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.

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!

Homemade Limoncello
Posted by Donna-Marie Pye on
DOWNLOAD RECIPE CARD We have been having fun teaching the some of the food featured in the recent CNN "Search Stanley's Italy" with actor Stanley Tucci. Our first class focused on Naples and Amalfi Coast, so we thought we'd share our recipe for homemade Limoncello while lemons are just reaching the end of their peak season. The only thing better would be to be sipping on it in one of the beautiful cities like Positano, Ravello or Amalfi while overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea in the Gulf of Salerno. Ingredients... 8 lemons, preferably organic 1 bottle (750 mL) vodka 2 1/2...
