Easy candied orange peel

December 23, 2020 By KrisNeely

candied orange peel coated in fine sugar

When December rolls around, you can count on me to first start thinking of what holiday treats I’ll be creating. Shortbread is a given, both sweet and savory. Fruitcake (yes!). Something chocolate, whether that’s a dark flourless cookie or almond roca bars, or – in rare years – chocolate fudge. And candied orange peel. It’s…

Roasted kabocha squash dip

September 7, 2016 By KrisNeely

Summer seems to have evaporated this year. It’s like I blinked and July was over, and the same happened with August. Now it’s back to school time. What the….??! I’m always sad to see the end of summer, because it means that darker wetter weather will soon be taking over. But whether it’s summer or not,…

Squash and apple soup

January 16, 2016 By KrisNeely

Ta da…..squash and apple soup! It’s only taken a few months to get a new post out. I think we should start calling this an, ahem, occasional food blog. Since Eve and I started this, over 4 years ago now, life has seriously gotten in the way of time spent creating Ant & Anise — to…

Micro-Batch Blackberry-Lime Jam

September 2, 2015 By EveJohnson

I love making jam. It triggers one of the happiest memories of my childhood, August days spent on big blackberry picking parties with the Sheens, family friends from Mom and Dad’s Alberta days. Jack Sheen and Dad went at the bushes with clippers and ladders. The seven of us kids looped our buckets into our…

Cauliflower Cheese Bake

April 13, 2015 By KrisNeely

It’s pretty much universal: Kids, of any age, like macaroni and cheese. Comfort food, pure and simple. My childhood memories of mac and cheese run to the boxed fluorescent orange Kraft Dinner variety, which I loved at the time. Now my tastes run far, far away from packages of neon orange powdered cheese, and more…

Tarragon Pesto Food Processor

Tarragon Pesto

March 8, 2015 By KrisNeely

Pesto is a small treasure. At least that’s how I think of it. Isn’t it though? It’s a concentrated intensely flavorful sauce, similar to chimichurri, that lends itself to a variety of dishes. Tarragon pesto, like its more traditional sibling made with basil, can be spread on sandwiches, dobbed on top of soups, whisked into…

gingersnaps cheer brandy

Cheer for ginger cookies

November 21, 2014 By KrisNeely

Hip hip hooray! I’m talking cheer for ginger cookies. They once were hard as a rock, but now they’re soft again and kissed with Christmas cheer. Cheer as in brandy. Definitely worth cheering about, especially with the holidays right around the corner. Here’s what happened: I was making a wonderful ginger cookie recipe from Emily…

About Us

We’re Eve and Kris, an aunt and a niece. We love food. And while we have a lot in common in our approach, we also have our differences. So why not hash it out in a blog? Ant and Anise is a conversation about food in our lives, past and present. We like real food that doesn't take hours to prepare, but has something unexpected about it. It helps if it's pretty, too.
