pork scaloppine sandwich
Before I chat about this insanely delicious pork scaloppine sandwich, I want to give a high five to the farm-to-table experience in Nova Scotia that’s been brewing here for years. Farm-to-table movement isn’t new nor is it unique to this corner of the world. But what I will say is this; it’s the reason I…
Read MoreGrilled Pork Tenderloin
For whatever the reason, the air last night was perfumed with backyard barbeques. I love that smell. A simple sign our neighbors were venturing outside and grilling. We were connecting once again with our neighbors with a casual wave of a hand or nod. Pork tenderloin, also known as pork fillet, is one of our…

When we first moved to Hong Kong, one of our all-time favorite fast foods was char siu fun (Chinese bbq pork over rice with a side of ginger sauce – yum!). This was our first introduction to pork belly and before that I hadn’t heard of it. Well, that’s not strictly accurate. Although I grew…

Read MorePork Roast with Balsamic Vinegar
Do you recall your Sunday suppers growing up? These are our fondest food memories we all carry with us. It’s a dialogue we rehash every so often where we chat about what it was that made those meals special even if at the time we didn’t know that later on they would hold amazing memories…

The other night John and I were watching Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Guy Fieri was visiting a diner in Hawaii called Opal’s. It’s owned by a Thai family and as we watched the larb come together, our mouths started to water. It has been far too long since we had this! Larb is the national…
