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…
Mediterranean Vegetable Hash with Baked Eggs and Feta
This is an awesome vegetarian brunch option or meatless Monday meal. Just because a recipe features eggs, does that automatically lump it into the breakfast category? Don’t limit your imagination when it comes to this meal, it is equally delicious, regardless of the time of day. Serve with toasted sourdough to sop up the…
Mashed Potato Pancakes
With American Thanksgiving this week, I wanted to give our neighbours to the south a little inspiration for what to do with all those leftovers. They’ll need to fuel up for Black Friday door-crashers. These Mashed Potato Pancakes are the absolute best way to repurpose those leftover mashed potatoes. That is, if you have…
Apple Cranberry Crush

Truffle Parmesan Hasselback Potatoes

The hasselback preparation always impresses guests as the potatoes fan open to allow for strategic flavour enhancements. In this case, garlic, truffle salt, thyme and the all-important,…
Pumpkin French Toast with Pumpkin Butter
If you’re wondering why there is just so much damn pumpkin content on the blog lately, I’ll tell you. First, pumpkin is delicious and its October so you should be craving this seasonal delight at every meal. Second, very few recipes call for an entire can of pumpkin purée, which means you have a…
Kentucky Toddy
Is there anything more satisfying than a nice hot cup of apple cider on a cool autumn day? Yes. Hot apple cider WITH bourbon. #lifehack Bourbon, like butter, makes everything better. Spice makes it extra nice. Cinnamon, ginger, and a squeeze of lemon make this drink a new fall favourite. I’m a sucker for…
Pumpkin Pecan Cake with Brown Butter Icing
SKIP TO RECIPE Taste & Tipple is 1! How my baby has grown. I had long wanted to start a food blog and had no end of encouragement from friends and family. I loved to throw elaborate dinner/cocktail parties that featured challenging technical recipes or new cuisines. I was that girl at the restaurant hovering…
Cranberry Constellation
