A traceable lobster for your mom
May 11th 2013
The season for lobsters, earlier considered to be a “poor man’s food”, is now in full swing. As the fishing season in Quebec lasts from end-April till July, we can make the most of it for our parties, right from Mother’s Day up until Canada Day. Canola oil, 100% Canadian
May 6th 2013
Canola oil occupies a special place among vegetable oils, because like olive oil, it is composed largely of monounsaturated fats that are good for cardiovascular health. It is also a source of alpha-linolenic acid, an essential fat from the omega-3 family and contains vitamins K and E. With its neutral taste and high ‘smoke point’ (temperature at which the flavour and nutritional value start to deteriorate), canola oil is an excellent all-purpose oil. Spanish Omelette
April 27th 2013
The Spanish tortilla de patata or potato omelette is a type of thick omelette made with potatoes. This dish is normally served with a salad, but it can also be presented in the form of a tapa (appetizer) or a bocadillo (sandwich). Happy Birthday Rome!
April 21st 2013
Legend has it that Rome was founded on April 21, 753 BC by Romulus, who killed his twin brother Remus while building the city, thereby obtaining the right to lend his name to the settlement. These two demi-god brothers, suckled by a she-wolf after their birth, were descendants of the god Mars, a fact that also confers a divine origin upon Rome, the Eternal City. Italian fish soup
April 13th 2013
In the olden days in Italy, fish soup used to be a dish of the poorest because it was prepared with low quality or even spoiled fish that fishermen had not managed to sell at the market. Year of the quinoa
April 6th 2013
The United Nations has declared 2013 as the “International Year of Quinoa”, partly to honour the Andean populations who ensured the preservation of this “pseudo-cereal” for 7000 years, and also to promote this grain that is becoming increasingly popular due to its many benefits for our health. Gourmet Menus for Easter
March 30th 2013
This column aims at suggesting tasty, simple and quick dishes for the whole week, and these dishes are based the seasonal availability of fresh ingredients and the specials advertised in the flyers of the main food retailers. As we are nearing the end of Easter week, I’d like to recommend five menus that are not only suitable for everyday meals but can also take the place of honor in a special holiday meal… in case you’ve not yet decided what to make for Sunday! | |||||||||||||
