MATSUTAKE 🍄 love. It's no secret that Matsutakes are my fave 💕 so when I came across some while grocery shopping over the weekend I had to indulge. With the beautiful mushrooms I decided to try to different preparations. 1. I made Matsutake Gohan (Pine Mushroom Rice). This was super easy to make and turned out really well. You can really taste the fragrance of the mushroom in the rice. 😍 I would definitely make this again if I can get my hands on more Matsutake. 2. I also attempted to make Matsutake Soup with shrimp, chicken and made from scratch dashi. I didn't have the special dobin teapot, nor a teapot that I could steam with for that matter so I improvised and used a casserole, covered it and steamed the soup in my @instantpotofficial. The soup turned out ok but didn't have as much pine mushroom flavour as I would have wanted. #homecooking #homemade #madefromscratch #matsutakemushroom #matsutakeseason #matsutakegohan #japanesefood #yyceats #yycfood #yyxlivingGrateful to have celebrated another Thanksgiving prime rib feast with the famjam. #thanksgiving #thanksgivingdinner #primerib #homecooking #homemade #yyceats #yycfood #yycliving #albertabeef #lovecdnbeefSUKIYAKI at home // One of the most memorable meals I had in Japan earlier this year was the sukiyaki that I had in Hakodate with some of the best A5 wagyu that I had on the trip. It's crossed my mind many times to try to recreate it at home. It was surprisingly easy and tasted great especially for a first attempt. Besides the Japanese Wagyu slices which I got from @trueworldfoodscalgary, I also picked up some @brant_lake_wagyu Chuck Roll Slices from @tt_supermarket, fresh shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushroom, shimeji mushroom, some Tong Ho (Crown Daisy), a bottle of Sukiyaki Sauce base, and a package of Malony Harusame noodles. I would have preferred Mizuna but it's not an easy find here and the Tong Ho actually worked well as a substitute. I really liked the Harusame noodles as they stay firmer for a lot longer in the hot broth. And my @lecreusetcanada Braiser was the perfect vessel for the task. Those Japanese Wagyu slices totally make the dish. 💯 That marbling tho!!! 😍😍😍 They are great for satisfying my cravings until my next trip to 🇯🇵 . #homecooking #homemade #sukiyaki #japanesefood #japanesehotpot #hotpot #yyceats #yycfood #yycliving #wagyubeefCan't tell you how stoked I was that my favorite 🍕 was on feature @noblepiepizza. It's been WAY too long since I last got my fix. The Magic Pie with tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, house fennel sausage, garlic, cream, fresh basil & parmigiano is by far my fave 😍 from their whole lineup. 💯 #yycsbest #yyceats #yycfood #yycliving #pizzalove #pizza #nystylepizza #noblepiepizza #myfave #pizzaislifeThat Egg Yolk Raviolo that @pigeonholeyyc is featuring for @pastalafeasta is fantastic! 😍 Filled with spinach & ricotta and finished with brown butter & sage, it was easily my favorite bite of the evening! This feature is on for a limited time (until Oct 25th) with $3 of every raviolo sold going to @goodfoodyyc. Other delicious bites we had included Tagliatelle with Braised Beef Ragout, @deepwaterfarms Kale with Pecorino Vinaigrette & Crispy Buckwheat, Wagyu Beef Tartare with charred lemon & parmigiano, Arctic Char Larb, Atlantic Cod Puttanesca with pangrattato & mint, Carosello 🥃, and of course, we couldn't resist the Warm Lavender Madeleines. 💕 #yyceats #yycfood #yycliving #eggyolkraviolo #pasta #pastalafeasta #plfchallenge #pigeonholeyyc #pastalove #ravioloDeerioca Fever Puff FTW! 🙌🏻 Went back to @thealley.ca to try this Deerioca Fever Puff thanks to @louisalam007's recommendation! Definitely my fave so far out of the Deerioca drinks I've tried. That custard pudding topping is 👌🏻! And the brown sugar pearls were nice and soft this time! 😍 #yyceats #yycfood #yycliving #chinatownyyc #dessert #bubbletea #bbt #deerioca #thealleyyyc #custardpuddingStarting this week, @one18empire at the @calgarymarriott has just launched a new Fall Menu. We got a sneak peek at some of delicious bites from chef @kaede_1980's new menu: 1. Sous Vide Salmon with lime coconut broth - this was definitely a crowd favorite! 😍😍😍 2. Coffee Rubbed Brisket Molé 3. Queso Fresco Dip 4. Roasted Root Vegetable Salad . . #hosted #yyceats #yycfood #yycliving #yycnow #one18empire #fallmenu #sneakpeak #newmenu #fallflavorsHad loads of fun at the Smoked Cocktail Class hosted by @spiritswithsmoke last week at @one18empire, located within @calgarymarriott. We learned how to make two of my favorite whiskey cocktails. 😍 1. My first attempt at the signature #one18empire Black Walnut Old Fashioned 🥃 - this is my favorite Old Fashioned in town; can't wait to try making this at home. 2. My first attempt at a Whiskey Sour. I'm super stoked at how well it actually turned out 3. The cocktail class setup 4. This was very much a hands-on class where we each got to make the drinks at our own station 5. We got to sample One18's special hand selected @knobcreek Single Barrel Reserve 6. Learning how to smoke the glass from Antonio. 🔥 We got a lot of helpful tips on how to make the cocktails at this class! 7. That meringue tho! 👌🏻 8. A whiskey sour made by the pro, Antonio. 💯 9. Home Cocktail Smoking Kit that you can purchase from #spiritswithsmoke website that includes 5 different aromatic woods, maple syrup, bitters, ice mould, bar spoon and wooden muddler. . . Thanks so much for the invite @spiritswithsmoke! #hosted . . #yycevents #yyceats #yycfood #yyccocktails #bourboncocktails #bourbonlove #whiskeyOutstanding desserts to cap off the @dandyalesyyc x @biera_yeg collaboration dinner! @merritt_gordon's smokey Lapsang Poached Pears with rosemary & walnuts was a knockout flavour combination 😍😍😍. But the most unique dessert of all was @chrysteen_'s Charred Porcini 🍄 Cheesecake with bread caramel. Simply AMAZING! 💕 Would never have dreamt of having MUSHROOMS FOR DESSERT!!! And I loved that the bread caramel was really well-balanced and not too sweet! 👌🏻 #yyceats #yycfood #yycevents #yycliving #collaborationdinner #dandyalesyyc #dandytastingroom #bierayeg #dessert #sweettooth
