Roasted Tomatoes with Arugula, Feta and Pinenuts

August 16, 2015

Have you started harvesting any tomatoes yet? Or is your grocery store filled to the brim with local fruit? This is the time of the year to indulge in them before they turn bland and just accompany a sandwich for colour. I like to keep things simple in the summer and with good quality ingredients …

Elisa’s Potatoes

April 7, 2015

These potatoes are scrumptious. Not usually a word I’d use, but that’s what came to mind. Every time we make them they are gobbled up, my son in particular asking for more. My aunt Elisa is a chef in New York City and made these potatoes for us. She told me how simple they are, …

My Salad Dressing two ways

March 18, 2015

I learned to make salad dressing when I was 7 or 8 years old. An old aunt of ours taught me and had me make it every time we visited her house. It’s a basic dressing I think most Swiss kids learn how to make. Years later I still make this basic dressing, sometimes I switch …

Mini Poutine

December 17, 2014

Along with tourtière, beaver tails and maple syrup – Poutine is probably considered as Canadian as you can get.

While many restaurants offer crazy variations of this food (lobster anyone?), my favourite is still the classic. …

October 22, 2014

This was never supposed to be a post. As you can see the photo I took was with my phone. But then I kept seeing the photo of the soup and the photo of my dahlia next to each other in my Instagram feed and I really liked how they played off of each other. …

A Summer Fête – Special Edition

June 18, 2014

Here in Canada we have long, cold and dreary winters. I’m not a winter person, so summer can’t come fast enough. Once the temperature heats up a bit I love to invite people over for outdoor BBQ’s, dinner on the lawn or just a casual picnic. The season is so short, I think we need …
