One of the primary focuses of Foodie Foray will be to share some of our favourite recipes. Over the years we’ve had the opportunity to enjoy some amazing dishes, and we’d be remiss if we didn’t pass these along to our foodie followers.

  • Lemon + Blueberry Sourdough Scones

    Lemon + Blueberry Sourdough Scones

    I’m usually not a big fan of sweets – especially for breakfast – but the first time I tried these Lemon Blueberry Sourdough Scones I was hooked. Drizzled with sweet, lemony goodness these scones are surprisingly light and buttery, and are bursting with fresh berry flavour. They are perfect as part of breakfast feast and…

  • Twice Baked Potatoes

    Twice Baked Potatoes

    This “twice-baked” potato recipe has been a family favourite for as long as I can remember. Even when the kids were small they used to request this as part of their special birthday dinners – and they still do! The recipe itself is a delicious take on the traditional baked potato that elevates the old…

  • Sourdough Crusty Rolls

    Sourdough Crusty Rolls

    This is yet another great use of a sourdough starter. This recipe gets a little help from regular yeast, but yields all that great flavour that you’re used to getting from sourdough. I really like it because it also has a touch of sweetness that reminds me of the “Sticky Buns” that my Great-Grandmother used…

  • Smoked Trout with Orange + Maple Drizzle

    Smoked Trout with Orange + Maple Drizzle

    We first tried a smoked trout appetizer at Supply & Demand restaurant and were immediately hooked. Since then we’ve been substituting fresh trout for salmon and couldn’t be happier with the results. This fish is tender, flaky, and incredibly flavourful, as well as super easy to prepare. This particular dish uses a smoking method with…

  • Sticky Sesame Cauliflower Wings

    Sticky Sesame Cauliflower Wings

    We’ve been enjoying a dish very similar to this one at the very popular Pure Kitchen restaurant here in Ottawa for the past couple of years and have been trying out different ways to recreate it. We tried deep frying, sauteing, and even an air fryer method, but none of our attempts came close to…

  • Simple Steak Marinade

    Simple Steak Marinade

    I’ve never been a big fan of marinades – especially for steak. I’d say I’m a bit of a purist and feel that it’s better to let the natural flavour of a protein shine through and stand on it’s one. That said, there are certainly some – flank steak for example – where a good…

  • Classic Sourdough Bread

    Classic Sourdough Bread

    There’s just something so satisfying about making fresh bread. Some would say that it’s the amazing smell that fills the house when it’s baking, others would argue that it’s the outstanding freshness of loaves when you eat them. I’d like to say that it’s both – and then some.

  • Honey + Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls

    Honey + Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls

    Topped with a super delicious cream cheese icing, these Honey Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls are a perfect breakfast bite, afternoon snack, or post-dinner dessert. They offer a unique mix of spice, sweetness, and crispy texture and you’ll find it hard to eat just one.
