Seasonal Food and Flora
Here are some of our favourite seasonal recipes.
Stacked Waldorf Salad
Apple season is upon us, and while I love all the braised, rich dishes that come with fall, a tangy, crunchy and fresh appetizer is always welcome. This salad is from an old issue of Victoria Magazine (October 2014). I was intrigued by by the modern... read more
No-Bake Chocolate Mousse Pie
When it’s 90 degrees in the shade and the mere thought of turning on the oven makes you shudder, it’s time to break out the no-bake dessert recipes. After all, chocolate is a food group to be enjoyed in all weathers! Making the chocolate shards was a... read more
Raspberry Lime Rickey
We’ve had lots of family, big and small, here in the Cape over the last week. We were blessed with marvellous weather and spent many happy hours watching excited children dash in and out of the water, discover hermit crabs, dig holes for the tide to fill... read more
Tagliatelle with Prosciutto and Fresh Peas
We got the last of this season’s fresh English peas from Picone’s, our local family-owned green grocer. I’d used most of them in a giant batch of Summer Squash Succotash that the family had consumed with gusto, but had enough left to eke out two... read more
Pancakes
Pancakes are a weekend treat in our house. The grandchildren (and indeed, some adult “children”, ahem, Lauren) prefer them with chocolate chips. The rest of us like them plain or with fruit added. This is the basic recipe. After many years of throwing... read more
Braised Lamb with Roasted Provençal Vegetables
We’ve been incredibly lucky with a fairly mild winter so far here in Ontario, but the desire for fall-off-the-bones-tender meat still runs strong. We were planning a casual family dinner for an undetermined number of people over the holidays — a familiar... read moreEntertablement Abroad

Entertablement Abroad: Valentina’s Lost Orangery
We are finishing up our time in England and head home tomorrow. In my spare moments throughout the trip, I’ve been busily sorting and processing photos in an attempt to wrestle more than 2,000 of them into a workable number for future blogs. The good news is... read more
The Update That Wasn’t on Come and Dine at Highclere
Happy Easter, everyone! It’s a day of celebration, get togethers with family, joyful church services and depending on the age of your offspring, massive chocolate overload. We are still in England, and I wanted to share some pictures of the lambs we have... read more
Entertablement Abroad: Worcester Cathedral
Worcester Cathedral, more formally known as The Cathedral Church of Christ and the Blessed Mary the Virgin of Worcester, has a very warm and engaging feel to it, possibly because it’s a hodgepodge of every type of English architecture from Norman to... read more
Entertablement Abroad: 76th Goodwood Members’ Meeting
We’ve been in England for about a week now and spent our few first days in London getting recombobulated before heading to Chichester to attend the 76th Goodwood Members’ Meeting. My husband, Glenn, as some of you may know, is a car guy, and his particular... read more
