I made this dish for my October book club meeting and it received rave reviews. You can make this in one large casserole dish or six smaller oven-safe dishes – such as a mini cocotte, ramekin, or French onion soup bowl. You could also swap the chicken for leftover turkey – if you’re still making…

Apple Cinnamon French Toast with Aged Cheddar
Do you ever find yourself humbled by an automatic hand dryer? Pleading to be seen, silently screaming, “I exist!” while engaging in a complicated choreography of waving, lunging, squatting, jiggling, and jazz-handing to initiate the drying sequence? Yeah, me too. Anyone who has ever stepped foot in a women’s restroom knows that its operation demands…
Cobra’s Fang & Tiki Giveaway
If you know me at all, you know that I’m obsessed with Tiki. I’ve talked about this at length before so I won’t rehash the finer points of my affection for this kitschy cocktail culture in this post but I am delighted to announce a giveaway that should help indoctrinate you into the world of…
Saddle Up Cocktail
What does it mean to be an adult? It seems like it’s pretty similar to being a millennial kid with helicopter parents except you’re self-subscribing to all those after-work activities – trying to be a well-rounded, contributing member of society. One of the few perks of adulthood is being able to drink, this Saddle Up…
Chinese Fizz
So, earlier this week I posted a recipe for Banoffee Pie to mark the two year blogiversary and was absolutely overwhelmed by the response. It turns out, many of you, like me, are old church ladies who like classic British desserts. Welcome, let’s be friends. As I mentioned in that post, banana desserts have been…

Taste & Tipple turns two! What did you get her? I hope its some bespoke barware or antique cutlery with plenty of patina. The blog can always use more food photography props – from stylish cake plates to crystal-cut coupe glasses. Bonus points if you can also provide storage for said gifts, as things are…
Favourite Fall Recipes
We are in that frustrating time of year when it’s 11 degrees when you leave your house in the morning but it’s 25 by lunch and you’re sweating through your lightweight knitwear and leather jackets. It is a delightful time of year for food and drink however. Hot girl summer is over and we are…
Ginger the Honeypot
Fall is upon us and I’m celebrating the season with moody nail colours, leather jackets, and the return of boots. It also means I’m bringing back spiced, whiskey-based cocktails. Ginger the Honeypot is a rye-based drink made with a spiced honey syrup, Chinese Five Spice bitters, lemon juice, and topped off with punchy Jamaican Ginger…
Tequila Monkey Gland
Pour yourself a glass of this Tequila Monkey Gland, a cocktail that typically calls for gin, which I’ve simply swapped out for this agave based spirit, and settle in for story time. From ages 12 to 17, I lived on a farm. I’m sure the will come as a shock to many of you who…
Bee’s Knees Cocktail
Let me start off by saying, I’m sorry Mom, Mom’s friends, and Dad. This instalment of Taste & Tipple isn’t personal. The Bee’s Knees is a classic gin cocktail with a name that reminds me of the kind of description a boomer would use to characterize a fledgling romance, “Oh, he just thinks you’re the…
