Comfort food with an urban flare

I was given the task to “reimagine” a pack of Lime-Habanero flavoured Ramen, so I made something completely off the wall… and for those who know me, know that I’m a huge fan of the “high brow, low brow”
This dish speaks to the spirit, grimy 😵‍💫
Panko Fried Lobster Tail, Lime-Habanero Ramen Foam, Chives and Roe
I took the Ramen, boiled it and puréed it with a whack of butter. Put that lovely mix into a iSi Canister and foamed it up. I fried the lobster tail from fresh, double battered and heavily seasoned with generous amount of squeezed lemon. Topped it off with some Salmon Roe; my friends dad just came back from a fishing trip and gifted me some fresh Roe 🤘. I fried up some left over Ramen Noodles and garnished with some chives as well.. This was a fun little project, tasty af and I gotta say, we ate the s**t out of this dish.
Shout out to my homies at Rily Kitchen ✌️

I recently started my new position at George Brown College as a continuing education instructor; shadowing, training and finally leading my very own class, all within a couple of months! Never in my wildest dreams did I think this was even possible and now, here I am. Hit the ground running…
After disbanding the catering company we worked so hard to build from nothing, working during Covid in various Pastry shops and Restaurants around the city, trying to pave a stable path towards the future, had been a real challenge particularly in recent years.
The last 4-5 years, I’ve been trying to figure out where I fit in all this, how to show up and how to take on foundation building with a sense of responsibility and ownership. I’m here now, rooted in it. I’ve never been more prepared and I have never been more committed in my life (at least, to my knowledge lol).
After all these years in the food industry, regardless, I still have a lot to learn; I tell my students that ‘the culinary world is a wildness and we are discovering it together’. I truly believe that when the student is ready, the teacher appears..
This is my philosophy.
A very special thank to those who help me get to this place over the years at GBC✌️

Smokey, bold and sweet takes the foreground in this dish.
I’m really feeling roasted peppers lately, particularly Poblanos and with the fall flavours in full swing I tend to meld different fruits and vegetables together for a unique flavour pairing. Tartness of the plum brightens up the pepper, crunch of pumpkin seeds with a hint of thyme. I’m about it 💰

Served with a homemade salted Graham Crumb for texture, Sea Buckthorn Foam from the iSi Canister and we slow smoked Strawberries indirectly by by the wood fire for nearly 5 hrs and tossed them in Grand Marnier and Sugar to finish. This was a night to remember, right until the last bite 🍽️

"Hen of the Woods" and Le Puy Lentil Pot Pie, roasted Heirloom Carrots, Candy Stripe Beets and Caulilini with Celery Root Velouté
This autumn season brings out a lot of homestyle cooking for me, naturally.
First off.. the sauce.. jeez. Super velvety. The sauce would mounted with a bold cold pressed Olive Oil, loads of onions and white peppercorns to round out the flavour and texture, it was beautiful. Handmade pie crust with soy free filled with shredded King Oysters, Maitake and French Lentils; keeping the vegan filling moist sometimes can be a challenge so I fortified it with a light grape seed oil. Finally, the side veg included was composed of local heirlooms from the lovely people .

Throwback to that time I was offered to be the guest chef at Stratford Chef School. This was the main that I served along side black eyed peas, callaloo with papaya-pepper sauce. This menu paid tribute to Urban Acorn and the inter-cultural menus I did for partners on their wedding day. Thanks again to all the super talented students who helped and to Chefs Randi () and Chef Mike ( for all the guidance.

I’ve been consuming a lot of pumpkin seeds lately mostly due to their high protein and fibre content but also how delicious they are when toasted! I laminated the dough with dried Sage and enriched the dough with Maple. The result was a soft, and tender finish on the bread with little hints of toasted notes from the Pumpkin Seeds that lingers on the palette.

When I’ve lost focus, or taken things too much for granted, when I’m being an as***le and needed to be called out on it, or needed a that shoulder or a brain to pick with a random question. Marie you’ve always been there for me and supporting me through big and small. Thanks for being the incredible you, you’re one amazing person ♥️
And to all the other amazing women in my life; to all the moms, daughters, sisters, aunts, grandmas, partners, women of colour, LGBTQ+ women and for those that I’ve forgot to mention. Keep being your badass selves 🙌

“𝔽𝕚𝕟𝕟𝕒𝕟 ℍ𝕒𝕕𝕕𝕚𝕖 + 𝕊𝕠𝕦𝕡𝕖 𝕁𝕠𝕦𝕞𝕠𝕦”
🌱Smoked Banana Blossom served on handmade pasta with Pikliz, Ti-Malice Sauce, fried Plantain and Roasted Squash.
We tried to pull elements that have a familiar texture and flavour of these two dishes. I did not shy away from spice in this dish; using habanero in the Ti-Malice sauce. The smoked blossoms was a nod to Finnan Haddie, which is a dish that is traditionally served with smoked Haddock. We had a ton of fun in exploring new flavour profiles and ideas on textures with this menu.

Throwback to 5 years ago when I was on VICE showcasing my Vegan Haggis chops. I’ve been cooking vegan haggis for several years now on multiple different occasions but this one was one for the books.
But today, I took it easy and we ordered from complete with veg Haggis and a flight of Scotch! Absolutely delicious 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
Old Scotland wants no watery stuff,
That splashes in small wooden dishes;
But if you wish her grateful prayer,
Gie er a Haggis!

At Farmhouse tavern () this weekend!
Sugar Tart (Pâte Sucrée) with Sponge Cake and 60 day Honey Fermented Cranberry Jam topped with Icing and that traditional Chocolate Fern Decoration.
Growing up in a Scottish household meant eating Fern Tarts pretty much the whole month of January; Hogmanay to Robbie Burns Day. So naturally, I started making them myself and I’m super excited to have the opportunity to be making them at Farmhouse this weekend!

“Le Galette des Rois” or the “Cake of Kings” is a flat pastry cake with a sweet almond custard (frangipane) which is prepared around January 6th in France (and it’s colonies) to celebrate Epiphany or the Twelfth night. However during the French Revolution, the French revolutionaries changed the name to “Gâteau (Galette) de l’Égalité” or “Cake of the Egalitarian”; in celebration of the overthrow of the French Monarchy and the removal of class hierarchy at the time. Since then, the pastry has reverted back to its original name.
(Still have to work on my scoring, but that’s ok, I’ll hit it next time 😉)

Not going to lie, this was killer. I cultured high fat Coconut Milk to add a sour punch to the dough. Each layer is filled with a spiced apple and cranberry compote, toasted sesame and glazed with cinnamon syrup after baking. My only critique is that there wasn’t more of it lol.
