This is an easy way to cook with the kids and have a “healthier” alternative to chocolates. It’s still sugar but hopefully less of it in their mouths than what they would get for a small chocolate bar, and just as satisfying for the sweet tooth we all have. Time: About 30 minutes Serves: 3…

Toronto-Montreal Pit Stops
We regularly go on trips to Montreal from Toronto to see the in-laws and with two kids boredom is inevitable for a 5-6 hour drive. We have come to realise there are a few pit stops that make it a bit bearable, despite the delays these pit stops create, they are worth it and do…

A decadent recipe from one of my all time favourite Italian chefs Ms. Lidia Bastianich.

Athena I won’t forget you
Greek history, Greek food, Greek weather, and warm people – Greek is great.

Siem Reap – ancient, exotic, and other worldly
As exotic as you can imagine, and more. Siem Reap is another world all on its own.

Great with the older crowd and those with discerning tastes for desserts. Time: About 1 hour and 45min Serves: 10+ Good for: People coming for tea/afternoon- tea Exotic flavour…
Easing my kid’s move
Moving to a new city, let alone a new country is an anxious driven experience. More so for children than adults surely. Even though my wife and I are both Canadian, we met in Dubai, got married there, and had our son there. At 7 years he visited the country but only two weeks at…
