  The turnip soup with buttermilk was tasty. I halved the recipe with decent success. My only flaw was in not having enough turnips (as I was using up turnips leftover from another recipe) so the soup was a tad thin.

• Upside-down blueberry grunt

  • tmjellicoe on January 26, 2026

    A fairly simple, yet good dessert. I would’ve liked an actual lemon juice measurement rather than “juice of two lemons” as I ended up with a slightly too tart berry portion (ice cream fixed this). For the record, my two lemons had 1/2 cup of juice.

• Three sisters soup

  • tmjellicoe on January 24, 2026

    The flavour of this easy soup is delicious. I don’t think the step of roasting and pureeing the squash is necessary. It made the squash have a dry exterior which was then more difficult to purée. Next time, I’ll just put squash cubes directly into the soup to cook

• Beans Basquaise

  • tmjellicoe on January 25, 2026

    Overall, a tasty dish. The chicken was moist and the beans flavourful. I question the 8 cups of stock added when the beans go into the oven. Check your beans for softness prior, add much less stock, and add more as needed. I used 6 cups and it was way too much.

• Dulse salt-seared pork chops with roasted garlic Mornay

  • lkgrover on July 18, 2024

    Excellent pork chops. The garlic Mornay sauce thickens after it cools down. I used dulse powder instead of leaves.

• Toutons with whipped molasses butter

  • renee_cgkl2e on May 02, 2026

    I made Mamie’s biscuits with the molasses butter. Delicious

• Pea soup

  • meggan on April 03, 2024

    I did not add the espresso salt but this was still good in the way apres Easter split pea soups should be.

• Cod & scrunchions with lemon caper brown butter

  • lkgrover on August 18, 2023

    Delicious fish with lemon-butter sauce. I substituted halibut fillets for cod, and bacon for scrunchions (salt pork fat).

  • tmjellicoe on January 28, 2026

    I loved how the fish cooked up. I thought a 1/4 cup of capers was a little much for my liking so I will reduce that ingredient. I also subbed a splash of olive oil to make up for not making the crispy pork bits (too crunchy for braces at the moment). I also will use this method of frying fish even if I serve it with tartar sauce instead of making the recipe sauce.
