    The Perfect Danforth Lunch

    August 23, 2019 /

    The Danforth is a place that is as diverse as it is charming—and nowhere is this as evident as in its restaurants. Counting the number of delicious, international cuisine options along our neighbourhood’s bustling streets would require a lot of fingers—and stomach space. And while finding a recipe that would combine all of these cuisines proved impossible, we have managed to test—and approve—a lunch inspired by the Danforth’s Greek, Italian, and Canadian influences. What are you waiting for? Take advantage of the long summer days and head to your local farmer’s market to stock up on these ingredients. Summer Salad with Greek Dressing Greek(ish) SaladPrep Time: 15 minsServes: 6 Ingredients:1…

    Our Favourite Christmas Recipes: Part Two

    December 22, 2016 /

    Part two of our holiday baking series will be sure to get your creative juices flowing. “White Cherry Chip Cookies” I love this recipe because my family loves eating them. I adapted it from another recipe one year around Christmas when I had finally finished writing exams. That the cookies came out in Christmas colours was a happy coincidence.  -Vicky 2 cups of all-purpose flour 2 tsps of baking powder ½ tsp of salt ½ cup of shortening ¼ cup of milk 1 egg 1 cup of white sugar 2-3 tbsp of vanilla extract A handful of maraschino cherries, cut into quarters In large bowl, cream shortening, sugar, egg, milk,…

    The Burger: Greek Style

    February 7, 2014 /

    Greek turkey burgers with feta and red pepper By: Alexa Keeler Quite a departure from last month’s theme of tradition (where I made homemade souvlaki), this recipe is a modern Greek-inspired take on the burger, with old-style Greek ingredients. Not only is this dish simple to make with minimal ingredients, it packs a surprising amount of flavour for how unpretentious it is (no Himalayan Salt Brick required). Let’s begin!

    Homemade Souvlaki

    January 10, 2014 /

    A first attempt at a traditional yet timeless Greek recipe By: Alexa Keeler Welcome! This corner of On the Danforth Online will document my exploration of authentic Greek cuisine; both restaurant-made and homemade. When most North Americans think Greek food, they think Souvlaki. That is why I’ve decided to conquer this recipe first, as it seemed to be the least daunting. We can’t have Souvlaki without Tzatziki sauce (that would be preposterous!), so I will be making some homemade Tzatziki as well. Greek Chicken Souvlaki Ingredients: 3 lbs. chicken breast ⅓ cup olive oil 2 lemons, juice of 6 tbsp. garlic, crushed or minced 2 tbsp. dried Basil 1 tbsp.…

    Penne Puttanesca

    March 26, 2013 /

    Get Spicy With This Delicious Pasta Recipe! By Christina Guidoccio I love Penne Puttanesca. I remember my Nonna making it for me when I was young. I developed a real taste for it and recently embarked on some kind of quest to find the perfect recipe. Most recipes I’ve found are lacking in the general flavor and spiciness that makes this recipe what it’s supposed to be. So I decided to make my own! This recipe isn’t for the faint of heart. If you’re not into spice, you’ve come to the wrong place. The spice can be scaled up (brave!) or down (boo!) according to taste. Habanero peppers are spicy little devils,…
