Delicata Squash + Blue Potatoes + Apples & A Mustard, Maple Cranberry Vinaigrette This time of the year is all about celebrations, family, gatherings and parties.

Perfect Porridge
Quinoa + Apples, Pears & Maple Cream This riff on hot oats is one of my favorite ways to get a wholesome hot breakfast during the long winter we’re all heading towards. And it definitely kept us warm through the last day of the Wakefield market last week. In this version I used quinoa instead […]
Fritters on a Fritz!
Summer Squash + Sweet Corn Hash with Maple Chili Syrup Sometimes well laid plans fail and you have to improvise. Yes, I’m talking about recipes at the market that do not work and you as a chef have to transform the recipe on the fly. That is exactly what happened when I planned a squash […]
Insomnia Inspired
Blueberry, Corn & Mint Salad + Dark Ale Mustard & Maple Syrup Dressing I had been up from lack of sleep and if you want to know what my brain does when I cannot sleep, it thinks up recipes. So, laying there at 3 AM my thoughts went to the market, what the farmers would […]

Eggplant & Corn Relish + Maple Syrup
Eggplant & Corn Relish + Maple Syrup with Crostini Oh, there are so many things one can do with eggplant, and when the Market Manager told me that they’d not demoed anything with eggplants in a while, I was psyched!! It was a cold and windy for a Saturday in July, so a warm relish […]
