The Big Summer Salad

Posted by Donna-Marie Pye on

The Big Summer Salad
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.

Dutch Baby Pancake with Strawberry Preserves
If you've never made a Dutch baby, you are in for a treat. It's like a giant puffy pancake or popover but also part souffle. We love to make ours in a well-seasoned cast iron pan. It's a perfect weekend breakfast treat and something cottage go-ers will love ntoo. We've combined our version with a jar of Mrs. Bridges Strawberry Preserves, but with strawberries in season, it makes it easy to serve it with sliced, sweetened berries too!

CHOCOLATE SEMIFREDDO
Semifreddo—Italian for "half-cold" or "half frozen"—got its name because of its unique texture. Even though it's technically frozen, the Italian dessert stays soft and creamy. Unlike ice cream, semifreddo isn't churned. Whereas ice cream is scooped, semifreddo is molded and sliced, usually in a metal loaf pan.

Coronation Chicken Salad

Posted by Donna-Marie Pye on

Coronation Chicken Salad

This dish was created in 1953, for the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth. Coronation chicken has been said to have been inspired by Jubilee Chicken, a dish prepared for the Silver Jubilee of George V in 1935. The essential ingredients are curry and mango chutney, reflecting the English love of Indian cuisine. In honour of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee (June 2-5, 2022), it's only right that we serve up this delicious recipe once again. If you are watching the celebrations on television, keep your eyes peeled for Donna-Marie in the crowds as she heads to England for the celebrations!
