Japanese Burdock Rice \\\ Riz japonais à la bardane

(version française plus bas!)  The other day, I stumbled upon some burdock root at my favourite produce store. I was really curious to see it sold as a root vegetable, as I am more familiar with the dried root that I use in herbal tea blends. Well, the fresh root is delicious! It has aContinue reading “Japanese Burdock Rice \\\ Riz japonais à la bardane”

Cauliflower fried rice \\ Riz frit de chou-fleur

(version française plus bas!) I love fried rice. I love it so much I usually end up eating two or three portions instead of one every time I cook fried rice. As you can imagine, this is not the healthiest of options and it doesn’t help make you feel light and comfortable. So, I hadContinue reading “Cauliflower fried rice \\ Riz frit de chou-fleur”

Sushi Rice Dip, a recipe review

For a while now I have been addicted to Tasty’s recipe videos. I love their style, the way they edit, and the food the make always looks so good and easy to make.

One-Pan Rice Dish (for lazy days and cooks)

Autumn really is setting in, and with the cold weather, I have been craving comfort food… or deep fried anything.

IContinue reading “One-Pan Rice Dish (for lazy days and cooks)”
