- Playing with my food
- I love food. I love cooking. I love sharing food. It's the one gift you can give someone that they take inside of themselves and forever becomes a part of them. Food is more than fuel. It's a feeling, a memory, a cure, a gift, a toy..... My recipes aren't exact. There's room for substitutions, discovery, experimentation and play. Anything can be healthy with a few tweaks, or comforting with a few more. Many of my recipies are veggie friendly with just the omittance of meat, never lacking in flavour. The sky is the limit -Variety is the spice of life!

Finishing shot: Roasted pork tenderloin with root veg and fingerling potato
Roasted pork loin with white wine pan sauce, herbed organic fingerling potatoes, roasted celery root and radish.
Roasted pork tenderloin with white wine pan sauce
It's still roasting season out here in the Great Northwest; Winter doesn't seem to be done with us quite yet. My solution? Savory comfort food that warms the home and belly. This dish combines a mellow yet deliciously well seasoned pork tenderloin with a creamy decadent sauce. Bring it on, Winter.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 small pork tenderloins (cooks a little faster and more tender than the huge one)
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- Granulated garlic
- Dijon mustard
- Herbs de province
- Tarragon
- Beef stock
- Flour (omit for gluten-free)
- Butter (I used a homemade "compound butter". I take a good organic butter, soften it, add chopped fresh herbs, then roll it into a tube shape in parchment, refrigerate, and use as needed. I like a mixture of thyme, rosemary and oregano. It preserves the herbs for weeks, and the butter absorbs all the wonderful flavor. A million uses!)
- Dry white wine (as I mentioned in making ratatouille, I go for a dry pinot gris or grigio. (It will give the already flavorful sauce an acidic kick - which is key for bringing brightness to a sauce with a bit of butter.)
