Hello Reader

Happy Canada Day!

Whether you're firing up the grill, entertaining friends and neighbours, or just craving something sweet and maple-kissed, I’ve got you covered.

This week’s roundup is packed with recipes that celebrate the best of Canadian flavours—from smoky BBQ mains to red-and-white desserts that’ll steal the show. Let’s eat, toast, and celebrate this beautiful country one delicious bite at a time.

Maple Mustard Glazed Salmon

Maple mustard glazed salmon is full on with flavour; sweet syrup and tingly mustard, smoothed over soft and flaky fish. As an oven-baked salmon recipe it means no fried fish fumes and is the tastiest way to get fish to your family.

Best Homemade Burgers

Break out the BBQ and make these burger patties for the best, juiciest homemade burgers! Then take them up a notch by adding our 2 Hour Hamburger Buns and our special burger sauce.

Salmon Burgers with Spicy Carrot Cucumber Slaw

Bring all the fire and spice of Thai street food to your kitchen! Salmon burgers with spicy carrot cucumber slaw have all the bang bang flavours of Thai fishcakes and Som Tam but made with conveniently locally available ingredients.

Mojito Grilled Chicken Thighs

These mojito grilled chicken thighs are a fun and playful riff off one of my favourite cocktails! It turns out that rum, mint and lime are also good with chicken. A fresh, non-fussy marinade perfect for a summer barbecue!

Classic Nanaimo Bars

These no-bake chocolate covered bars with a creamy custard filling on a crumbly chocolate coconut base are too good to leave till Christmas!

Maple Butter Tarts

Flaky mini pastry tarts filled with delicious custard, raisins and walnuts. These maple butter tarts are delicious and a true Canadian classic.


Wishing you a flavourful week ahead!

Love,
