My most liked posts of 2021, a year in review. I know that Best Nine has been replaced by video reels, but I'm not there yet. 😅 I still love this retrospective photo format.
.
2021 has given me lots to think about, and reminded me to be grateful for the people and things in my life that ground me, inspire me, lift me up, and soothe me.
.
My top liked photos from this year are a good representation of that! Family and friends are part of almost every photo, as are some local adventures and fulfilling work ❤️
Clockwise from top left:
~me with Chef Dan Hayes of @thelondonchef on the last day their teaching kitchen was open. It was a bittersweet experience, but I was so glad to share it
~my Rhubarb Custard Squares - definitely the most popular recipe on my blog
~a delicious meal we enjoyed at @nikkeiramenya in Courtenay last February at the end of a ski weekend to @mountwashington
~my Butter Chicken Pot Pie on the cover of @eatmag , photographed by the wonderful @rwellmanphoto
~Gluten Free Lemon Feather Cake, the second most popular recipe on my blog
~Landslide Lake, in @strathconapark Vancouver Island, part of a beautiful backcountry camping adventure I did with my step-daughter
~West Coast Nicoise Salad, with wild sockeye salmon and local corn - one of my favourite summer meals (recipe on the blog!)
~Sour Cherry Galette ❤️😍 (I LOVE THIS RECIPE)
~Center: the Chocolate Raspberry Cake I made for my oldest son's 20th (!!) birthday (and have made him almost every birthday of his life)
~ NOTE - this is not a baking blog, you sweet lovers 😂😂😂
.
Thank you for being part of the journey! I wish good things for us all in 2022, the tenacity to weather the bad things, and wisdom to appreciate the smallest joys in our daily lives.

West Coast Winter Wonderland ❄️ Snow is specia

West Coast Winter Wonderland ❄️
Snow is special at any time on Southern Vancouver Island - it only happens a few days a year here. But when snow happens between Christmas and New Year, it's Extra Special 😍
.
I hope you are all enjoying the crisp cold snowy walks outdoors, followed by cozy slippers and warm tea inside. I'll be here all week 😅

The winning Christmas cookies of 2021 are these am

The winning Christmas cookies of 2021 are these amazing Rye Molasses Spice Snaps from @aimeebourque of Simple Bites. I cannot rave enough about these - the texture, the flavour, the perfect spicing 😍
.
The hint of black pepper along with the whole rye flour from @truegrainbread remind me of our family's favourite German pfeffernussen; the molasses and ginger is Christmas in two bites; and the chewy/crisp texture is perfection.
.
Aimee has this posted on her feed and on her website. It's easy to look it up on her website Simple Bites. If you want to replicate my variation perfectly make the following four changes:
1) leave out the tonka bean
2) leave out the balsamic vinegar
3) double the black pepper
4) use melted browned butter instead of vegetable oil (SO GOOD)

This whole fish with pineapple sauce, fried shallo

This whole fish with pineapple sauce, fried shallots and fresh herbs was only one part of our meal tonight. A super delicious, home-made meal with friends, eaten slowly, course by course, over several hours. . . Exactly the evening I needed.
.
It's been a long autumn, friends, filled with too much work, too much rain, lots of stress, and not enough sleep. I've needed a chance to recalibrate and tonight was a good start.
.
The holiday season is upon us, my cooking classes are winding down, and I'm hoping for more nights like this. More opportunities for meaningful connections, more family time, and more slow paced meals (or anything slow paced, to be honest).
.
What are you looking forward to this month?

Autumn garden /// It's officially Canadian Thanksg

Autumn garden ///
It's officially Canadian Thanksgiving today; our family celebrated yesterday and I (happily) did not take a single photo, nor even think to.
🍁
I was in the mood for photos this morning as I toured the garden, soaking it all in, marvelling at how beautiful it is this time of year. Plants are beginning to lay themselves to rest, but still giving so much life and beauty. The dahlias are gorgeous, my chard and kale (both of which I grew from seed!) are thriving, the herbs are still happy, yet so many other things are at their end.
🧡
The transformation at this time of year is almost unspeakably lovely to me. Pumpkin spice and turkey dinners are wonderful, but give me a garden turning slowly to hibernation, its winter greens getting crisper, its flowers giving us one last show, its perennials turning shades of red and brown, the mists and spiderwebs and frosty morning air - yes, many things are dying, but everything is full of promise. The promise of rest, of restoration, of eventual rebirth.
