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.
