Ive just recently decided to go around the province eating in local restaurants and looking for organic and fresh produce. Ive been very impressed with how available this food is to us, if you only look. Really liked your blog. I need to go to St Andrews!

The braised pork sounds good with the Chinese seasonings. I can’t wait to try it.

Hi!

I’m glad you enjoyed the ribs! I haven’t had too much of a problem with excess sauce but the lid of my pot isn’t super snug so the volume does reduce quite a bit during cooking. I haven’t tried cutting the amount of liquid in the recipe but if you’re not losing much to evaporation, you could always give it a try. If you do so, check the ribs each hour to make sure they’re not getting dry. I find that reducing the sauce after straining (boil it until the volume is significantly reduced) also helps cut down on the amount of sauce and makes it very silky and flavourful. Good luck – I hope that helps!

I just made this, both the husband and I really enjoyed it. Will keep this in the future. Also, had a question, could I cut the sauce in half and have similar results? I just don’t need that much sauce left over at the end. Thanks!

Can you suggest a nice restaurant for me to take my daughter in montreal for her birthday. Looking for something sort of fancy and that also offers vegetarian options

Made the soup yesterday and it was delicious. I did add one teaspoon of sugar to the recipe.
Thanks.

Thank you! Having just come back from Cape Breton and having snow crab for the first time I was inspired … your risotto was delicious (I added some peas from our garden)!
I was a bit embarrassed that the only snow crab I could find was frozen and from Russia … I`ll try to get it more locally next time.
