New Orleans Barbecue Shrimp

New Orleans Barbecue Shrimp

New Orleans Barbecue Shrimp gets its name from the smoky flavour the shrimp take on after being cooked in Worcestershire sauce and has very little to do with the barbecue. This recipe can be as simple as cooking the shrimp with butter and Worcestershire sauce…

Cheese Fondue

Cheese Fondue

Apres ski? Winter and fondues just seem to go together. This is our favourite Cheese Fondue with blends of Gruyere, Emmenthal and white wine. We love to serve Cheese Fondue and a Fondue with Broth together. Everyone can cook the vegetables and beef as much…

Shrimp, Cocktail Sauce and Cream Cheese Block

Shrimp, Cocktail Sauce and Cream Cheese Block

The only thing better than Shrimp and Cocktail Sauce is the addition of Philadelphia Cream Cheese. The perfect appetizer for a crowd or just the family! Homemade cocktail sauce is far better than anything purchased; make it as tangy as you want!

Slow Roasted Tomatoes

Slow Roasted Tomatoes

Slow Roasted Tomatoes might look at bit dry or the skins a bit tough but when you bite into one, the flavour is intensified, it’s a bit cartelized and sweet. The longer the tomatoes roast, there the intense the flavour is. Easy to make and…

Coconut Curry Cauliflower Soup

Coconut Curry Cauliflower Soup

Cauliflower roasted and blended into soup with Coconut Milk and Red Thai Curry paste is brilliant! Make half or a full batch, depending on the crowd and how much cauliflower you have kicking around. This is half a batch, perfect for the other half of…

Mudslide Martini

Mudslide Martini

Pear and Prosciutto Flatbread

Pear and Prosciutto Flatbread

Whether you make your own pizza dough, buy Artisan Flatbread or Naan Bread; pears and prosciutto go so well together. Add a mild, smooth and silky cheese like Fontina and you have a fantastic appetizer or meal!

Beef Queso Dip

Beef Queso Dip

Queso means cheese in Spanish and possibilities are endless when you start melting cheese. This recipe includes ground beef and Salsa so it’s easy… simple and cheesy delicious. Definitely Friday night finger food to go with the nachos…no matter the weather!

Grilled Vegetables and Feta

Grilled Vegetables and Feta

This is just about as easy as summer cooking can get, as an appetizer, side dish or vegetarian main. Toss any vegetables you have with olive oil, tuck slabs of Feta amongst them, and let the flavours come together. We love this served right off…

Asian Chicken/Turkey Lettuce Wraps

Asian Chicken/Turkey Lettuce Wraps

Butter lettuce is our favourite lettuce for these wraps. Sweet and mild, Butter lettuce is sold with the roots still attached to preserve freshness. Quick and delicious, this dish comes together in minutes. Flavourful and light for a hot day.
