The dawn of April brings not only a new month, but a new year of blogging for me. I started writing here toward the end of March 2009, and accidentally missed my one-year “blogiversary” last week. I’ve got some big ideas and plans for the next 12 months of the Kitchenist Network, but until then, here’s what went on in March. Read more…

February round-up
February was month which brought both good and bad for the Kitchenist Network. I’ve been taking a blogging course (don’t laugh, it’s been awesome) which has provided me with ideas and inspiration for my blogs. Ironically, it’s also been taking my time away from blogging. Throw a new job into the equation, and posting overall has been light. Still, there was some posting going on, so here’s what I got up to in February. Read more…
January round-up
One down, eleven to go. The first month of the year is over and done, and it certainly brought its share of challenges for me. I’m looking forward to happier and more productive months to come, but in the meantime- here’s what went down on the Kitchenist Network in January. Read more…
Guest Post at The Beat That My Heart Skipped: Vegetable Pot Pie with Dumplings
Psst, you- in need of a recipe to chase away the January blues? Well, you haven’t exactly come to the right place, but I can direct you there. I’ve a second guest post up at The Beat That My Heart Skipped, the fab new UK design and lifestyle blog. This time it’s a seasonal Veggie Pot Pie with Dumplings on the menu- perfect for warming you up during these dreary days. I’d love for you to check it out and leave me a comment over there!
Veg Hiatus
Hello, all! Just a quick note to let you know that I’m on a blogging break until the middle of next week, which applies to all my blogs. The passing of my 97-year-old grandmother means that now is a time for family and friends rather than food (though I’m sure there’ll be a lot of that, too). Not to worry, though- I am doing fine and looking forward to getting back in the kitchen next week!
December round-up
Today brings not only a new month, but a new year! While many of my favourite bloggers are posting 2009 round-ups around now, I think I’ll stick with my old monthly post for continuity’s sake.
It’ll be a short and sweet one, anyway: I didn’t get much blogging done in December. The last month of the year brings so much festivity, stress and general hustle and bustle that anything else- blogging, exercise, sanity- can easily fall by the wayside. I did manage to post a little bit over the past four weeks, so let’s see what went down on my blogs. Read more…
November round-up
December has finally arrived, and brings with it short, dark days, comfort foods, holiday baking and of course- Christmas! But before I delve into all that, let’s take some time to look back at the last month. Here’s what went on at Kitchenist and beyond in the month of November. Read more…
Guest Post: The Beat That My Heart Skipped
Just dropping in to let you all know about my guest post at The Beat That My Heart Skipped, a new UK design blog by stylist Rohini Wahi. Covering interiors, product design, travel, book reviews and food, this site is a great of source of daily inspiration. I was contacted by Food Editor Louise to contribute to the weekly food feature.
The recipe I’ve shared, Slow-Baked Beans with Maple Syrup, is perfect for Autumn: sweet, spicy and soul-warming. I’d love for you to head over and check it out- I hope you like it!
October round-up
It’ll be a short one; I took a good chunk of time off from blogging last month, to make way for my holiday back home to Canada. Still, I did manage to squeeze in some blogging in October- here’s what I got up to over the past four weeks. Read more…
Kitchenist on holiday
I had hoped to get another recipe posted before I fly off on holiday tomorrow, but with all the running around I’ve been doing I haven’t even had a chance to eat, let alone write about food.
That will surely change tomorrow, though- I’m off for ten days of family, relaxation, and yes- wonderful food. (Though my Mum still can’t get her head around my vegetarianism- I have a feeling I’ll be doing rather of a lot of “picking the meat out” over the next few days.) My trip back home covers both Canadian Thanksgiving and a good friend’s wedding, so hopefully I’ll have some delicious stories to share when back in London on the 19th.
Until then, bon appétit!
