Sautéed Dates with Olive Oil & Sea Salt
Posted by Donna-Marie Pye on
This recipe comes from our May Book Club read called Delancey by Molly Wizenberg.These dates are a great back pocket trick to make because they are quick, elegant and endlessly adaptable. Serve as an appetizer with warm olive oil and a good amount of crunchy Maldon salt to offset the sweetness or as a delicious dessert after a meal. Try adding them to a salad involving with orange segments, pistachios, some good French cheese and soft buttery lettuce. For a final option, they are delicious at breakfast in a puddle of cold, plain yogurt.

Asparagus Mimosa with Hard Boiled Eggs & Caper Vinaigrette
Posted by Donna-Marie Pye on
It's asparagus season and guess what...Sunday May 16 is Mimosa Day! What do the two have in common? It's because when you add the grated egg over the top of the asparagus salad, it is often referred to as "mimosa" as it resembles bright yellow mimosa flowers. This salad is a wonderful way to serve seasonal asparagus with a tangy caper vinaigrette. If asparagus stalks are thick (and in my opinion better eating), then peel before using. Break the stalk at its natural break then peel up to the head with a vegetable peeler. I use green asparagus as it stands up best to the strongly flavoured dressing. This recipe easily serves four, but you could double or triple the recipe for a larger crowd.

Posted by Donna-Marie Pye on
Although this recipe originated in a cookbook by author Ann Lindsay for the Heart and Stroke Foundation, it was shared during a cottage weekend brunch by a friend and instantly became a favourite of ours. Its flavour and bright colours makes it the perfect way to greet the weekend or to serve Mom on Mother's Day!
