Wine Pairing Dinner – Slow Roasted Maple Glazed Salmon & Warm Potato Salad
To say that opposites attract stretches far beyond the dynamics of human interaction. Finding a common thread between people and the ties that bond us makes our juxtaposed lives fun, exciting, and unpredictable. The same can be said about food. Sometimes flavors -...
St-Germain Elderflower Green Tea Cake with Gin & Lemon
No stranger to elderflower liqueur, I’ve loved its sweet floral notes the moment it’s heavenly nectar kissed my lips on a tipsy girls night out. Unlike the girls night, the story behind St Germain is as charming as the taste behind it.

With flavor notes of peach, pear, and grapefruit, it’s dances softly on your palate and is a welcome, refined addition to your liquor cabinet. And after making this cake, trust me when I say it will bring a breath of fresh spring air into your kitchen.

Starting with a warm beetroot salad, followed by a juicy Tomahawk steak – most ingredients are relatively easy to source along with a few refrigerator and pantry staples.
Labneh Tzatziki
Kiss the cook! Well, only if you have garlic too. Tzatziki has been a staple side dish in our family for years, and although there are many recipes for this wonderful, garlicky, Greek yogurt based sauce floating around the internet, this one is thick, luscious and...
Kitchen Quarantine – Spaghetti & Meatballs
Spaghetti & Meatballs Rummaging through my semi-quarantined kitchen, I find solace in cooking basic, nourishing meals to feed my children. At this very moment, there’s nothing quite as comforting as lounging around (in my pj’s no doubt) while a beautiful spaghetti...
