I love wings and I used to cook them once in a while, using a deep fryer pot filled with oil on my stovetop. It often got messy, with oil inevitably splashing and dripping all over the place, not to mention the lingering smell.
An air fryer doesn't exactly cook like an oil fryer. It requires space around the food to allow air to circulate around it, much the same way oil would surround the food when cooking. It also doesn't allow you to use wet batters. It would most likely run off before it's cooked.
With these differences in mind, do I have any regrets? Would I switch back? Absolutely not! To me, the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks!
These air-fried wings turned out great! After seasoning, I coated them in a little flour and cooked them for 15 minutes before tossing them in some BBQ sauce. Yummy!

It's hard to beat a great tasting steak done over charcoal. This was so tender and delicious!

Mmm, I love deep fried wings, among other things. Up until now, I've been using an old-school stovetop deep fryer filled with oil. It's served me well but often gets messy, especially when filtering or disposing of the oil. Enough of that!
I came across a deal at WalMart that I absolutely couldn't refuse. I got a Kalorik Air Fryer, regularly priced at $189.93, for only $59.00!!! This model isn't usually sold in the store so when I saw it, and at that price, I grabbed it right away!
My first dish cooked in it was a batch of wings and fries. After seasoning them, I dipped them in an egg wash and breadcrumbs before placing them in the air fryer. At the automatic preset for chicken, they turned out perfectly moist and cooked on the inside and ultra crispy and dry on the outside. The fries turned out equally well but maybe a light spritz of oil might have made them even better.
Cleanup was so simple - just a little soap and water, all done!
Overall, I was very happy with my initial results. Stay tuned for more...

This is a variation on a classic Jamaican weekend brunch - Escovitch Smelts and Festivals.
Escovitch fish, usually whole Snapper or King Fish steaks, smothered with pickled onions and hot peppers, is a staple of Jamaican cuisine, mostly enjoyed on weekends. These smelts were on sale so I decided to use them. Not bad at all!
Festivals are very similar to fried dumplings but use cornmeal, as well as flour, and a bit of sugar. The original version, created at Hellshire Beach, used cream soda instead of water, giving it a bit of sweetness.
This turned out to be a great tasting meal!

Tonight's dinner was very enjoyable! I had a Veal T-Bone Steak with Mushrooms and Scalloped Potatoes. Delicious!
The veal is still on sale at Blue Sky in Pickering for only $3.99/lb. I should really pick up a couple more. I made a mushroom gravy to go with it and scalloped potatoes. This was a good meal!

The TotoBurger (with lettuce, Sicilian sauce, pancetta, provola cheese) is hefty and very delicious! It's one of the best burgers I've had in a long time! Seriously!
I drove all the way down to Mission Lasagna, operated by Ballaro in Little Italy, to pick up some of their delicious food and drop off to friends and relatives.

Mmm, Butter Chicken and Garlic Naan!
Thank you to The Village Tandoor for hosting the contest and choosing me as the winner! Yay!
Their butter chicken is so delicious! It's creamy and full of flavour. The garlic naan was the perfect complement!
If you haven't yet tried the food at The Village Tandoor, located on Church St. just south of Hwy 2/Kingston Rd W, you need to get over there! Everything I've tried so far has been delicious!

Patty Gyal, a relatively new place in Ajax, offers an impressive variety of flavours in their Jamaican patties. By the time I got there in the early afternoon, most varieties were already sold out. I did, however, manage to get a Spicy Beef and an Ackee and Saltfish.
They weren't bad at all, albeit a little pricey, compared to other outlets. The variety being offered makes this an attractive source. Go early though, before they sell out!

My recent attempt at Korean inspired wings turned out so well, I decided to try a variation of it using pork. This time, however, I wasn't trying to imitate another dish.
I sliced the pork into thin strips. Seasoning included garlic, ginger, and Chinese five spice, among other basic things. After dredging it in flour-egg-flour, I deep fried it and then tossed it in a mixture of honey and chili oil. It was finished with sesame seeds and slivers of green onions, before eating it with kimchi.
OMG! It was delicious! The kimchi was a perfect complement to the sweetness of the honey. The green onions took it over the top!

Every dish was well seasoned, spicy, was delicious!

It's Wings again! I had bought a pack of wings on sale and had no space left in the freezer so here they are, in all their glory!
This time, I marinated them in Jamaican Jerk Spices and had them with Sweet Potato Fries and Coleslaw. The wings and fries were both done in the air fryer. Some Corn on the Cob was the perfect accompaniment. Everything tasted great!
Tomorrow is another wing night. What shall I do?

It's been quite a while since I've been to Kitchen King and enjoyed their delicious Jamaican food. I've been to their previous location on Nugget Ave. a few times and I've been to their current location on Progress Ave. when they first moved. At that time, however, they weren't allowed to cook their jerk meats oustide on a drum, something they were known for. Thank goodness that has changed!
On this visit, I got a very generous sampling of their Jerk Chicken, Jerk Pork, Curry Goat, and Oxtail, with rice and peas. It was all very good!
The jerk meats, done in a drum over charcoal, had a nice smokey flavour. The curry goat and oxtail were also very flavourful. In addition to these traditional Jamaican dishes, they offer a full menu of popular Jamaican fare, with daily specials.
They have a small dining room but current COVID restrictions didn't allow dining in. With their good food and service, this family run business could use your support. Give them a try!

I have always liked lasagna but, before having it from Mission Lasagna, Ballarò's offspring, I guess I never really knew what it was supposed to taste like. Wow!
They offer nineteen varieties of lasagna. Nineteen! Whether you're a meat lover, pescatarian, or vegetarian, they have something for you. They also make it with different types of pasta. There's something for everybody!
For Father's Day, Mission Lasagna is offering a dinner package for four, including their delicious lasagna, sausages, asparagus, and salad for a very affordable price of $49!
I had the pleasure and privilege of previewing this package and was thoroughly impressed with the flavours and value. It was delicious!

My Air Fryer adventures continue with my attempt at cooking a Steak with Potatoes and Asparagus!
First of all, I didn't expect to get GREAT results, but for the times I need a quick meal, it helps to know my options.
I started with fresh asparagus and mini potatoes, seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic, and a splash of olive oil. I followed recommendations from the Internet and cooked them for 10 minutes at 400F, turning them at 5 minutes. Unfortunately, they ended up being overcooked by about 3 minutes (my guesstimation).
As soon as the veggies were done, I put the steak in (while the air fryer was still hot). I had seasoned it with some Montreal Steak Spice and a dash of garlic. The recommended cooking time was 10 minutes for a medium cook, which ended up being too long for the steak I got. It was much closer to well done. Okay, it was a cheap steak that was kinda thin, not the best. A thicker steak (at least ¾ inch) would have worked out okay.
I wasn't expecting to get a perfectly cooked steak - medium rare with a nice sear on the outside - but I was hoping to get something tender and tasty. This wasn't a total failure. It still tasted good, and I'll know what to do next time...

Greek style Chicken Thighs, Scalloped Potatoes, Greek Salad, and tzatziki for dinner. Darn, I forgot the feta cheese in the fridge! That would have taken the salad to the next level!
The chicken turned out great in the air fryer, evenly cooked with a nice colour. All the grease drained away from it below the basket. 👍
I did the scalloped potatoes in my toaster oven while the chicken was being cooked. BTW, the potatoes took 30 minutes and the chicken took only 15 minutes!

Maya Bay Thai Snack Bar
Toronto, Ontario
Smoked Chili Shrimps with Rice and Scrambled Egg
It was nice to go out for dinner with friends again! A small group of us made it to the recently opened Maya Bay Thai Snack Bar. Located at Parliament and Carlton, this is the newest offering from the folks behind BKK Thai and Koh Lipe Thai Kitchen.
The food is authentically Thai and absolutely delicious! We also had some refreshing cocktails and an icy dessert that hit the spot on this hot day!

This is a classic Jamaican Sunday breakfast: Ackee and Saltfish, with Festivals on the side.
Ackee, if you don't know, is a fruit. In its unripened state, it is poisonous and was once banned in the US.
When prepared with salted cod fish, Ackee and Saltfish is Jamaica's National Dish. Savoury and yummy!
Festival is a fried dumpling originating at Hellshire Beach, a small fishing village with a nice beach on Jamaica's south coast. What sets it apart from regular fried dumplings is the addition of corn meal, giving it a nice texture, and the use of cream soda because they had no running water. Delicious!

PORT
Pickering, Ontario
Chicken Caprese Pizza
Basil pesto, cherry tomatoes, Parmesan, white sauce
Done in their wood fired pizza oven. It was absolutely delicious!
--------------------------------
It's been a long time since I've had a good pizza. This one was great! PORT, located on Frenchman's Bay in Pickering, may just be the only restaurant in Durham County located right on the waterfront. The ambiance is outstanding, especially in the evening, watching the sun set over the bay. Beautiful!
The food is also pretty darn good! Since reopening after a COVID shutdown, their menu has been pared down but still has some great tasting food, mostly lighter fare.
PORT was recently nominated for 27 awards in Ajax Pickering's News Advertiser Readers' Choice Awards, all well deserved! I wish them luck in the voting!

I have always liked lasagna but, before having it from Mission Lasagna, Ballarò's offspring, I guess I never really knew what it was supposed to taste like. Wow!
They offer nineteen varieties of lasagna. Nineteen! Whether you're a meat lover, pescatarian, or vegetarian, they have something for you. They also make it with different types of pasta. There's something for everybody!
For Father's Day, Mission Lasagna is offering a dinner package for four, including their delicious lasagna, sausages, asparagus, and salad for a very affordable price of $49!
I had the pleasure and privilege of previewing this package and was thoroughly impressed with the flavours and value. It was delicious!
Give Igor a call to order yours!

Pickering has become more and more diverse with its restaurant openings and I love it!
Bamiyan Kabob is an Afghan restaurant that opened early last year, before the pandemic. I have tried several items from their menu and have yet to be disappointed.
This Beef Kofta dinner, including rice, salad, and naan, was delicious! The portions are very generous and I wasn't able to finish the rice or naan. Maybe next time I'll have it without the rice.
I'll be back...

I had a craving this morning for a good old fashioned Jamaican Sunday breakfast of Ackee and Saltfish and Saltfish Fritters. A quick check revealed that I had all the ingredients so no excuses.
Everything turned out great! It tasted really good, satisfied my craving, and I have leftovers for another day! Yesss!

My discovery of Thai restaurants continued with a visit to IMM Thai Kitchen, located in Toronto's Little Italy. This is a nice place, with intimate lighting, nice atmosphere, and great tasting authentic Thai food!
Our appetizers included wings two ways - Tom Yum, and Larb. We also enjoyed some Chicken Satay skewers, Spring Rolls, and Fresh Shucked Oysters with dipping sauces. Everything was so delicious!
These were just the appetizers! Stay tuned for more...
Thank you @billfoodie for arranging our night out and @immthaikitchen for the delicious food and hospitality!

Korean Pork Bone Soup
Han Sin Gam Ja Tang, Markham, Onario
Some of my recent meals have been influenced by Korean cuisine. It's been a while since I've had Gam Ja Tang (Pork Bone Soup) so when a friend suggested I try this new place, of course I had to.
There was a generous amount of meat on the bones and lots of each side dish. As usual, it was served in a cast iron bowl, still bubbling hot.
The flavour wasn't bad but I think it would have been better if the broth had been cooked a bit longer. The side dishes were very good.
The rest of the menu had some interesting dishes that I would come back to try.
