Well, I never got any shots of the food... but at least I got one comin and goin. What a magical night in a magical place filled with magical people like farmers and chefs who make magic happen on your plate every day. Thank you @rivercafeyyc for honouring the hardest working people I know at this year’s harvest dinner. Proud to be repping @mitchellbrosbeef with my lovely date @thekiradunlop and honoured to be surrounded by the best in the business. #yycfood #yyceats #albertafood #knowyourfarmer #knowyourfood #local #farmtofork #sustainable #eatlocal #gratitude

Over the years, the importance of Sunday Family Dinners has grown into necessity for me. Families are dynamic, shifting and changing by circumstance or choice, mine included. But through the ebbs and flows of family life, a constant can always be the dinner table. Gathering, connecting, and being grateful for each other and the good food that connects us together, no matter what. This first photo is a page from the book that has been the one of the most influential on my family through its growth and change. I’ve written about The Family Dinner Book by Laurie David before, but I picked it up again today and it fell open to this page. Like it was meant to. Because what knits my family together on Sundays as we laugh and talk at the dinner table is gratitude for each other, and the grace that falls softly on us all as we share good food. #familydinner #sundaydinner #dinnertable #eattogether #family #gratitude #grace

It’s been a year. #gorddownie

Some days, yer just too tired to cook. I get it. This meal tho, took 15 minutes max. And it’s so good. It helps that the veggies are #seasonal and fresh. #Grateful for that. It helps that the protein is #grassfed, because you can eat so much less and feel so much better. But. It also helps that it was made without stress, or #pretentious #attitude about food or cooking. No little fussy #miseenplace bowls. No super fancy knife tricks. It’s just #simple. It’s #nourishing. And it’s delicious. You can do it. You really can. Come cook with me in January at the Tastemarket if you’re new to it. We’ll learn and chill together in the kitchen! #cook #eat #cookingclasses #yyceats #yyccooks #cookathome #nutritioncoach

This gorgeous chili oil made our African Peanut Soup sooooo perfect for dinner tonight. So spicy and warming, it made my heart beat faster, kicked the metabolism up and got me sweating out the stuff I didn’t need anymore. Soup is magic, did I mention? #thermogenic #sweat #detox #ketofood #chili #soup #immunity #highfat #peanutbutter #spicy #makesoup #cookathome

YAH! 💃🏻🥦💃🏻News today: The UK is implementing a “social prescribing” system to support their national anti-loneliness strategy. Cooking and food connects people. And research now supports this. Doctors prescribing cooking classes! My day is made! Excited to add my own research to this through my Masters work very soon. Way to go United Kingdom! #cooktogether #antilonliness #foodconnects #cook #cookingclasses #betterhealth #healthstrategies #getinthekitchen #cookdontstop #foodheals Source:Associated Press

Sometimes, we should just cook for joy. Forget diets (always), philosophies, protocols, and rhetoric. Cook because a friend gave you a bunch of freshly harvested apples and you want to return them to him in the most delicious way. Because your friend is so rad, and deserves joy in the form of food. Then take the best ingredients you can afford, put on Odario on CBC 2 and zen out. Cook because it feels amazing to make good food for good people. Cook because it makes your house (and just maybe your whole neighbourhood) smell like the BOMB. But regardless, listen to your favorite #music, let it #inspire and guide you, and just cook. Tonight it was apple butter made with vanilla, cinnamon and #grassfed #butter, and #local #Berkshire pork, leek, apple, and fresh #thyme sausage rolls. And yah, that’s pastry. And no, I can’t eat it cuz I’m #celiac. But I didn’t make it for me. (I might have quality tested the filling. And the apple butter. Like, a hundred times. Good job, me.) One last thing. Forget #pumpkinspice. #Apple vanilla cinnamon butter is SO MUCH sexier. Thanks @odario for the inspiration tonight. Wish I could send ya some of this deliciousness. #justcook #cookathome #cookdontstop #applebutter #autumn #cinnamon #joy #culinary #cheflife #apple #sausagerolls #farmtofork @cbc_music
