My name is Corey, I’m a student in Business Management. Before coming to AU I worked in the food industry. I graduated from NAIT’s Culinary Art’s program in 2007 with a diploma in cooking. I have my journeyman certificate, Red Seal, and Blue Seal. I have worked in restaurants, hotels, golf courses, and coffee shops. These days I’m a stay at home parent to three kids, 10-year-old twins and a 6-year-old. My wife works as an RN and program manager at the Stollery Hospital.
I have found a butcher that I really like. In culinary school, we had a rotation where we learned about ordering for restaurants and food establishments. We sort of had a meat place we used, but it was more like a commercial meat producer. Or, if not them, the larger food sales companies sold meat…. Read more »
Sometimes I feel like we just need a quick meal; this was one of those recipes. It was a later night; we were hungry, and I tried to come up with something fast. I grabbed some chicken strips from the store and baked them in the oven. Meanwhile, I grabbed tomatoes, cheese, lettuce, and Caesar… Read more »
I got the idea of writing about cocktails a few months ago, and instead of just downing a bunch of drinks in one sitting (as fun as that might be), I chose to spread out a few of them over a few weeks and document some of the beverages I made. While these are relatively… Read more »
I think many of us enjoy Sunday dinner. I’m talking about the spread that is usually a little bit fancier. The kind that you often visit relatives for or invite family over to have. At least, a few years ago, that’s what it meant. We’ve had to adapt and change some preparation methods over the… Read more »
Well, it’s another week and another new edition of Voice Magazine. I made this recipe last year and shared the finished product with my neighbour, Paul. I must brag about how fantastic my neighbour is. He might not think he is, but he’s pretty awesome! Paul and his family share an alley with us. He’s… Read more »
Happy New Year, everyone! I hope you all spent some much-needed family time and had a restful holiday. I know my family did until COVID entered our house. I feel fortunate that we have avoided the other variants, and thus far (as of this writing), omicron doesn’t yet seem to be nearly as bad. Our… Read more »
I have been in Scouting as a leader, which we call Scouters, for over six years. When I first started with our group, my son was a first-year Beaver Scout. As a Scouter in Beavers, you get assigned a nickname, and I got Hawkeye. I love the name so much that I kept it when… Read more »
With Christmas approaching, hopefully we are going to be busier than last year. And with our hustle and bustle comes the need for quicker meals. This week, I made a quiche in the style of a Denver omelette. This recipe uses breadcrumbs as a base instead of pie dough. If you have a pie dough… Read more »
With the holidays around the corner, many of us will head to the store and buy ingredients for a most delicious holiday meal. It might be turkey, or goose, or even prime rib, but then you’re going to travel down an aisle with shelves full of stuffing in a box, and you might think to… Read more »
Karl recently asked if it was possible to make beef jerky at home. I wasn’t sure it was possible without a dehydrator. Upon some quick googling, I discovered that it was indeed possible. A YouTube series I watch (The Bearded Butchers) has an episode where they make deer jerky with a selection of their spices,… Read more »
