I've been looking for this style of kitchen knife for a while now! Luckily I found one at my local HomeSense for a good deal.

A Nakiri is a Japanese style of kitchen knife. It has a flat, rectangular blade that looks like a small meat cleaver, but not nearly as heavy as one. 🔪

It's made for slicing, dicing, and chopping vegetables cleanly using a straight up-and-down motion (I still need to get used to this as I'm accustomed to chef's and santoko knives).

Fun fact: "Nakiri" literally translates to "vegetable cutter" or "leaf cutter." The blade shape means full contact with the cutting board—no more unchopped veggie strings attached to the bottom of your cuts.

(Apologies in advance for any mispronouncing of the "Nakiri" name 😬 🇯🇵).

Happy Easter to all those celebrating this wonderful holiday! 🙏🏽 🙌🏾

This recipe brings back memories—Easter mornings, the smell of spices, and slices of bun with cheese. This Jamaican classic is simple to whip up. Just make sure you have a bottle of stout on hand for that extra flavour and moisture. 😋

Here's what you'll need:

2 cups stout, 500mL, such as Dragon Stout or Guinness
1 cup brown sugar packed, 235g
1/4 cup unsalted butter, 70g
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp molasses
2 tsp browning
1 tbsp strawberry jam or orange marmalade
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 525g
1 tbsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp allspice
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg beaten
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup raisins, 200g, soaked in water (or the stout mix)
1/2 cup glace cherries, 100g, divided with half roughly chopped
1/4 cup mixed peel optional
