One of our favourite coleslaws! A mildly spicy coleslaw thats great made with in season veggies. It’s perfect for serving with barbecued meats, fish or poultry. Leftovers, if there are any, keep in the fridge for 2 days. My brother, who hates anything fishy, surprised himself by liking this a lot fish sauce and all. […]
Salads, Soups and And Sandwiches
Shrimp Salad
We really enjoy main course salads and this salad, made with fresh local shrimp, is lovely anytime of the year when you can get fresh seafood. On occasion, I like to make us a treat using half shrimp and half crab. It can be a little $$ but you don’t need much. The salad would […]
Okra and Corn Chowder
This soup is a perfect reason to use those late summer veggies. I like okra a lot and I think it is underrated…although some won’t agree. You can substitute green beans if you wish. What can I say about fresh yellow corn on the cob, divine! I’ve never been a fan of chowders with […]
Roasted Tomato Soup
A lovely soup to make at the height of summer or early fall! The truly wonderful flavours of tomatoes and basil. They are simply made for each other! Makes 4 Servings 40 roasted tomato halves 2 tsp. EVO 1 onion 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock, low salt or preferably homemade (see below) 1 1/2 cups […]
Indian Tomato Cucumber Salad
This salad is so good. It’s refreshing and makes a great accompaniment to my barbecued Tandoori chicken. Grill up some naan and there you have it, a great summer meal full of south Indian flavours and aromas! But you don’t have to wait for summer to enjoy! Although summer tomatoes, as we know are the bomb! […]
Greek Style Pasta Salad
Ah… Greek Food! Such wonderful flavours in this Pasta Salad! Close you eyes while tasting it and pretend you’re at an outdoor cafe on a Greek Island. Try serving it with lamb, chicken or beef souvlaki, how can you go wrong! 2 cups short pasta (such as macaroni, medium shells penne or other tubular shapes) 1 […]
Phyllis’ Greek Salad
There is nothing like serving a crunchy, tangy Greek salad in the summer to go with some barbecued chicken, lamb or beef. My rendition makes a more colourful salad. Using lemon juice in the dressing adds a really nice brightness. What’s summer without Greek salad? Makes 4 Servings 4 – 6 oz. Dodonis feta cheese […]
Orzo, Feta And Tomato Salad With Marjoram Vinaigrette
Fresh marjoram has such a sweet and fragrant scent and flavor. I love it! It’s a herb I always grow in the garden. You can dry it for use in the winter. It adds a lovely taste to chicken or pork dishes. This salad is just so refreshing on a hot day with perhaps Joe’s […]
Tomato Salad With Onions, Gorgonzola And Olives
There is nothing like a salad made with tomatoes at the peak of their season! A delicious salad and so easy to make. If you like, you can use feta cheese instead of the gorgonzola, but the gorgonzola is fabulous! Makes 6 Servings 5 ripe large tomatoes, cut into 1/3” slices 1 small red onion, […]
Sidewinder Salad
Not your everyday spinach salad that’s for sure! I ordered it for lunch one day at a restaurant, long gone from the Vancouver scene and am I glad I did! It was so good, I had to try and recreate it at home. Every time I make it, everyone loves it, not only is it […]
