I think brunch is the most difficult meal to pull off. I know that may sound surprising but I think any meal centered around eggs becomes a race against time. Cooking is a lot like comedy, it all comes down to timing. And this is especially true when it comes to brunch. Poached eggs, fried eggs, bacon, and pancakes. All of these classic brunch items have different cook times and are difficult to make in bulk on a four-burner stove. Perhaps this is why we have to wait in those ponderously long lines for brunch at our favorite spot. Pulling off a delicious brunch at home can be a delicate operation but it is certainly not impossible. So let me show you how to make Kedgeree Fish Cake Eggs Benny at home while maintaining your sanity.

I know spring has sprung but I live in Canada. Spring doesn’t really happen here until mid-April if we’re lucky. Sure, we have the odd good day here and there but a stretch of positive temperatures is not our current reality. And to make matters worse, I find I’m more prone to a chill during fake spring than I am when we’re in the depths of winter. It’s probably because every time the thermometer ventures further south than 5°C, I consider cropped jeans a sensible choice. They never are. By 5 pm the temperature plummets and I’m left with a pair of cold ankles and regret. That’s why I’m still stuck on cozy recipes like today’s Chicken Curry Pot Pies. These petit pies are powerful ankle warmers, and I’m speaking from experience here.

Whole roasted cauliflower recipes have been making the rounds on the Internet for quite a few years now and for good reason. A head of cauliflower is not only strangely beautiful, but it’s also oddly satisfying. And on top of that, it’s pretty much a blank canvas. Nothing absorbs flavor quite like a cauliflower. I know it’s easy to distrust the deliciousness of cauliflower. The vegetable has been enlisted to play roles it was never meant to play. Masquerading as rice and even bread products, which are “close” to the real deal at best and disappointing at worst. But I promise this Roasted Cauliflower Rarebit will not disappoint you.

Salads rarely inspire backflips. At least that is my experience. I know there are people who adore salads and I am so happy for them. But I am sadly not one of them. But I do believe in the virtues of frequently munching on leafy greens. So when my body starts screaming for spinach and/or kale, I keep my tastebuds happy by adding a hefty dose of either cheese, nuts, meats, or carbs. I rarely put all four into a single salad because that sort of defeats the purpose of having a salad. But in the case of today’s Chorizo Kale Salad with Fingerling Potatoes I pulled meat and potatoes off of the bench and unsurprisingly they took the baby kale base to a whole new level. The chimichurri dressing certainly didn’t hurt either.
