Tonkatsu Sandos with Shaved Cabbage

April 4, 2019 No Comments

The first thing I ask a person upon meeting them is what’s your favorite meal and what’s your favorite pie. I’m not proud of this. I’m not proud of this because, for me, this would be an impossible line of questioning. It’d be right up there with what’s your favorite movie or your favorite song. How the hell could anyone narrow cinema and music down to a pat response? But still, I ask. Not because I wish to be annoying but because I like to make people happy. If I ever ask you either of these questions, it means I’m a fan. I asked Bae both of these questions shortly after meeting him and he answered without hesitation – tonkatsu. Ever since then, I’ve been finding ways to sneak the treat onto our dinner table whenever I can. Today’s Tonkatsu Sandos is just my most recent effort.

Kidney Bean Bibimbap with Mirin Braised Shiitakes

March 19, 2019 No Comments

Okay, so before we launch into today’s Kidney Bean Bibimbap I have one very important and painfully obvious disclaimer to get out of the way: I am not Korean and I have never been to Korea. I’m sure I didn’t really need to clarify that; the last name Keefe and my general whiteness probably did that for me. But I think it is appropriate to acknowledge from the outset that I am far from an expert. In fact, I didn’t know the name of a single Korean dish until I hit my early twenties. Yes, I was less than worldly.

Nanaimo Bar Stout Cake with Whiskey Ganache

March 17, 2019 2 Comments

In spite of my Irish last name, St. Patrick’s Day never fails to sneak up on me. When March 17th hits I’m generally too preoccupied with emerging from my winter-induced depression to even start thinking about merriment. Does anyone remember these vibrant Matcha Cream Tarts from last year? The recipe I intended to be a St. Patty’s Day delight but I posted them, like, three days late? Yeah, not the best track record. But this year I came prepared with this Nanaimo Bar Stout Cake with Whiskey Ganache. True, I did mean to post it yesterday, but it’s here today and it is delicious.

Pork Stroganoff Pot Pie with Mustard Dill Pastry

March 11, 2019 2 Comments

Things are finally starting to melt here and the spring rain has begun to fall. It’s damp and grey but I am in no way complaining. Just a week ago, our corner of the world was awash with extreme cold weather warnings and black ice galore. I will gladly take a damp chill over an icy blast any day of the week. But although the weather is slowly improving, that doesn’t mean it’s time to ditch the comfort food and bust out the BBQ tongs. If only it were that simple. So, with the rainy season in mind, I bring you this Pork Stroganoff Pot Pie with Mustard Dill Pastry. It’s warm and comforting, sure, but the dill and lemon really brighten things up. Essentially it’s the promise of spring, encased in pastry…or some sort of poetic shit like that.
