Any specialty mushroom will do, but we prefer Oyster Mushrooms for this side dish. This is really not the place to use white mushrooms – you want something with more flavour. Perfect with Grilled Lamb Chops and Summer Salad topped with blueberries and Chèvre.

Although there are many ways to cook Spaghetti Squash, I love it baked, drizzled with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. It takes very little time to prep and while it bakes, you can decide about whatever you are putting on it!

Limoncino Vinegar is much sweeter than many other flavoured vinegars. A product of Italy, it is found in specialty stores, and distributed in Canada by Preferisco Foods Ltd., Vancouver.

This Mexican Blend of chili peppers, lime and sea salt was the perfect one to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, along with Green Chili Polenta or Grits and Sautéed Blue Oyster Mushrooms!

Basic French Vinaigrette is not to be confused with bottled French Dressing! This vinaigrette pops and is absolutely delicious. All the dressing need is too be tossed with simple, leafy greens. tossing with your hands is the best way rather than using salad tongs.

Fresh cherry tomatoes from the Farmer’s Market slow roasted bring out the sweetness; emphasizing why tomatoes really are a fruit. Serve at room temperature with grilled Parmesan Toast for a perfect summer appetizer or side dish.

Tajin Classico Seasoning from Mexico is really good on just about anything. We like it sprinkled on chicken, fruit or vegetables. It’s mild with some dried peppers, sea salt and dehydrated lime.

This salad was adapted from The New York Times article about Chef Mark Icon and his pizza restaurant, Lucali. Reminiscent of the leftover salad enjoyed with family on Sunday. Iceberg lettuce is sprinkled with marinated tomatoes, celery, red onions and canned olives. A pizza house…

Lamb Chops or cutlets are the most expensive and tender cuts of lamb. When left together and cooked as a whole, that becomes the Rack of Lamb. Tie 2 Racks together and that becomes a Crown Roast of Lamb.

Fresh lemon is bright and adds acidity to the creamer potatoes. We love serving these potatoes with Grilled Lamb Chops and Grilled or Roasted Carrots.
