The tomatoes shine in this salad so buy any good quality, fairly ripe tomatoes when they are at their peak. The salad is perfect with grilled white fish or meat of your choice. We like it served with a barbecued burger. Cannellini beans are creamy…

This very simple salad and dressing is super tart and flavoured with orange zest. Champagne vinegar is mild and perfect for summer salads.

So fun! All the flavours of Cobb Salad on top of an avocado and greens. Perfect summer lunch with a bit of sparkling wine, some sunshine and friends!

All the Southwest flavours of come together on top of lettuce for a flavourful meal, regardless of the season.

Scallops are sweet, buttery and firmer than lobster or crab. Large Sea Scallops can be pan fried; Bay Scallops are small, and we love them in pasta dishes.

We buy Ocean’s Albacore Solid White Tuna. It’s circle hook caught, meaning the amount of marine life mistakenly caught is reduced and its subtle flavour is perfect if you aren’t using fresh tuna.

This is an easy delicious salad, once the beets are roasted. Roast the beets earlier in the day or even the day before.

We recently visited the Ingleside Inn, Palm Springs; and were reminded of this classic dressing, created in San Francisco. They served the dressing as dip for vegetables and alongside crab cakes.
