Uni with Yuzu Gelée

Thumbnail image for Uni with Yuzu Gelée

This doesn’t happen often, but I’ve been at a total loss as to what to name this dish. It’s not quite a salad, not quite a ceviche, and not quite a terrine. Sure, I could have just stretched the definition a bit to fit the dish, but it always irks me when people go naming [...]

Hamachi with yuzu and olive oil

This is actually one of my favourite ways to have sashimi. It’s so simple and light, somewhere between carpaccio and ceviche. The 2 types of yuzu add a phenomenal flavor with a floral tartness form the juice and a bit of green spice from the yuzu kosho. The salt crystals, provide little bursts of brine [...]

If you’re not a big fan (or even if you are a fan) of the starchy mayonnaise that usually passes for potato salad, give this recipe a try. It’s much less creamy and if you’re totally anti-mayo, you can just omit it and replace it with an equal amount of olive oil. It’s lemony, with [...]

Honey lemon cauliflower

March 9, 2008

This a great accompaniment to a roast and can be cooked in the oven at the same time as the roast. The tart lemon and sweet honey almost pickle this cauliflower while the heat softens it. It’s even better the next day once the flavor has soaked into florets.
1 small head cauliflower florets separated

Grapefruit Guacamole

I’m a big fan of simple citrusy guac and grapefruit goes especially well with avocados. The tart sweetness along with the slight bitter edge offset the creamy smoothness of the avocados well. Pickling the onions first keep them from overpowering the citrus and the cilantro adds a freshness that rounds out the guac nicely.
