Small Batch Basil Pesto
Posted by Donna-Marie Pye on
Basil pesto, the iconic green sauce we slather on everything from pasta to paninis is both ancient and modern. A Latin poem from the year 25CE describes pounding together herbs, cheese, oil and vinegar - making pesto the oldest sauce in Europe. Long adored in Italy, pesto made it's way into North America in the 70's and evolved from a motor-and-pestle affair to a shelf-stable condiment. Pesto literally translates into the word "pounded" and is made from fresh basil, nuts, olive oil, garlic and cheese.
Barbecued Corn Salad with Oregano Vinaigrette

This is the perfect salad to make with things from the garden and/or farm market. Grilling the corn enhances the sweetness and the fresh oregano complements the sweetness and lends and earthy flavour to this delightful summer salad.

Grilled Summer Vegetable Panzanella
Posted by Donna-Marie Pye on
This grilled vegetable salad is filled with summer zucchini and eggplant that are marinated in an herby dressing. Crusty croutons help soak up the flavours. The optional feta cheese adds a briny finish but if you prefer a dairy-free option, top the salad off with some crunchy Maldon salt flakes - regular or smoked.

The Big Summer Salad
Posted by Donna-Marie Pye on
This salad is an excellent example of using whatever you have on had to make a great meal. If you don't have heirloom tomatoes, just use cherry tomatoes (I love using red and yellow ones if you have them), substitute peaches or plums for the nectarines, romaine or spinach for kale, curly kale for Tuscan and even red wine or balsamic vinegar for white wine vinegar. And feel free to use store-bought croutons for the homemade ones. I'll even add some cooked chicken or beef to this salad for the whole-meal-deal! Go ahead, make it your own, but at least you've got something to start with.
