Snapper and Crab Cakes
These Snapper and Crab Cakes make me think of my dad. He has been making the original Rick Stein Crab Cake version for as long as I can remember and they are always a favourite. This version is based off his original recipe with the main seafood coming from the snapper instead of crab. And […]

Pork Belly Sliders with a Fennel Apple Slaw

Old School Spinach Dip
Who doesn’t love an Old School Spinach Dip? You know the one – served in a bread bowl and once a staple of every backyard gathering. I have to say, it’s still a favourite here and one that regularly appears when doing any sort of afternoon entertaining. It’s just such a winning dip. It’s quick […]

Quick Chicken and Corn Soup
