Nil Bleu
I’d been waiting to try Ethiopian food for a while and many people had raved about the Nil Bleu here in Montreal. My experience there definitely did not disappoint.
Spicy, tasty, hearty, comforting and well rounded flavors – or as my friend Jon put it in his blog, we would be fat if we lived in Ethiopia.
Make sure you are entirely comfortable who you decide to go with since eating with your hands can be a touchy topic…
One question remains: would I pay for that? Yes, again and again - you cannot compete with good food at a decent price!
Out of my fridge
Food is our common ground, a universal experience – James Beard
Every one’s gotta eat! It’s simple enough, a basic survival instinct. Lucky for us we’re at the top of the food chain and have opposable thumbs at our disposal. Now, it’s time to put them to good use and rekindle that long lost love affair with your knife and skillet. The best meal comes right out my own fridge and is at the core of my daily life. I live for every meal. Yes I love food, I love preparing food, but most importantly I adore the moments that food creates. The moments range from heading to the market on a sunny Saturday, chopping onions with goggles on, taming flare-ups on the bbq, sitting down for a hearty stew on a cold winter day, and perhaps one too many glasses of wine with friends and family. Just as simply, it can be sharing an ingredient, a recipe, a technique that will be passed on from one kitchen to another, and today that is my goal. Together we’ll get a few burns, heal a few scars, create some memories. This is my everyday kitchen and I hope you enjoy it.
