So the holiday season can bring out the best in people-or the worst. All that giving, and sharing, and generosity…All that eating, and drinking, and laughing…Songs about peace on earth…Family reunited…It’s enough to bring a tear to your eye. On the flip side, you have all that petty bullshit, and family drama…Passive aggressive relatives, snide…

Don’t Judge a Food by its Colour
I made two Thug Kitchen recipes (somewhat) recently but haven’t been able to blog about them till now. The flu got in the way, knocked me out good. Though this was no normal flu. There’s only one way to describe it… Picture a boxing ring. There’s a fight on. It’s YOU vs. THE FLU. It’s shameful how you’re…
Pop Till You Feel Better
I made some delicious Thug Kitchen recipes the other day. The lemony red lentil soup, (p. 85) and the white bean and rosemary hummus. (p.109) Am I gonna blog about them today? Nope. Why? Because I gots the flu, that’s why. So what takes way less effort? Making popcorn, bitches. Thug style. (aka stove top herb popcorn – page 116.) CONFESSION…
A Mouthful of “Hygge”
First, what the fuck is ‘hygge’? Defining the concept of ‘hygge’ is quite a crazy task. There is no one word in English that this Danish word can be equated to. I’ve heard it loosely translated as ‘cosiness’ before. But it’s so much more than that. It’s an atmosphere, a state of mind. * Hygge is wearing warm home-knitted socks…
Chocolate Dipped Tangerines: Seasonal or Seductive?
Hey Mr. Tambourine man, can you dip my tangerines, man? So this whole Christmas thing is really happening. I was having a small freak out about only having cooked about 47 recipes out of the 115…and heading towards the second half of this challenge, with still about 68 recipes to go. My friend, reassuringly said, ‘it’s okay, over…
Get Your Nuts Out and Make These Sandwiches
These Smoked Almond and Chickpea Salad Sandwiches are a favourite of mine and I’ve made them countless times. They always turn out AMAZING. So if you haven’t made these bad boys yet, turn to page 53 of the first Thug Kitchen cookbook, and get your freak on. In psychology there’s a well-known phenomenon called the Observer…
Tofu and Kitchen Disasters
So since starting this blog I have managed to burn rice, savagely over-spice soup, ruin ravioli, set off the fire alarm in the middle of a dinner, drop a bunch of glasses and smash them to smithereens, break a plate and now this “mysterious” mark has appeared on my wax table- cloth. Am I talented or…
