Fava Bean Quinoa Salad with Feta and Herbs

May 30, 2019 No Comments

There is nothing on this planet that I love more than a pasta salad with an obnoxious amount of garlic. But as good as pasta is, and it is good, sometimes it’s just not the right choice for the job. When you’re looking for something semi-refreshing, for instance, pasta is not your man. Yes, pasta is my love language and yes, it is soul satisfying but it isn’t exactly light even in its chilled format. Enter quinoa, the perfect pasta stand-in for any and all would-be pasta salads. Take today’s Fava Bean Quinoa Salad for instance. You could replace the quinoa with pasta but doesn’t it feel that much more BBQ-side-appropriate with quinoa? Am I crazy? Wait! Don’t answer that.

Iceberg Wedge Salads with Port Poached Figs & Roquefort Dressing

February 2, 2019 No Comments

Congratulations! You made it through January. Bonus points if you made it through Canadian January. I know we’re not out of the woods yet – February is not exactly a sunny walk in the park. But when January dies, I remember winter months actually do come to an end. It’s all very encouraging. But we still have February to wade through, so let’s keep the comfort coming. Today I offer delicious solace in the form of a Roquefort-packed dressing draped over Iceberg Wedge Salads. Retro to be sure, but delicious nonetheless. Welcome to the first installment of Rhubarb & Cod’s Steakhouse Series.

Bún chả Lettuce Cups with Mung Bean Noodles

January 22, 2019 No Comments

This week it got well and truly cold in Toronto. Layers and lots of them have been my priority all week long. But when I wasn’t willing my jeans to close over my second pair of long johns, I was thinking about places that are not here. Places where there’s no need for parkas, where flowers are in bloom 365 days a year, places where you can contemplate eating something other than chili night after night. Something like these Bún chả Lettuce Cups with their light, crisp texture and simultaneously rich and refreshing flavors. I’ll admit posting these beauties in the midst of winter isn’t the best idea I’ve ever had. But hey! There’s nothing wrong with a little culinary escapism. So crank the heat, swap your snow pants for something fluorescent, and crack a beer. We’re going to pretend we’re anywhere but here.

Thai Beef Salad with Cara Cara Oranges & Chili Lime Vinaigrette

January 15, 2019 2 Comments

Listen, I get it, the Internet needs another Thai Beef Salad recipe like I need another labneh post, but I don’t care, it’s just the rebel in me. I wanted to share this recipe with you because I love it deeply, passionately, obsessively. Also, it’s kind of healthy and there’s still a lot of January to get through and, let’s face it, I ’m not swimming in healthy recipe ideas. My brain is generally awash with fried chicken and the like. So, although you don’t need it, although you didn’t ask for it, I’m going to give you MY recipe for Thai Beef Salad and you’re going to sit there and take it…or just click away. Don’t click away.
