by Henry Gould – July 9th, 2019 Credit where credit is due: those Starbucks sous vide egg bites are a welcome addition to the realm of “quick eats available most places”. Especially in airports where you don’t always want a $19 sandwich, the bites are high in protein, low in carbs, and still taste pretty good. And since you can’t … Read More
by Henry Gould – June 19th, 2019 Don’t be scared! Fermenting is easy. Lots of people make kombucha at home, and it’s really no big deal. After all, people have been fermenting for hundreds of year. Ever made bread at home with yeast? You’ve fermented. Feel free to experiment with adding different spices and vinegars or other flavourings. Hot sauce … Read More
By Henry Gould – June 5th, 2019 You know when you go to a great Mexican restaurant or taco spot, and the salsas are so good you can’t control yourself, so you end up completely soaking your food in them, resulting in potential discomfort a few hours later? Yaaaa… me too. The great salsas at restaurants are usually a result … Read More
By Henry Gould – May 28th, 2019 Judging by the weather, summer has officially arrived in Vancouver. The days are longer, the willpower to resist patio drinks is basically zero, and the desire to turn an oven on to make dinner is definitely out of the question. The solution? A lovely chilled noodle salad! This recipe is great for a … Read More
By Henry Gould – April 30th, 2019 For any of us who fall into the category of “millenials”, we’ve no doubt been scolded by older generations telling us we eat out in restaurants too much, buy fancy coffee drinks when we should be saving, not to mention probably thinks we eat Avocado toast for breakfast, lunch and dinner @ $10 … Read More
By Henry Gould – April 23rd, 2019 This is an amazing salad for a bunch of reasons: it tastes great, it goes with just about anything (cold roast chicken, smoked / fresh fish, boiled eggs, soup), and it could not be easier to make. Also, if your fridge is relatively stocked with some basics like a cucumber, yogurt and lemon, … Read More
By Henry Gould – April 16th, 2019 Sometimes simple is best. “Patatas Bravas” – the tapas bar favorite of fried potatoes with a smoked paprika sauce and mayonnaise – is one of those simple classics. Some tapas bars put on too much sauce (or toss the potatoes in it, so they get soggy). Other don’t put enough sauce. I like … Read More
By Henry Gould – March 29th, 2019 I guess it was ~5 years ago that Brussels sprouts went from the dish everyone avoided at Thanksgiving, to a vegetable almost all trendy restaurants had on their menu. Many credit David Chang of the Momofuku empire for their elevated stardom, as he was one of the first to deep fry them and … Read More
By Henry Gould – March 19th, 2019 I just checked the weather, and even though it’s hovering around 0 degrees in Toronto and Montreal, spring has officially arrived in Vancouver! Everyone give yourself a round of applause, you made it through the harshest, coldest, most harrowing winter on record (*citation needed). Allergies are picking up right where they left off, … Read More
By Henry Gould – March 12th, 2019 Greetings #YardHard family! It feels like forever ago that we did a “general interest” style post on the blog (what with all the amazing recipes, 20 Questions, and Ilan’s “Myths of Weightlifting” series) so figured it was time to get back into it. “Diabetes Study Ties Lower Risk To Just A Moderate Amount … Read More
