La maison d’ailleurs écrivait dans un récent communiqué que certaines des saveurs «repoussent les limites de l’expérience organoleptique, comme celle aux fruits de la passion». Eh bien, parole d’un flot de 10 ans, c’est celle qui a le plus cartonné chez nous.

In a recent press release, the company in fact claimed that some of its savours “push back the limits of the organoleptic experience, such as our passion fruit bites”. Well, if a 10-year-old (!) can testify to it, they were best-in-show for this family. Of course, taste is subjective, so you’ll want to make up your own mind. Quality and price go hand in hand, but when treating guests to a discerning dessert, these unique sweets are totally worth it.

Okay, so you know when I said that the books were in no particular order? I lied. I felt the need to follow up the previous books with this one I just received from the author herself. “Je mange avec ma tête/I eat with my head” by Elise Desaulniers is a book about the ethics of eating that is not even in bookstores yet. If it proves as big a watershed as Food Inc. was to our family—that’s when we started buying organic, cost be damned—, I may be in trouble. (In French only)

Soup-Soupe Trilogy: To post or not to post all the comforting homemade soups I served my half-pint? Probably not. Which is why you are reading the latest-last instalment of my weekly trilogy (yes, you heard right, 3 soups in 1 week, soupy little bugger wouldn’t you say). For each soup, I played up different vegetables and aromatics for the same creamy results with nary an ounce of guilt…there’s no cream! More of a concern for the parents than the kiddo, of course.

A couple of weeks ago, I was invited to the launch of Weston’s Première Fournée breads along with several Montreal bloggers and journalists. In the “it’s a small world” category, I also happen to freelance for the bakery, which the inviting promotional agency didn’t know. Maybe you’ve found yourself comatose at the breakfast table, sleepily waiting for your coffee to finally percolate and half-reading the sleeve from your bread to pass the time? Well, then you’ve been saved from boredom (!) by my efforts. (To this day, though, my most published opus has been… the romance copy on the side of Québon milk cartons. It’s Faubert, not Flaubert.)

The phone rings. The caller is Émilie Mongrain from Éditions de l’homme, the publishing house that has hired me in the past to copywrite the Kitchen Galerie cookbook among others. Émilie is a passionate editor, funny, driven and smart, the kind I don’t often meet; a girl that likes to laugh, referencing both Blue Beard (to scare copy out of you) and Proust (to make you feel worthy and appreciated), all in the same sentence. Yes, this post starts with a like-you note to my editor, because you don’t often hear about the generous, kindred spirits who drive you to —and beat you into— delivering the best book you have in you.

Monsieur s’étant lancé dans la salade, fiston ayant plongé dans le Nutella maison, mine de rien, je demande si quelqu’un veut du kaymak. Le silence règne, chacun savourant son coin du plateau. J’en profite pour m’enfiler le tout sans coup férir. C’est doux, délicat et, moi qui ne trippe pas miel, je suis pourtant aux anges. Eh bien.

Right off the bat, I swooned over the kaymak, a buffalo milk cream that resembles cheese. Since Monsieur had dived into the salad and kiddo was immersed in his Nutella, I asked at large if anyone wanted to try the kaymak. Silence reigned, with everyone concentrating on their end of the platter. I took advantage to swallow the whole. It was soft and delicate smothered on bread. While not partial to honey, I enjoyed it thoroughly. A great way to start.

Two drops of water (yes, you’re allowed!) can help smooth the harshness. And if you like your scotch with ice cubes, that serve to “tighten” the flavours, limit the complexity and make it less hard on the tastebuds, you’re allowed too.

I have many favourite suburban haunts since I live in Laval. Rather than introducing you to my family’s everyday go-to restaurant, I thought I would present my latest discovery, Capitaine Doyle in Old Saint-Eustache (yes, the same neck of the woods as Julie above). Imagine an old house transformed into a restaurant where Magdalen’s Island specialties are served with authentic island accent. Their specialty? Seafood, what else, especially lobster which is in season right now—and which explains my choice. Lobster club, lobster roll, seafood platter, lobster poutine even : in other words, everything for the seafood lover in you. Last March, in the middle of a snow storm, I even ate a lobster rice served with fruit salad right smack in the middle. A little bewildering yet surprisingly chaming (but, let’s face, Monsieur would suggest you go for the classics and just club ‘n’ roll if you go). Bon appétit.

It’s lobster season. And although I had no expectation as to kiddo’s open-mindedness, impossible to resist the need to broaden his horizons. So on a rainy Saturday afternoon, we jumped into the car, headed for Homard des Iles in Saint-Eustache, a suburb of Montreal. Yes, you heard right, a direct-sale outlet in the middle of the boondocks instead of the local supermarket, where lobsters are so lively you had better hold for dear life when they suddenly unfurl their tail. Even the lobster tank rippled and waved. The price? At least $2-3 more per pound than cutthroat promotions at the local grocery but our family is slowly transitioning towards local, farm-bought food where cattle practices (on a par with fishing ethics, one hopes) are more humane, healthier too. You do know that Epicurus, yeah that one, believed some pleasures can be detrimental to human beings, right?

There are meals, let me correct that, food orgies that leave indelible memories. Like my first tasting menu with my two BFFs, at Montreal’s Laurie Raphaël, ending with a tour of the deserted kitchens led by the sommelier at 1 am. Or that other tasting, in the ITHQ kitchens this time, where I ate recipes tested for a magazine that went from garlic-and-oil pasta to lemon-white chocolate truffles—at 8 in the morning. Both mmmmmm… and ouch. And then my first visit to Pied de cochon Sugar Shack in the Lower Laurentians, the brainchild of chef Martin Picard. That one was 3 years ago almost to the day.

As we left, I remember feeling both full and worried that the restaurant would not be around for long. It seems Ikanos has strong Hunger Games survival skill.

I would like this product even if it were only for its French name which translated to “Bastard without glory.” That’s because camelina, i.e. false-flax in English, is also known in French as Bastard Flax. Indigenous to Eastern Europe, camelina is the oldest oilseed grain on record and its oil, the second richest source of Omega-3 after flax. One tablespoon of camelina oil provides the recommended daily intake in Omega-3 fatty acids.
