Operating as usual
We are gearing up for our “Summer Vibes” class on June 1st. We have had a ton of good eating on our way to finalizing this menu. As with many of our menus, this has a good mix of casual, ethnic influences with that hint of nostalgia. Perfect for a little patio entertaining. If you have already signed up, get ready for a fun evening. If you haven’t, there is still plenty of time! Registration can be done via the Google forms link below. $20/person makes this exceptionally cost effective considering it includes the live class, recipe booklet and a recording for viewing at your leisure

Crossing the 500-subscriber milestone on my YouTube channel feels like a monumental achievement on this journey of growth and discovery. Despite its humble beginnings, this project has propelled me into a steep learning curve, reminding me of the invigorating thrill of acquiring new skills. I’m deeply grateful to every subscriber who has joined and engaged with me along the way, especially to my daughters and younger co-workers, whose insights have been a constant source of inspiration. Their wisdom, coupled with my openness to learning, has made this journey both challenging and immensely rewarding. As I continue to push forward, I’m excited to announce a special celebration: a Q&A session to connect with my community and a giveaway of 10 free online classes. It’s my way of saying thank you for your unwavering support and encouragement. Here’s to embracing every opportunity for growth and learning together!
Simply leave your questions in the comments below OR respond to my YouTube community post. I will respond to 10 questions on an upcoming video. If I answer your question you receive a free online class.

Stop by Sobeys Okotoks this Saturday May 4th for a fundraiser bbq for the Okotoks foodbank. A great opportunity to purchase your copy of the amazing foodbank bank cookbook.
Cookbook Testimonial from David and Joanne Gilbert, Okotoks Sobeys: What a fantastic way to celebrate 35 years of service to the community. The Okotoks Foodbank cookbook is one of my favourites whether I am looking to try something new or craving one of the classic favourites. The recipes are from the heart, and like the book says, "We naturally connect through food, whether we gather as family, friends or strangers. It's a simple connection.”
Divine Cooking is totally stoked to be releasing our latest on-line cooking class. Summer Vibes 2024 will help you kick off the patio season with fresh and vibrant summer menu that is both ethnic inspired and has easy breezy preparation. This class will be offered on Saturday June 1st at 6 pm. Price is $20/person and can be registered via the google forms link below.
As always, registration for the class includes a pdf copy of the recipe booklet, a link to the live class, as well as a link to a recording of the class for your viewing pleasure at your leisure. These classes also make great gifts for weddings/birthdays, etc.
We hope to see you there!!

Is a skillet dog suitable eats for satisfying that deep craving for something really delicious??
Abso-friggin-lutely it does!
Some of the best munchie crushing food comes hot off a griddle!!! This skillet hot dog is friggin epic with the dog split open to get roasty toasty on the inside for that extra special sear. Now of course you may not have these exact ingredients on hand but just open your fridge and cupboards and have some fun with it. You might be surprised with how delicious and creative you can be with your friend Mary Jane along for the ride. Thanks for watching!!!
Live to eat but also eat to live.

A birthday pavlova by that has me seriously wanting to fly west right now. If I close my eyes and imagine I can almost taste the lemon/passion fruit curd and light crispy meringues with marshmellowy center.
What dreams are made of!
This is a serious contender for a holiday breakfast!!! Check out my first video of my new series called Bad Ass Breakfasts.

My dad was a big inspiration to me. He also had a bit of a sweet tooth. This almond toffee reminds me of him.

I have really enjoyed my sourdough journey. It blows my mind that with flour, water and the naturally occurring live culture from our own environment, we can make beautiful bread. When you are working with the dough it is so obviously alive. It’s kind of where biology, science and food meet. My personality won’t allow me to carry it out in a overly structured manner. I kind of wing it. Lol. Over time, I have started to understand how the dough should feel. My daily bread production quality is far from consistent and I’m ok with that. I’m just here to feed my family fresh baked sourdough and have some fun along the way.
