My husband makes these sensational ribs and we can hardly wait to have them each summer! The barbecue sauce can be made up to a week ahead; the addition of coffee lends a rich level of flavor. I usually make the rub ahead and store in a jar with a tight lid. It makes a great Christmas stocking […]
Having picked up an armload of rhubarb on the weekend, it was time to get busy and cook up our annual batch of rhubarb ketchup! Don’t remember where I got this recipe but we liked it a lot the first time I made my version of it. I’ve even used it in making homemade barbecue […]
Bbarbecued beef ribs were the choice for my birthday dinner, so off to our hipster butcher Pete, of Pete’s Meats we go! The rib recipe is by John Malik and was published in Bon Appetit magazine in July 2003. A Kamado Joe was recently added to the collection of outdoor charcoal cooking apparatus that we […]
Get ‘em still alive. Remove the heads just before cooking. If you are a bit squeamish get your partner (I do), or a friend to do this. Or you can simply leave them whole. Spot Prawn season begins in May and we get them right off the boats at the dock at Granville Island. They […]

The blueberries are in season and we’re making a batch of this barbecue sauce to slather onto pork chops, ribs, burgers, chicken, turkey or even fish! It will keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks and can be easily frozen. In fact, I have doubled the recipe just so I could have a stash […]
