Peach and burrata salad
This unexpected marriage of peach, burrata and prosciutto has been one of my favourite summer salads on repeat. I was introduced to this delicious combination for the first time at La Vecchia, and I was committed to re-create at home it for my own indulgence, and to share it with friends and family. It’s been…

The Ultimate Dinner Platter
I did not plan on writing a recipe post this weekend, but I made such a fun and colourful dinner platter last night that it deserves a spot here because I’d love for you to try it. This aesthetic platter looks as though so much planning was put into it – but the opposite couldn’t…

Clementine and Pomegranate Salad with Honey and Halva
It has been too long since I posted a recipe here, and I’m excited to share this one with you. I recently made this fruit salad again, and it made my heart sing. The ingredients are in peak season right now, so I encourage you to try it out. I know, when you think of…

Fall Charcuterie Board
One of the perks of living in the city is being walking distance from major event venues, which has been so nice to return to with everything reopening again this year.

Easter Brunch
We hosted family brunch for Easter this year, and it was so nice to be able to do that again. I hadn’t exercised that part of my brain in so long (since planning our wedding!) so it felt nice to plan a menu and put together a table setting. If you’re well-acquainted with my blog,…

Picnics. Even before we were all forced indoors, picnics are stamped as some of my…

“Quarantine Passport” Birthday Idea
It seems that everyone will get their turn at a quarantine birthday. Some may even get two as we approach the anniversary of COVID. Last February, my husband and I sat at one of his favourite restaurants to celebrate his birthday, unbeknownst to us that a looming pandemic would lock down the world a month…

Camping Meals
August always brings that bittersweet nostalgia that comes with the end of summer. City carnivals get set up, sunflowers are in full bloom and school bags and pumpkins slowly start making an appearance in retail stores. August, to me, also symbolizes camping season as it’s been a ritual of ours to go camping at the…

Summer Charcuterie Board
Ever since I started posting recipe and meal ideas on here, I came to realize that I should really dedicate a post to my “go-to” dish that I always put together when having one friend or a gathering of people over. You’ve seen hosting ideas on here before, whether it be for chilli, tacos or…

Afternoon Tea
My Instagram is no stranger to perfectly-placed flat lay shots of cozy Afternoon Tea spreads. If you know me, you know that I’m obsessed with tea, antiques and delicious treats, and going for Afternoon Tea checks off all those boxes. My first experience with High Tea was when I planned my best friend’s bridal shower, and I’ve been…
