This raspberry lemonade bar tastes just like biting into a summer day, and we love its bright colour.

Introduction

We needed a fruity, bright vegan addition that nobody would guess was vegan. We think we have found a winner! This bar tastes just like biting into a summer day, and we love its bright colour. We also make a version with fresh peach purée in place of the raspberry purée that is equally delicious. The best part of working at the farmers market was swapping food with our neighbours. We would share our baked goods with our fellow chefs at other stalls, always eager for feedback and a foodie’s two cents on new ideas. In response, we would be gifted a feast of tacos, smoked meats, poke bowls, ramen, and muffuletta sandwiches. These bars and their seasonal variations became a market favourite.

Is there anything better than a tomato sandwich in the peak of the summer season? Honestly, we think not.

Introduction

Is there anything better than a tomato sandwich in the peak of the summer season? Honestly, we think not. Fresh white bakery bread slathered in whipped black garlic butter and topped with thickly sliced ripe tomatoes is elegant simplicity at its finest. Black garlic is aged for twenty-one days under specific temperature and humidity conditions, then rests for five days to air out, creating the best version of roasted garlic, still in the bulb. It’s not fermented, as is often assumed. At Eureka Garlic in Norboro, Amy Picketts explains how their turban garlic is soft and easily mashes into a paste, unlike the hard black garlic that’s commercially available. When paired with fresh-from-the-vine PEI tomatoes, it is utter perfection!

This salad is summery, crunchy, and full of flavours you would typically find in a salad niçoise from the South of France.

Introduction

This niçoise is fully loaded with hearty potatoes, seasoned chickpeas, colourful vegetables, and crispy lettuce. It is summery, crunchy, and full of flavours you would typically find in a salad niçoise from the South of France—one of my favourite places in France to visit. The freshness of this salad takes me back to the morning markets in the Old Town of Nice, where I used to buy the ingredients to prepare this vibrant salad. We loved to pack it in containers and picnic on the stony beach. Enjoy this salad as a delicious healthy lunch, dinner, or side salad.

You can't go wrong with making this delicious spinach artichoke dip for your next gathering.

Introduction

Looking back through our early menus we’re reminded how wonderful it was to not have a worry in the world—like, for example, about calories. But then there’s this worthy Chuck Currie standard, which while not precisely spartan, does feature an actual vegetable, and one that’s fairly good for a person, too. PS: Substitute kale for the spinach, serve with beet chips and hey, it’s the twenty-first century.

During one particular summer swelter, I improvised what became a stunning dessert.

Introduction

During one particular summer swelter, I improvised what became a stunning dessert, largely because I wanted to avoid using the oven. An extra bonus, this creation satisfies both vegan and gluten-free lifestyles. This dessert hits high marks, wowing with its layers: sweet-tart lime-flecked tequila granita foiled by buttery, juicy pineapple, offset by crunchy, sweet-salty cashew brittle. Chile salt centers it all, pulling the elements back from feeling too sweet. I use smooth and earthy Corralejo tequila, a reposado we regularly stock at our bar

Sangria is the world’s most popular wine cocktail for a reason: it’s delicious, easy and always pretty beautiful.

Introduction

Sangria is the world’s most popular wine cocktail for a reason: it’s delicious, easy and always pretty beautiful. Our light, fruity, refreshingly dry take on sangria perfectly blends the traditional and the trendy. We follow the Spanish tradition of macerating real fruit in brandy and wine but put a contemporary twist on it by doing so with dry rosé—the “it” wine of the 2000s. Launched in 2018, this perfectly pink punch quickly became a fan favourite and patio mainstay. It’s the ideal summer (or anytime, really) drink.

The protagonist of this galette is rhubarb—and rhubarb alone, because it’s more than a strawberry’s sidekick.

Introduction

The protagonist of this galette is rhubarb—and rhubarb alone, because it’s more than a strawberry’s sidekick. Its sweet, tangy, deep-red stalks shine in this rustic French tart, and are heightened by the peppery, herbaceous scents of bay leaf. Galettes are a true lesson in the art of imperfection. No two galettes are the same. Many have cracks and crumbles, and no matter the filling, the results turn into something delicious. That is the magic of the galette.
