Simple Yellow Lentils (Moong Dal)
Over the last couple of months, I have been secretly experimenting with a deliciously fun and easy toy. I was nervous about trying it at first, and now I can’t believe it took me so long to welcome this ingenious gizmo into my life. I’m now officially ready to share my adoration for…my slow cooker!

A Very Green Soup
In case the title didn’t make it obvious, this soup is very green. And I’m afraid I don’t have a witty anecdote or sage advice to go along with it. I was simply cleaning out the fridge to make room for my latest goodies from the farmers market, so I tossed the random vegetable stragglers [...]
Split Pea Soup
Want to know why I’ve been posting so many soup recipes lately? It’s still cold here, and rainy, and that means I want the warm comfort that a hot bowl of soup brings. I typically eat a bowl of soup (or two) as a full meal, but I get that not everyone feels soup constitutes [...]
Zucchini Noodle Miso Soup
Zucchini noodles taste exactly like perfectly al dente pasta. Don’t argue with me, because it’s true. This is a delicious, easy and speedy soup you can throw together for a no-fuss lunch or dinner (or breakfast too, if that appeals to you). It’s a blast to use a spiral slicer to make the noodles, and [...]
Brown Rice Congee
I’ll always remember eating my first bowl of congee because it coincided with my very first glimpse of a beluga whale’s penis. I promise I’m not a pervert – let me explain. In 2006, I was a member of the media relations team at the Vancouver Aquarium. One weekend, I was hosting a group of [...]
Cream of Spinach Soup
I probably should have called this ‘fridge and freezer scraps’ soup, as this recipe came about after I rummaged through the fridge, selected what was old or about to go off and turned it into a meal. This soup was so simple, and yet I can’t tell you how delicious it was. The texture was [...]
Roasted Asparagus and Baby Leek Soup
This soup does not have the most striking hue of green. Some of you may find the colour pukey, while for others it may be reminiscent of that love-it-or-hate-it Dior dress Nicole Kidman wore to the Oscars many years ago. I know we eat with our eyes, too, but in this case I beg you [...]
Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Soup
Since Fall rolled around, I’ve been eating very simply. It’s difficult to maintain a raw diet when the weather turns. My meals include plenty of soups and stews, and this soup is one of my favourites. Not only is it sweet, luscious and creamy, but it’s easy to create variety by making little adaptations. Sometimes [...]
