Jasmine Mangalaseril 🧁My latest Substack is up! It's about my new adventure as CBC-KW's new food columnist! It's exciting (and a bit scary, but the team there is so lovely). I also share a recipe for Devil's Food cake (incl what I did to veganise it).

Jasmine Mangalaseril 🧁Hello, new people (and welcome to those who've found me from elsewhere).
A bit of an #Introduction if we don't know one another:
I'm a food writer, living in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada (Waterloo Region). I'm also a strategic communications consultant and I teach culinary communications.
My posts are fairly wide ranging, incl food, history, arts, culture, humanities, politics, people doing good. And cats.
I think that's it for now. If you decide to follow, welcome, my lovelies :)
Jasmine Mangalaseril 🧁Rufus in inaction! His snores are distracting me from writing. As are his sleep eating twitches. Hope the sound works.

Jasmine Mangalaseril 🧁If anyone needs a timeline cleanse, here's my friends' cat Winter, OUTRAGED that we're too busy (inside) at the Friends of Edna Staebler Christmas Bash to let her back inside. This is a few minutes after she was OUTRAGED that she was inside when there was all that snow to play in.

Jasmine Mangalaseril 🧁When I got home and tossed my bags (not the one with mumblety types of cheese in it) on the floor, Nigel decided to claim one as his.

Jasmine Mangalaseril 🧁Oh, my life. It's so hard.
Went to Guelph and for a great interview Andrew from Tomme (it turns out we worked together(ish) at a former employ!) and then had him choose my birthday cheese (it's in Sept, but I wanted cheese now). Occelli di Castagno

Jasmine Mangalaseril 🧁Life's gone back to being extra busy these weeks, and I've been remiss in sharing my food column's listen laters. Making up for it over the next few days.
Starting with some great tips about getting some great-tasting foods from your backyard smoker. Thanks to Breslau's D&D's Smoked Eats for the chat!

Jasmine Mangalaseril 🧁Peachberry jamming is done. A smaller batch than usual, but I'm just topping up preserve reserves with this one.

Jasmine Mangalaseril 🧁I be jammin'
This week's instalment of Canapalooza 2025 is my most favouritist jam I make: Blueberry-Peach (or Peachberry)
Yes, I had peaches last week...but I ate too many to make it worth the effort of setting up the kettle

Jasmine Mangalaseril 🧁I’m not flighty about my love of honey and it’s one of those foods that’s not just local, but hyperlocal.
Waterloo-Wellington is abuzz in honey and honeybees. And for this week’s column, I visited a bee yard, chatted with a bee breeder and a rescuer and got some sweet cooking and drinks ideas about honey that’ll stick.
