One last kick at summer, a simple, elegant execution for the last of the season’s peaches with this Peach Basil Goat Cheese Galette. The beauty of a gallette is it’s rustic, rough appeal. Even those ‘pasty-challenged’ can manage a gallete and do it well.
Inspired by Greece it’s not a hamburger, but a lamb burger favoured with oregano and garlic, punched up with spinach and salted by feta. It borrows from keftedes or Greek meatballs, made with beef, garlic, oregano and mint or our Burger el Greco.
Sometimes it’s the simplest things that strike a cord. Like this pretty little Thai Sweet Chili Chicken. Didn’t intend to post because two ingredients; “chicken” and “jar o’ sauce” does not a “recipe” make, but it’s a solid thecnique for the grill and using it, you’ll get beautiful results every time.
This is a cake that takes time, patience and effort. Therefore I only make my Double Dark Chocolate Raspberry Cake for those who will not just appreciate, but worship it. It is only fitting for one of nature’s most perfect foods.
Chili Cheese Cornbread Muffins, a taste of the south with a few surprises – fresh corn sliced right off the cob as part of the batter, cream cheese in the center so it’s gooey and smooth and a red pepper jelly baked on top adds just a hint of sweet spice.
Cold rice vermicelli salad with bright fresh veg, dressed in a lime, rice wine vinaigrette, (totally delish) chicken satay, finished with peanut sauce. Authenticity and intensity. Eat goooooood.
Strawberry season. Ripe for Canada Day festivities, warm evenings and summer barbecues. This cool, seasonal White Chocolate Strawberry Kiwi Soup is a make ahead dessert that is at once, simple, elegant and sure to impress.
