I’m OBSESSED with anything beetroot, so when I discovered the Beetroot Latte in my local coffee shop, I had to recreate it at home!

flour + salt + warm water

dumpling wrappers + ground pork + kimchi + green onions

This quick version of the Vegetable Biryani although easy is bold and flavourful. It's lightly spiced with turmeric, cumin, coriander, garam masala and other warm spices.The vegetables in this Indian rice dish can be changed around - perhaps add bell peppers, potatoes or cauliflower. You can add a teaspoon of cayenne pepper for a kick if desired.

I am so drawn to the cookbook illustrations of the 1950's, so simple and geometric. This is my classic vinaigrette recipe with a soupscon of Canadian maple syrup. Delicious on any salad!

It's tomato season in the northern hemisphere, and what a variety! When I lived in France, most of the years spent were in the region of Provence. One of my very favorite recipes was tomates à la provençale, a simple peasant tomato dish that requires fresh beefy tomatoes, a day's old baguette, green herbs that you can pick in the countryside, and pure olive oil. Put it in the oven and voilà! Coincidentally, one of my favorite authors, American food writer MFK Fisher, felt the same way about the same Provence where she lived too. Bon appétit!

Food Geometry

Food Geometry submission. I'm all about breakfast! Mainly savory, usually involves an egg over easy and some avocado with a cup (or 3) of black coffee.

I was supposed to submit this for the Food Geometry Handpicked Challenge, but then I decided that maybe I can turn this into a series of food illustrations depicting different cuisines around the world. This first one features savory dishes from Japan.

This illustration is for the FOOD GEOMETRY challenge.
I love hot pot! I love geometry! I love patterns.I love texture.
In this illustration, I combined the pattern table and geometric food for a Hot pot scene!I love the final result!

Food Geometry | In thinking about the geometry of food, I needed to look no further than my garden, ripe with all the makings for a grilled pizza: tomatoes, chives, basil & oregano. As a letterpress printer I like experimenting with forms, and pressure printing is a wonderful way to capture the details in plants. I arranged the leaves of the ingredients on my Vandercook 4 press, inked them up, layed cotton paper over top, and rolled the carriage down the press bed to impress the images into the page. The tomatoes were a beautifully explosive disaster, so I gave myself permission to print circles instead. I then went back & printed the tomato leaves overtop the red circles; the perfect final touch. As I printed the aromatic oils were released from the leaves, making my mouth water. The hand lettering was done with a fountain pen, rather than wood or metal type, to capture the spontaneity and ease of my new favorite late-summer meal.

Nothing captures FOOD GEOMETRY like the beautiful simplicity of circles . . . especially when those circles are bowls and spoonfuls of creamy, thick skyr yogurt! Which do you like best--lingonberry, plain, mixed berry, cloudberry, vanilla bean, or lime?

Here's some more FOOD GEOMETRY for you . . . tangy lemon and key lime pies paired with sweet summer raspberries! Just as delicious as they are beautiful!
