The Week in Yum - A Supper Club and Dog Love


Aguadito de Pollo, our main course at The Dep
Apart from a busy Saturday night at the Dep, it was a slow, boring week in Yum people. It’s a good thing because I only have an iPad until my new laptop arrives and it’s impossoble to post anything much longer than this on it. 


The week started out with a bang. On Saturday night, I hosted a sold out Supper Club at The Deppaneur where diners feasted on some of my favourite Peruvian inspired dishes like Aguadito de Pollo, Butter Poached Shrimp with Aji Verde and a Pisco Tres Leches cake. Supper Club nights are among my favourite things. Unlike pop ups with all the the stress of a hectic dinner service, supper clubs have the relaxed pace of a big dinner party. I find the day of shopping and cooking a huge meal very relaxing and by the end of the night, I feel like I have just fed my 24 new best friends.
My beast for a week


Not much happened in food after that BUT I did have the honour of pooch sitting Master Tucker Roach, the noble bulldog belonging to my friend, Libby Roach. I spent most of my week taking videos of him snoring and non stop photo documentation of his hourly position changes while he slept the days away.

I put my makeup artist hat on to groom the two young stars from the upcoming movie, Shazam and that was fun. I also had some delicious ramen at Momofuku since we were based at the Shangrila hotel. Other than that it was just ng around, lounging with Tucker and watching way too much Swedish television. 

This week, I watched the Swedish thriller series, Black Lake on Sundance Now. I subscribe to a number of streaming services and I always forget about this one but they have a ton of great programming, from indie movies to international series like Black Lake.

Vietnamese Chicken Meatballs

Image
I have had a serious craving for bun - if you eat Vietnamese food, you know what I'm talking about. A bowl with crisp, shredded romaine lettuce, cold rice noodles, lots of chopped dry roasted peanuts, fresh mint and cilantro, shredded carrots, cucumbers and some sort of sticky, sweet bbq meat that you pour nuoc chom over and then scarf it all down like a maniac because it's so refreshingly delicious that you can't stand it?? Okay, if you don't eat Vietnamese food and don't know what I'm talking about, go find some. Honestly. So my quest today was to make some but I didn't feel like tackling the bbq pork today but The Kid loves meatballs so I thought I would whip up some sort of Vietnamese meatballs out of ground chicken and do a kind of   Bun Ga Nuong . The only thing I was worried about was the sticky, caramelized glaze on the outside when I found this recipe on the Food and Wine web site.  It's from a cook book called Small Bites by Jennifer J...

Travel Diary : Toronto to Nova Scotia 2021- First Stop, Montreal

Image
 Hello my lovlelies! The family is on our first vacation in almost two years and it's a covid friendly affair. Not ready for international travel, airports and sharing air for 8 hours, we threw our Segway Ninebot Max scooters on the roof of the car and headed east. We stopped in Montreal for the first night, thinking we would just get up early and continue on our way. HAH who is going to bitch about burrata and rose outdoors? Like that was going to happen. I booked us into the brand, spanking new Hotel St Thomas on Sherbrooke, we dropped all of our crap into the ginormous room and hit the road on the scooters. It was a Monday night, which means just about any restaurant I would want to visit is closed so we did the only thing you can do in on a Monday.... we went to Old Montreal and grabbed an outdoor table at Bevo Bar and had a lovely bottle of Rose, some pizza and apps, perfect after a long day of driving. Once we woke up, we all knew we wanted to stay another night so I took ca...

Sous Vide Pork Souvlaki

Image
I love the idea of pork souvlaki. I love the flavours, I love the charcoal flavour that the grill imparts and I love any meat that gets dipped in lots of tzatziki. What I don't love is dry, leathery meat and, unfortunately, that is almost always the case when people try to cook small chunks of lean meat over the grill. That's where sous vide comes in. I just made my regular marinade and instead of cutting the pork into bite sized pieces, I cut my pork tenderloins into 1" slices and then after 24 hours of soaking in the fridge, I sous vide them before cutting some of the disks into chunks and skewering them (I left half of them as is and grilled the medallions, which worked even better) right before we threw them on the grill for a quick char. I finally have my perfect pork souvlaki - tender, moist (OH MY GOD THAT HORRIBLE WORD AGAIN) and with all the wonderful souvlaki flavours but without the dry, overcooked bits that are almost unavoidable when you grill them fro...
