Lentil Shiitake Hippy Taco Bowl

This is a powerhouse of a meal. It may take a few steps but it is super nourishing and delicious. Feel free to omit the egg.

Sides & Salads

Smokey Lentil | Jicama | Hearts of Palm | Peanut Salad

This dish is similar to a ceviche but made vegan by replacing the fish with hearts of palm and lentils. I am serving this on a tostada but it can be served as a salad or in individual martini glasses with chips on the side as you would a ceviche. Pasilla chilis can be found at specialty stores and are stored at room temp in your pantry. They have an incredible earthy taste and are not spicy.

Grilled Butterflied Leg of Lamb with Herb Marinade and Spoon

sauce Grilling a butterflied leg of lamb is so easy. Once it is cooked, slice it thin (as you would a flank steak). This marinade is fantastic on lamb chops as well.

Sides & Salads

Charred Figs | Manchego | Honeyed Walnuts

Have you ever dipped a sharp cheese in honey?  If you haven’t, you need to try it!  The combination is so flavourful and fantastic.  And to make it even better, try adding grilled figs, oozing with their summer juices and sweetness.

Korean Steak with Marinated Cucumbers

This Korean marinade is irresistible and a fantastic easy entertaining dish! You can use a skirt steak, flank steak or flat iron steak for this. Marinate it as short as an hour at room temp or overnight in the fridge. The cucumber salad is a little bonus but really delicious!

Korean Steak Tacos with Marinated Cucumbers

I love tacos and I love Korean flavours. This combination is irresistible and a fantastic easy summer entertaining dish! Both skirt steak and flank steak need a long marinading time and need to be sliced super thin once cooked.

Sides & Salads

Pineapple Kimchi Fried Rice

The combination of the spicy and vinegary kimchi with the sweet and tangy pineapple is really outstanding. Make sure that when you are cutting the pineapple you use a cutting board with a moat so that you can capture any pineapple juices that run off.

Kickin’ Strawberry Margarita

I love this margarita because you can make the mix a day or two in advance and shake it or blend it with ice once you’re ready to serve.  And the unique salt on the rim of the glass is epic!  The sweet salty heat is perfect for this tangy, fruity (and sexy I may add) strawberry margarita mixture.  The added bit of Jalapeño is totally optional, but trust me, your guests will be remembering this cocktail for a long time!

Sheet Pan Kebabs with Tomato, Onions and Tahini

I serve this dish with pita and a chopped Israeli salad.  The Israeli salad is easily prepared using equal parts chopped tomato and cucumber, chopped red onion, a squeeze of lemon, a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper to taste.
