Zoe & Kyle's Culinary Adventure

Made a carrot cake for no good reason.

Zoë made a horse cake for a friend's birthday.

Dinner last night, P.L.A.T. ! (Housemade) Pastrami, lettuce, avocado & tomato. YESSSSSSSSSS.

Some nights we have chicken fingers & fries for dinner.

Check it out! We'd be really happy if you voted for us.

Last night's dinner. Marty Lopez brought us some fresh bread, so we had sandwiches.

We enjoyed some cippoline onions stuffed with sausage at Cascina Spinasse this evening in Seattle.

Making scalloped potatoes & drinkin' prosecco

You like salad? We got salad!

For dinner last night Zoë made Lamb Tagine with saffron cous cous & roasted root veggies. It was good, REAL GOOD!

Here's a time lapse video of Zoe rolling out the top for her chicken pie and sealing up said pie.

Zoe got it in her head that she really needed to make puff pastry, I'd be a fool to try and stop her, so here's the outcome.

The last of the figs we picked on Monday are going into tonight's post work dinner. Seared duck breast with a fig-caramelized onion & raspberry sauce and corn on the cob.

Dinner tonight. We affectionately refer to it as "Super Yummy Soba Noodle Salad". Soba noodles, loads of fresh local veggies, avocado, cashews & seared local albacore tuna, all dressed in a pungent ginger-sesame vinaigrette.

Working on day off breakfast.

Zoë made pozole for dinner tonight. It's a pork, hominy and green chili stew. Very fresh, very delicious.

Some after work snacks.

Up close and personal with Zoë's fried chicken.

Fried chicken, buttermilk biscuits, spicy melon & feta salad, apricot-habanero jelly and a little bit of Bella Wines sparkling Gamay as the perfect pairing. Monday night off food around our place.

Cornmeal pound cake with BC blueberries & vanilla ice cream.

Making Lasagna for our good friend Paul's birthday. Man, Zoë works fast!

It's a Family Day feast!

Pork shoulder night tonight.

Vancouver Island Summer Succotash, cornbread & fried chicken

Not sure whether grilling this or eating it is the bigger adventure.

Our friends Adam and Julie were visiting from Canmore, so we decided to do something a little different, and make a duck pie.

The adventure is getting too big to manage on our own.

Had a great brunch at Camille's today. We were sort of sad that there are no major brunch holidays until New Year's Day. We need a fall brunch occasion.

We've been quiet for awhile, but the culinary adventure continues as we have found a new home, for our cooking, in Victoria. We have joined the team at Padella Italian Bistro and are now heading up the kitchen there. Seems like a great reason to come down to Estevan Village and enjoy some of our classic Italian cuisine, hope to see you soon.

Gotta do some shopping for this week's menu, still time to get in on it, send us a message if you're interested.

Great people growing great food. Why not support local?

There is so much delicious food in our refrigerator right now!

We bought some oxtail, and I wanted to make something I have never made before, and here it is. This recipe is simple and tasty.
