When James first made this cheesecake for our friends, we nearly died at how delicious it was. Since then, whenever a potluck was in the plan, James was asked to bring “the cheesecake." I was lucky enough to gain access to his recipe and each time I’ve made it, I get the same reaction that I gave James.

Tomato season is my favourite but I also end up with a few too many tomatoes near the end of the season. I eat most of my garden tomatoes fresh in Caprese salads or BLTs. As the weather gets colder…

Adapted from a Chrissy Teigen recipe, this is one of my favourite pasta recipes to make. The sauce is bright with a hint of heat, and if emulsified right, can be very creamy. It’s quick and easy - makes for the perfect WFH lunch or quick dinner.

It seems as though many of my developed recipes are made from my favourite dishes from restaurants I’ve served at. This recipe was one of the hardest to recreate, I could never get it quite as good as Moxies but I came pretty close.

Another adaption of an Earls recipe that I had to recreate at home, the Chicken, Brie, & Fig Sandwich was always a go-to order of mine until they took it off the menu…

This is a copycat recipe for one of my favourite Earls classics! After a serving shift I would figure out the cheapest way possible to have this meal. Side salmon, side spring rice…

The first recipe I ever memorized was my mom’s Caesar Salad dressing. Her olive oil and egg yolk base was so different (to me) than all of the other salads I had tried…

This super easy pasta sauce is always a crowd pleaser. Rich and flavourful with a little bit of spice. The burrata on top adds a little extra decadence - totally optional, but a great add on.

The goal of developing this recipe was to find a way to eat a version of Mexican Street Corn or “Elote” as a meal. I have never been a big-fan of Kale, but the heartiness of this salad changed my mind.
