As my friend bakesomethingawesome always says: all roads lead to bread, and a beautiful one at that! Even if I’m out of practice, even if my levain was neglected, even if I got distracted while shaping… All roads lead to bread, and to tomato sandwiches!

I will always be grateful to JWR for teaching me all about sourdough at the beginning of the pandemic. This 5-year journey has been my saving grace on many occasions. 

Free Palestine, stop the genocide and the famine. Let people bake bread! 🍉 And stop arming you know who.

Thanks to emikodavies’ instagram post, I recognised the bright flowers of this caper bush near my family’s home in Lebanon from far away. I then proceeded to climb up two sets of walls to get to it and pick some of the flower buds and caper berries to pickle. I washed them and soak them in water and salt for about 30 minutes while I made the brine and sterilised the jars. I am so curious to taste them! Did you know that caper bushes grow in wall cracks all over the mediterranean? And did you also know that even before the genocide in Gaza, Palestinians were not allowed to forage herbs and plants that are part of the traditional diet here in our part of the world?

Another great lunch at casavantmontreal today: spaghetti with rapini pesto, anchovies and smoked mussels and arctic char with beets, almonds and labneh. Both so delicious and colourful.

Had another amazing meal at barstdenis a few days ago with ivylernerfrank. The labneh with herbs, olives and pistachios is always a must. The white asparagus with boquerones was outstanding, so was the tagliatelle with sea urchin. Crudo with the season’s first rhubarb for that hint of acidity? 🩷 That’s a yes! And those perfect little crab tater tots were the reason behind this visit and they did not disappoint 🦀

I was finally able to snag a table for alma.mtl’s monthly tacos omakase last Sunday. It also just happened to be their 6th anniversary 🥳 Chef juanlopezluna was joined by Alejandro Ramirez Huerta and chef Mariana Martin from carlota.boulangerie. Outstanding meal with wonderful wines from vin_i_vida, the best flavours of Mexico, including fresh tortillas made on site with nixtamalised corn. The flavour is just incredible. Keep an eye on Alma’s social media channels so you can be among the lucky few to score a spot to their next omakase. Honestly though, any meal at Alma is sure to be great.

I haven’t posted anything on my feed since October 2nd, a few days before the assault on Gaza started. 2023 was a tough and ruthless year, a year where our collective humanity was challenged and I dare say that the western “civilised” world has failed the test 💔 It’s the dawn of 2024 and I really hope we do better this year, now, today. All I wish and hope for is an end to this genocide, an end to the occupation and a free Palestine 🕊️

Monday bake. 
I still love the process of making bread, working the dough, waiting for it to proof, shaping it, scoring it, baking it. Opening the lid of the DO is still as exciting and a renewed surprise every time: has the loaf risen? Is it pretty? Such a surprise every time!

I had lunch at bika_farm this past Sunday. Here are a few of the dishes I enjoyed:
Cod, tomato juice, beetroot, corn salsa, coriander pesto 🌺
An abundance of peppers from their garden cooked in a variety of ways 
My favourite dish was this roasted and puréed Savoy cabbage with garlic scape 🥬
Panna cotta, Mémé de Beauce tomato jam, pistachios, filo 🍅
It’s such a gem of a place ✨ I’m always so happy to be there.

I was invited to an out_inthefield event at vignoblecamy a couple of weeks ago. It was a beautiful event despite the rain. bakesomethingawesome and I enjoyed a menu featuring local ingredients from chef Josh Crowe of monklandtaverne and wine pairings by Camy, of course (their Pinot Gris de macération is so good!). Thanks for the outstanding invite! Note that they have events in Quebec from time to time so keep an eye out for them.

I hadn’t made bread in so long. I got back into it because I wanted homemade bread so I can make tomato tartines. I doubted my levain and my technique and was sure it wouldn’t turn out but it absolutely did! The crumb is a little tight but it’s so delicious. Now excuse me while I go have a 🍅🥪

When I say I’m eating an insane amount of tomatoes these days, I really mean it! Philo sheets layered with olive oil and parmesan, cooked then topped with a mixture of soft cheese, salt, pepper and more parmesan, then all the tomatoes, basil, Maldon salt and sumac. Easy and perfect summer lunch.

bdanslacote is one of the best sustainable and responsable butcher shops in Montreal. They’re located inside the marchedessaveursduquebec at the marchejeantalon. And they happen to make amazing sandwiches and grilled cheeses and this seriously great burger, one of the best in Montreal.

I shared this photo in my stories a few days ago and I received a lot of DMs so I thought I’d share it here. It’s a Lebanese-style fruit cocktail from antabli.ca. They have many, many choices, some with chunks of fruit and added juice, some just a blended juice. Most are topped with ashta, which ressembles clotted cream, then drizzled with honey and sometimes a sprinkle of raisins and nuts. They are delicious.
