ...

This week got off to a manic start. For one, I had my hometown theatre houseguests stay over on Sunday and Monday nights, and of course the sky decided to spew a wet windstorm of disgusting late-February snow on southern Ontario on the one day I’d allotted for grocery shopping. Secondly, I had a difficult time arranging interviews for a totally ...

…well in a toaster oven anyways. The bride has taken on upon herself to show me all of the best of the local area around San Jose. The other day we went on a cruise along Skyline Drive. It’s a road that goes along the ridgeline of the Santa Cruz Mountains in a twisty and heavily wooded path, beautiful and definitely scenic drive. So we’re driving a ...

Jack Frost nipping at your nose,” and it got me thinking, “I have never tried to roast chestnuts. How hard coul ...

I don’t think I ever had roasted chestnuts before. I might have tried them when I was really young, but I don’t actually remember. I saw chestnuts on sale at Trader Joe’s right before Thanksgiving, so I thought I would buy them and see how I liked them. They are super easy to roast and about 20 minutes later you have a sweet and nutty warm ...

The great thing about the cooler weather is that I can return to making some of my favourite soups. This creamy roasted chestnut and quinoa soup is a new favourite of mine and I love the silkiness and mellowness of it. You can easily adapt the flavours to your own liking by adding herbs or spices in it. I wanted to keep them to the minim ...

I may have mentioned it before, but I quite like cooking just for myself when I'm alone at home.
