A Tostada is simply the whole tortilla fried crispy, rather than cut into triangles like the chips. And they are perfect for building everything you would in a taco, only flat. Tostados or any taco type meal is especially easy if you have an authentic…

We love Caprese Salad, so what could be better than an antipasto tray made with those incredible ingredients with olives, prosciutto, roasted peppers, and a really good finishing olive oil. These are smaller bottles of olive oil, and much higher in price, meant to drizzle…

Perfect for hosting game day and a crowd! We prefer to make a sheet or two of fries and let guests build their own individual bowls or Chili Cheese Fries. On the table, there’s always some hotdogs, buns and all kinds of condiments for Chili…

This is a perfect appetizer in any season. Roasting tomatoes elevates the flavour and served warm over the whipped Feta is brilliant. Do take the time to press the Feta or the spread will be too briny.

Mike was recently at The Capital Grille in Orlando. It’s an upscale Steak House with some of the best appetizers, including lightly sautéed Prosciutto Wrapped Mozzarella sticks. I was recently at our local Italian Market, and they were featuring Prosciutto di Norcia. A ham cured…

The depth of flavours in this dish are outstanding! Every summer it is a must made with the freshest corn, Spolumbo’s Chorizo and sweet sea scallops. Sometimes we serve it as an appetizer and other times; it is the meal following a green summer salad.

Antipasto literally means “before the meal” and is the first course in a traditional Italian meal.  Small bites of tasty food, usually accompanied with wine meant to stimulate the appetite.

Definitely a summer meal.  Manila Clams are plump, sweet and can be eaten baked, grilled, steamed or sauteed.  At least once a summer we grill them directly on the barbeque and while that’s cooking, make a buttery lemon sauce, so dinner can literally be done in minutes!  But…

Dalmatia Fig Spread is a year-round favorite with Brie for a light snack or the start of a charcuterie style lunch. Figs have been cultivated for centuries in the Mediterranean and just go hand in hand with cheese and baguette.

Enchiladas are stuffed corn tortillas covered in a sauce. This dip is perfect for leftover turkey or chicken, especially the drier pieces. With the exception of the tortillas, we bake everything together and then dip the chips. Easily spiced up with your favourite hot sauce…
