Tomatoes are a paradoxical plant. Botanically, they're a fruit ? they have their seeds on the inside ? but in the kitchen we treat them as vegetables. While their flesh is a staple in many world cuisines, their leaves are toxic enough to poison a small child. Heck, we can't even agree on how to pronounce their name? Tom-AY-to or tom-AH-to? No matter how you say it, I cannot imagine life[...]http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ChristiesCorne...

Zucchini is one of those innocuous vegetables that doesn't really stand out. Sure, the small ones can be tender, but the large ones tend to get spongy. Because of the high moisture content and neutral taste ?and it's debatable zucchini actually has a taste ? it's grated into cakes, mixed into pasta sauces and even used as a substitute for lasagna noodles. Although I've been happily[...]http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ChristiesCorne...

I can hear it now across the pond…’What is Kweenoah anyway?’ That was you Mr. Eske, was it not? Pronounced KEENWA, this is an ancient “grain” native to South America. It is high in protein and has light, fluffy texture when cooked. Its mild, slightly nutty flavour makes it an excellent alternative to rice or couscous. I actually started making this recipe[...]http://thehealthyirishman.com/2009/09/end-of-...

To celebrate Summer Fest , a four-week cross-blog celebration, Stephanie Stiavetti and I are swapping posts for the day. This week Summer Fest is all over fruit, and Stephanie and I selected peaches. I have always maintained raspberry is my favourite fruit, but a damned good peach is enough to make a liar out of me. While you can pop a whole raspberry into your mouth, swallowing[...]http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ChristiesCorne...

Suferrin’ Succotash! Remember that saying from Sylvester the Cat in the Looney Tunes cartoon? That was pretty much the only time I had heard the word succotash and as a kid I had no idea what it was or meant. Come to find out succotash is food (no wonder why I liked the saying!) The Missus had me believing this dish originated in the South, which would make sense why I[...]http://thehealthyirishman.com/2009/07/summer-...

I’m reminded time and again of how fortunate I am to be surrounded by an abundance of fresh, local produce in Vancouver. Utterly. Undoubtedly. Grateful. Granted, fresh farm produce is not readily available year-round and does come at a cost. Local produce is not cheap in comparison to its imported, supermarket counterpart. Moreover, acquiring these precious gems[...]http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/BouchonForTwo/...
