This is what I will be making this year for Mother's day. As per my mom’s request! This Italian specialty originated in Milan, as most Italian recipes it feature 4 high-quality ingredients. Arborio rice, parimigiano cheese, saffron and chicken stock. The beauty of risotto is that it is delicious, creamy, and comforting on its own but can also be a fantastic base to showcase seasonal vegetables and herbs. This recipe features sweet spring peas

Fragole di bosco- Miniture starwberies from Rome. These strawberries are so incredibly sweet and flavorful. This salad is one way to showcase these beautiful berries. 

A classic Canadian dessert!

A caprese salad with a twist! This recipe showcases roasted butternut squash, rainbow carrots and fresh apples.

This creamy, spicy and sweet soup is a family favourite! You can use any type of squash that is in season.

This squash, carrot and apple puff pasty tart is so easy to make. Serve as a appetizer of with a side salad for lunch.

Easy braised short rib ragu. This is the best comfort food recipe! Slow cook the sauce the night before and toss with fresh pasta when guests arrive. You can also freeze this sauce for quick and delicious weeknight meals.

Butter boards are a fun way to customise butter. The whipped butter is easy to spread and can be served with any type of bread or crackers. I like serving this butter with my grape and thyme focaccia!

The easiest focaccia dough recipe ever! This is a “no-knead” focaccia dough. Traditional dough recipes require tedious and time consuming kneading to form gluten. However this recipes using an overnight proof as an alternative. I make the dough the night before and bake and serve fresh for guests!

A show stopping Valentine’s dessert! This white chocolate bark is the perfect ending to any Valentine’s Day celebration and is so easy to make.
