Summer ready with some of our favourite #CanadianCheese

When it comes to #Canada150 celebrations taking place across the country with our team, chances are there is probably delicious food involved. Since I am in full menu planning mode with Catherine this week for our celebrations with friends and family, I thought it would be fun to partner with The Dairy Farmers of Canada to share a cross-country tour of Canada with some of our favourite Canadian cheeses that you can impress your guests with this summer. Because what better way to celebrate being Canadian this summer than with #CanadianCheese!  Continue reading “Summer ready with some of our favourite #CanadianCheese”

The reasons why The 2017 #KFWE was not to be missed

And we’re back!

That moment when opposites attract and you find yourself enjoying chocolate covered pretzels, leather and lace, breakfast for dinner, department stores and meat counters.

Hold on.

Ok, if you think that the last one was a misnomer, well then you my friend need to go to Selfridges. Continue reading “Food & Drink | Roast Rack of Lamb with Cumin and Nigella seeds”
