Jasmine salt & pepper spice mix

October 22, 2015 by Ariel 1 Comment

Why not jazz up the typical “salt & pepper” with this lightly flavoured jasmine salt & pepper mix.  I’ve been using it on grilled meat, veggy stir fry and even tofu!  The light jasmine aroma is a nice added touch to merguez and green cabbage stir fry and the lemon zest clear up the taste just enough to bring all your flavours together.

Delicate & worth it….

The Perfect Lemon Squares

April 24, 2012 by Ariel 2 Comments

We had some really good weather in Montreal a couple of weeks ago…  The sun was out, the birds too and it really felt like a hot summer day.  I decided to make some lemon squares that week end because there is something with lemon and the bright light of the sun that I find match perfectly.  I always make sure not to add too much sugar in my preparation because I find it’s an mistake that some people do often.  I understand that some might want to over power the zesty taste of the lemons with sugar and vanilla but it’s really not my case…  I remember eating the lemon straight up like that when I was a kid and loving the tangy/zesty aroma of this fruit.  I hope you will enjoy this recipe, I wish I had better photos because those were taken a little while ago but those were the only one I had on my computer…

…I guess I’ll have to do another post on lemon squares in the future…
