There is nothing more addicting than sweet potato fries- the combination of sweet and salty makes them the perfect accompaniment to any meal.  Our little girl will be starting solids in a month and we are already thinking of ways to make meal time easier by cooking the same ingredients for us and our baby: roasted sweet potato mash for baby and fries for us.  In order to make the sweet potato fries extra crisp, the trick is to coat them in cornstarch before baking.  These fries are great dipped in ketchup or even mayo-sriracha for a little kick.

There are some purists that say a perfectly seasoned and grilled steak needs no sauce. I on the other hand think that the right condiment can really enhance and compliment the flavour of your meat. A great example is the Argentinian chimichurri sauce made from parsley, garlic, vinegar and olive oil. My version uses fresh cilantro, lemon instead of vinegar and a touch of honey for a sweet, tangy and herbaceous sauce.

These beef rolls are the perfect finger food and super quick and easy to make.  Recently we made a half dozen and brought a few on an impromptu picnic lunch.  Cut them into inch sections and you have an appetizer for your next soiree that looks fantastic on the plate.

Have you ever grilled up a great steak at home and thought to yourself that a little squirt of ketchup would make for the perfect sauce, but you couldn't bring yourself to do it because of your inner food snob? I'll be the first to admit that ketchup is one of my all time favourite condiments and even though I think it goes great with beef I just can't bring myself to use it on a premium dry aged steak. The solution to my dilemma is this gourmet homemade tomato and bacon jam that is based on something similar we tasted at Farm on our charcuterie plate. This condiment is easy to make, sweet, savoury and smokey and can hold its own next to any premium steak out there.

Many of us know a good quality olive oil can make a world of difference in a dish.  Not only can olive oil be used in the cooking process, but as a beautiful garnish.  The numerous occasions which I've seen professional chefs drizzle olive oil over a dish as a finishing touch, says a lot about the way it can round out a dish, both in presentation and flavour.  Luckily for us, we didn't have to go far to obtain some of the best quality olive oil out there...
