In this pandemic Holiday season, get your Zoom parties off on the right foot with these easy Salmon Rillettes and a bottle of well-chilled Chablis. I don’t know about you guys, but here in Montreal, Zoom parties are the only parties that will be allowed during the Holidays. The prospect of not being able to…
Caramelized Onion and Blue Cheese Tart
This Caramelized Onion and Blue Cheese Tart is a perfect holiday appetizer. Watch it disappear in a flash! This delicious caramelized onion blue cheese tart makes a great holiday appetizer. Cut it into bite-sized squares for those December potlucks we get invited to over the holidays and they’re sure to be a big hit. Combined with a nice glass of red…
Herbed Feta Dip
This Herbed Feta Dip is rich and creamy. It is the perfect dip for croutons, vegetables or crispy baked pitas. I first tasted this Feta Dip on a trip to Chicago with my girlfriends (see my Beets Salad with Whipped Goat Cheese post) at the Purple Pig restaurant. We had an amazing meal on the beautiful Magnificent…
Avocado Chickpea Salad with Crumbled Feta
This Avocado Chickpea Salad with Crumbled Feta has been my go-to potluck dish for years. And every time I bring this or serve it to a crowd, it’s always the same thing: someone requests the recipe! But the thing is, I have no recipe! I never even had one! I just adapted the chickpea salad my mom…
Beet Salad with Whipped Goat Cheese

Celery Rémoulade
Celery root (or celeriac if you prefer), is NOT the most beautiful vegetable. It’s seriously funny looking, odd-shaped and even kind of hairy…but I just love it! It tastes like a cross between celery and parsley and you can eat it raw or cooked. I remember when I was young, Celery Rémoulade was one of my favorite salads but…
Pork Dumplings (potstickers)
Pork Dumplings! Have I already told you how much my family and I LOVE dumplings? Even my 5-year old girl is fond of them. There is something so satisfying about biting ino these savory little pillows, that delicate dough, that burst of steam that can almost burn you if you’re not careful and then…that delicious ball of stuffing exploding with…
