Vancouver’s Back Side

By: Kristina I'm privileged to live in one of the world's most beautiful cities and I try to take advantage of that. I spend much time roaming the streets, particularly on the west side of the city, walking my dog and smelling the flowers (the lilacs are insane this season). But when I'm done analyzing the new builds and admiring the Mazeratis parked on the residential tree-lined streets, I like to become an alley cat. — Read More —

The Essential Pots and Pans

By: Kristina
How many pots and pans does the average home cook (notice I don't say chef) need? Most of us ending up buying our pots and pans in sets, which can be an excellent way to score a deal. But if you're like me, a bunch of those end up going unused, taking up precious storage space. — Read More —

Game Day Prep

By: Anna
I am the first to admit to being a fair-weather fan of any sport whose season culminates in a big game everyone wants to watch. The excitement in the air, the fascinating stories about world class athletes, behind the scenes drama and most importantly, it's a reason for me to cook for a bunch of my friends. — Read More —

The Best Day of the Year

By: Anna
Halloween is just around the corner. It really is the perfect holiday. (It's not actually a holiday. But it should be.) You get to eat candy, you get to be whomever you want to be, you don't have to spend money on presents for people you hardly see or even like and there are no awkward family dynamics to deal with, because you don't have to spend time together if you don't want to. What's not to love? — Read More —

It’s Getting CROW-ded Around Here!

By: Kristina
I'm sitting in my backyard, trying to soak up a few rays, when my neighbour begins making the most god-awful squawking sounds. I go back inside the house, the squawking stops. Back in my lounge chair, it starts up all over again. He's literally trying to drive me out of my own backyard. — Read More —
