West End Epicure: Homemade Butter
http://westendepicure.blogspot.com/2011/02/butter.html
Two West Coast Expats Explore the Food and Fare of Nova Scotia. Thursday, March 10, 2011. Do you fall on the butter or the margarine side of the debate? If you are a margarine consumer you may want to do some research and reconsider your choice. Trans fats, polyunsaturated fats, hydrogenated oils, not exactly something that you could make yourself at home. If you have, than you've already started the butter making process. That simple! Continue this process, kneading and changing the water with fresh wat...

http://westendepicure.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Two West Coast Expats Explore the Food and Fare of Nova Scotia. Thursday, February 2, 2012. Where have you been, West End Epicure? And more importantly, where have you been, crepes? That's right. Those sneaky little french pancakes you pay $8 for at the farmer's market. I'm going to show you how to make them. Not only are these little things easy to make, there are few things as tasty, or as versatile. The wide, flat surface the "crepier" cooks the crepe on? 2 tbsp butter - melted. Except the first one, ...

Two West Coast Expats Explore the Food and Fare of Nova Scotia. Monday, September 20, 2010. Off the Hook - Pt. II. With the first season of Off the Hook officially over, I thought I would share what I found to be my favorite haddock preparation after weeks of trying different recipes. What follows is deceptively simple, fast and fiendishly good. Sherwood St. Haddock. Kosher salt and pepper (throw that table salt out already! You couldn't prepare a box of kraft dinner in this amount of time. My interpreta...

Two West Coast Expats Explore the Food and Fare of Nova Scotia. Sunday, January 30, 2011. The Best Beef in Nova Scotia. A lot of people have been asking me where I buy my beef from. So I'm going to tell you, along with the story of how I found it. Kelly and I visited Highview Farm in October 2009. The cattle live outdoors year round and feed on natural grass and hay. Many of the cows have names and they are treated on the farm like pets. Here Kelly is getting to know "Ruby" the cow. Highview Farms beef i...

Two West Coast Expats Explore the Food and Fare of Nova Scotia. Sunday, July 18, 2010. Another of those unforgettable dishes for me was a pork and duck fat rillettes which I've had the pleasure to enjoy a number of times at Salade de Fruits Cafe in Vancouver. If you haven't been, I do highly recommend should you be living in or visting Vancouver. Cash only! 2 lbs good quality pork belly. 1 lb good quality pork shoulder (do not buy from grocery store, you will be disappointed, speaking from experience).

Two West Coast Expats Explore the Food and Fare of Nova Scotia. Tuesday, June 22, 2010. Garrison Stout Chocolate Cake. Dessert is not something we indulge in on a regular basis, but every now and then it's a must! The beer diary poured ideas my way and with the aid of the Internet a chocolate cake was taking shape. I found what I thought to be a recipe worthy of undertaking and made my way to the local microbreweries. I needed the perfect secret ingredient! The all important stout. 2 cups unsalted butter.
