Financiers

I first encountered French Financiers in NYC in 2008. They were unattractive and unappetizing. I did not buy any. I did not taste them. But now (2024) I have and I regret all the years I missed out on eating/baking these. (The easiest treats I have ever made!)

The crispy toasty brown exterior combines with a soft interior and the almond and Beurre Noisette (brown butter) nutty flavour is fabulous!

Homemade Italian Sausage

When we dusted off the family sausage-making equipment in 2015 and resumed the tradition we added Italian sausage to the activity.

These have been a taste hit with everyone and yet the ingredients are minimal. Mix high-quality pork meat with a few seasonings, stuff the casings and done!

KB's "Massaman Curry"

This is not an authentic recipe, but it tastes the way I want it to taste and if you make it, I hope you will enjoy!

It was the summer of 2019 when I first enjoyed Massaman Curry at (now closed) Sabai Sabai - a Thai resto in Toronto. Part owner and chef was Nuit Regular, a celebrated chef and cookbook author. I managed to enjoy this a few more times, but at a recent birthday celebration at another TO Thai resto, the Massaman Curry was too spicy for me. I contented myself with another dish but left determined to finally make this at home. Success!
