Matcha Ube Chia Pudding {Vegan}

The obsession continues. Though this week I learned that I’ve been confused. And probably wrong. But hey, what else is new??? Turns out the things that I’ve been calling “ubes” are maybe actually not ubes. One of my friends, who is is of Philippino decent, Read more

Ube Swirl Bread {Vegan}

My obsession with ubes waxes and wanes, but it’s always there in the background. Living in a city with a large Asian population helps. Vancouver is pretty in love with ubes, and they pop up in many restaurants and bakeries around the city. Elmo Baking Read more

We’ve had an unexpected brush with winter here on the West Coast, which left us in a deep freeze for about a week, and resulted in a snow day. Now if you live pretty much anywhere East of where I live in Vancouver, snow and Read more

Vegan Chocolate Graze Board for Valentine’s Day

Roasted Celeriac with Mushroom Gravy

It’s Christmas later this week, and when you don’t eat meat, there’s always a question: what do you eat? What’s the centrepiece of your meal? Growing up, it was always a turkey or a ham. In my younger days on my own, it was cornish Read more
