Your responsibilities will include studying recipes and preparing high-quality dishes, with a focus on baking. You should be a creative team-player able to handle the pressures of a bustling restaurant kitchen.
I’ll admit I am not a huge soup fan until the weather turns cold and dreary, like this November. I still yearn for the freshness of vegetables from the summer months, but knowing that this is not impossible due to our climate, I turn to soup to satisfy the flavours I crave.
Today I have chosen kale — you either love or hate it. I have cooked it many ways and find it very versatile in many dishes.
The Christmas season hustle and bustle is drawing to a close as we get ready for the feast! As the years go by, I work to make my holiday simpler so I can enjoy this time instead of running around like a chicken with no head. I am not quite there yet, but can report that I am a bit more organized this year.
This is bound to be a great evening of fun, food, and learning. Not to mention, some wonderful Holiday entertaining tips that will be sure to impress the family.
The team – Lara and Adrian – so enjoyed an incredible week of professional development, learning, and networking at the annual University of Guelph Good Food Innovation Awards.
Annnnnd…. we were so very honoured to have received the Food Day Canada Good Food Innovation Gold Award for the menu we presented.
I was never big on chocolate as a kid, but getting older, there are days when I crave a good piece of dark or salted caramel or mint… yes, I LOVE chocolate all year round! It helps me get through a long day (thanks to the caffeine in it), helps me get through a tough day (adding a touch of sweetness), is a perfect way to celebrate (who does not love a chocolate birthday cake?) and is a great “pick me up” (full of good things for us!).
It’s hard to believe that winter is just around the corner. Our bodies are already craving the comfort food to keep us warm and hearty! One of my favourite ingredients this time of year is pumpkin — you can find them everywhere for a good price in all the local grocery stores.
Lara and Adrian recently had the pleasure of providing a food demonstration at the incomparable Kootenay Coop in Nelson, BC. Such a treat to share our grocery line of frozen entrees, condiments, and spice mixes with the people of the West Kootenay!
