Francois was the one who introduced me to this interesting vegetable the spaghetti squash… He also introduced baked leftover spaghetti (the pasta version) into my culinary world (check out this recipe for Pasta Fritatta) …spaghetti squash looks like an ordinary squash outside… …and inside.. …but when cooked it has a texture unlike others of the winter squash family. It is almost more bland in flavour, […]
OKONOMIYAKI (Japanese Pancakes) I can’t seem to get enough of these. Each bite is a flavour explosion with crunch. My version of Okonomiyaki is usually made with a mixture of cabbage and onion or broccoli slaw with the addition of chopped leftover grilled chicken. But today I decided to try root veggies… The beauty of these is that there are no set quantities but I’ll […]

I needed the kale to top a pasta dish but ‘sans’ oven onboard I would normally have to do without. It is possible that it could be done with a grill sheet on the bbq so will give it a try once R.E.D. is in the water again and let you know… CRISPY KALE 4 cups of kale leaves […]
Another snowy day in paradise calls for comfort food… Potato Latkes are quick and easy addition to breakfast or just on their own… ….grate 2 medium potatoes & 1/2 cup onion add 1 egg stir in 2 tbsp flour salt & pepper Heat oil on grill pan Scoop portions of the potato mixture onto the grill. Brown well on each side and serve. […]
I don’t have a crock pot onboard but was curious about the result of this method… 6 medium onions, sliced 1/4 cup olive oil 1/2 tsp sea salt… …stir all together in crock pot and set for 10 hours or until preferred done-ness… …Or… my onboard way of caramelizing.. same amount of onions as above 3 tbsp olive oil 3 tbsp butter 1/2 tsp […]
