Esquites (Mexican Corn Salad) - One Tough Cookie

http://toughcookieblog.com/esquites-mexican-corn-salad

Culinary adventures, at home and abroad. Esquites (Mexican Corn Salad). Over the winter, Alan and I spent a couple weeks in Chile (which you can read about here. 8221; I asked emphatically — and more than once), he remained far more interested in the sights we were going to see. It wasn’t long before we settled into a nice little lunch joint, and before Alan could open his mouth to say anything to the server, I hissed: “I’ve GOT this” and ordered us two waters. Alan had a very good laugh, indeed. I have ...

Summer's Arrival: tea, mint, lemon, bourbon

http://toughcookieblog.com/summers-arrival-tea-mint-lemon-bourbon

Culinary adventures, at home and abroad. Summer’s Arrival: tea, mint, lemon, bourbon. It’s mid-April, which means there are fuzzy buds on the trees, crocuses nudging up from the earth, and people wandering around in shorts even though it’s barely 15 C. After all this time, it’s a relief to see signs of life again, but (if I may be truly honest) I’m perfectly content to fast-forward through spring all the way until we hit ripe, hot, sweaty summer. What can I say? Summer’s Arrival: tea, mint, lemon, bourbon.

Wholegrain rhubarb crumble bars {vegan} - One Tough Cookie

http://toughcookieblog.com/wholegrain-rhubarb-crumble-bars

Culinary adventures, at home and abroad. Wholegrain rhubarb crumble bars {vegan}. Rhubarb has always been dear to my father’s side of the family — hardly a dinner gathering has gone by without there being my grandmother’s sweetened rhubarb compote to finish off the meal. My dad also grew it in the backyard when we were growing up, and (#canadianproblems) it’s one of the only things you can truly count on to survive the winter and be ready for harvesting in spring. But the third attempt nailed it. Chewy, ...

Honey turmeric lemonade - One Tough Cookie

http://toughcookieblog.com/honey-turmeric-lemonade

Culinary adventures, at home and abroad. Follow my blog with Bloglovin. Last week, I was a dessert-making fiend. Churning out pies and cobblers more quickly than any household of two could consume them, and then giving them away to friends. But life has a funny way of telling you to slow down, and so it did, by way of a week-long neck kink that refused to go away and rendered me essentially useless. But it is summer after all, so I decided to make an icy lemonade version. This honey turmeric lemonade can...

Smashed cucumber salad with blackberries and pistachio - One Tough Cookie

http://toughcookieblog.com/smashed-cucumber-salad-with-blackberries-and-pistachio

Culinary adventures, at home and abroad. Smashed cucumber salad with blackberries and pistachio. I rarely had time to actually read all the books that I was supposed to have read for class (looking at you, Remembrance of Things Past), but that didn’t stop me from near-constantly stopping into the local used book store, you know,. And heading home with another handful of books to permanently neglect. And then I moved four more times. From the cookbooks I’ve got hanging around. A collection of Turkish-insp...

Strawberry rhubarb galette - One Tough Cookie

http://toughcookieblog.com/strawberry-rhubarb-galette

Culinary adventures, at home and abroad. Summer is finally here, which in this particular household means it’s rhubarb stocking season. There will be compote. My friends. There will be fancy, almond-laced tarts. There will be crumble-topped breakfast bars (recipe coming soon), and hopefully pickles, and most importantly there will be a freezer so fully stocked with the future year’s worth of supply that there will be no room for basically anything else. And it lent a lovely depth to the filling. This pos...
