Great side dish for any meal. The green sauce is fresh and punchy and the tahini ads a lovely creaminess. I tweaked the original recipe a bit: Roasted potatoes with green sauce and tahini. Ingredients 1.5 kg potatoes (I used fingerlings but the original recipe …
There’s a Gastown restaurant called Birds & Beets that serves their breakfast sandwiches with pickled red onion on top. They are oh so delicious so I decided to make some at home. Ingredients 1 large red onion, peeled, cut in half and sliced thinly 3/4 …
Butternut squash is a fall favourite. It’s relatively cheap and stores for ages. It’s also super easy to cook. Forget all this nonsense about peeling and cubing it. That is just not necessary. Wash it, poke a good number of holes all over it and …

My Organivores bin had a myriad of greens this week including a big bunch of dandelion greens. Yup, weed leaves. And, I have to say, they are delicious. First up, I had a look around on the web to see how exactly one prepares and …
