Jicama Salad
Does Jicama (HEE-kah-ma) intimidate you? There’s no need to fear this crunchy and faintly sweet tuber. Its mild flavour lends itself to this salad with radish, chives, pomegranate arils and herbs.

Read MoreCaramelized Onion Galette
It’s a savoury galette kind of day. Caramelized onion and kale galette with herbs is ready for the oven. A sprinkle of sesame seeds on the dough gives a lovely nutty texture as it bakes. The crust should not be perfect – cracks and uneven folds are what galettes are all about. If you’re not…
Read MoreSpring Salad with Lemon Dijon Vinaigrette
The best part of this spring salad is buried underneath. It’s the freshly picked homegrown tender arugula and baby kale topped with herbs and micro greens. Add cucumber curls, shaved radishes, fresh peas, strawberries and raspberries. I also added toasted slivered almonds, but they never made it into the picture. Toss the salad together with…

I take my Sunday pancakes very seriously. Today we’re having fluffy buttermilk pancakes. The secret ingredient to the best pancakes is buttermilk which makes them light, soft and fluffy with the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. Instead of syrup, serve them with a slather of Nutella and cookie butter and you will be the…
Read MoreSmoky Eggplant Dip
This is one of our favourite meals and it happens fairly often. I like to set everything out in separate bowls (not the best idea for clean up tho). Then we make our own falafel salad plates. Today’s meal includes hummus with tahini, smoky eggplant dip, chopped salad, falafel balls, schug (hot sauce) and homemade…
