    Recipe: Simple Salmon Cure

    The Covid-19 situation has removed the possibility for going out, which can make dinner a little less appealing as most of the time we cook simple meals for ourselves and not anything overtly fancy unless we have guests or its a special occasion. Making special meals, while maybe a bit more effort, at least makes me feel a little better throughout this time. They do say people are making more bread with all this time. I’m making cured salmon and trying restaurant recipes at home. So heres a recipe for a really simple cured salmon I think you might enjoy. It can be paired with any number of sides (the…

    Recipe: Citrus-Miso Scallops

    Our first recipe! Look I get it, you’re probably thinking “oh jeez not another rambling story about the inspiration behind this meal can we get to the recipe already?” I’ve been there. I’m sure a lot of people like reading them but it’s not for me. I promise that these inspiration bites are going to be short. I won’t go through the whole thought process and I’ll stick to the good stuff.  I get a lot of my inspiration from Pinterest searches on Food Photography. I try to find ones with a recipe attached and then wing it just a touch. Food should be about flavour and playfulness. I mean…
