Michael and I attended our first ever shrimp boil. It was a perfect afternoon for a bunch of family to gather at my Uncle Ed’s and Auntie Barb’s place to say goodbye (they are leaving Edmonton) and attend Uncle Ed’s now world famous Shrimp Boil. The premise is quite simple. Fill a pot with vegetables…

Carrot Ginger Soup – My Way
Evidently June is Carrot Month in Walsh Cooks world. Remember, one year ago I had my epic failure at Pickled Carrots – My Way. “Try try again” I will say to anyone who will listen, so I am taking my own advice, dusting myself off and carrying on. Last Friday I was out with a…
Lasagna
A grey, blustery day is a perfect sort of day to inspire me to cook. On today’s menu a big lasagna to share with my family, and probably enough left overs for lunch tomorrow too. I don’t follow a recipe because it always varies with whatever ingredients I happen to have in the fridge/pantry. Today’s…
Random Post of Stuff
Life has been happening and I’ve had to be responsible and engaged in said life activities so spending time here hasn’t happened. But here I am! I’m here! If only just for a second. So what can I say about the food world that will tease and tantalize and make you keep coming back here…
Earls – Who Knew
I was invited to a tasting event at Earls Campus location last week, to which I said yes too, then had to bail on the day of because life happened. So that was the end of that, or so I thought. I received a message from the event coordinator, cate (I type that in lower…
Cask and Barrel Now Open

Sincerely, Walsh Cooks xo PS: Jelly Modern Doughnuts is located in Calgary, on the corner of 8th Street and 14th Avenue SW. Please…
Robert Burns
Robert Burns loved his country, women, and booze, and spent time calling out out hypocrites, plowing through nests of mice, and eating haggis …. and then writing about it. He was a blogger! And like many bloggers, he obviously didn’t like sitting for pictures, because it seems the picture above is one of the few…
Learning from our Mothers – Perogies!
Cousin Carlee came up with the brilliant idea that we learn how to make perogies from scratch from our Moms. My cousins and I grew up with memories of our Baba, Moms and Aunties gathered in a steamy kitchen with stacks of tea-towels, pots full of potato-cottage cheese filling, and piles of flour, making endless…
Tienda Latina Lunch!
Our friends Bernardo and Carlos at Tienda Latina, not only have Edmonton’s best shop for all things Latino, but they also make one helluva a great roast beef torta (sandwich). If you are hungry at lunchtime, and happen to be driving by the intersection of Argyll Road and 99th Street (Edmonton) pull into the N.E….
