We were surprised De Capo recently changed hands - same staff but different management, and the oddly appointed space was had a facelift too - a new "window" in a wall adjacent to the kitchen gives you a view of the pizza oven, but alas, the huge odd shaped gelato counter/coffee/cashier monstrosity still dominates the room and obscures what should have been show cased as their namesake. Anyways, on to the food...We stopped in for a quick bite of pizza, and noticed the menu had been pared down, but essentially the same as the previous menu - with the substitution of mozzarella with fior di latte and fancying up the menu. Still, we had high hopes that now that they were going to focus on the pizza, (which we loved years ago before they lost their pizza chef), that they would have revamped and perfected their pizzas since their name had changed to focus on pizzas.Pages

Rosso Pizzeria Edmonton, AB - pizza needs a bit of work

Bacon roses! Make these maple glazed bacon roses into an edible bacony bouquet!
For a bacon loving girlfriend's surprise engagement party (post here if you missed it), we were planing to use lots of flowers to decorate the house hosting the party... and then I had a thought.. why not bacon roses? I had heard of them a while ago, usually cropping up around Valentine's day for those wanting something a little different for the bacon lovers in their life. And seriously, the idea of having a bouquet of bacon roses... I definitely wanted to make them (and keep fingers crossed they turn out well)!!!Monday, 10 June 2013
High Voltage Café Edmonton, AB – Greek fusion style donairs
Rating Service 8/10, Food 7.75/10 I swear, we must have drove past this place millions of times… and nearly drove past it again on the night we decided to give their donairs a try. It looks likes a past from the past on the outside – a classic diner from the 60’s, 70’s? We’ve heard rumors that the owner is like Seinfeld’s Soup Nazi.. you better know what you want or no soup… well, no donair for you! We were glad to dispel that myth. Anyhoos, on to the food!

Chicken peanut satay noodle bowl recipe
With my friend’s food allergies, I rarely have a peanut, or any nuts in the pantry. But one night, I had a deep craving for something savory. Something richly, deeply satisfyingly... nutty. I didn’t feel like firing up the oven to bake up some peanut butter cookies – too much work! I wanted something quick but would serve as supper. In comes the chicken peanut satay noodle bowl.
