Spaghetti Vongole
Vongole means “clams” in Italian and Spaghetti Vongole has stayed close to the original recipes from the coastal regions of Italy. Add tomatoes instead of greens if you like, but do go to a trusted fishmonger for the best seafood.

Risotto with Oregano and Brown Butter Scallops
Even though Risotto takes a bit of time to prepare, it is simple to make. This classic Italian dish is buttery and creamy rich. We added high quality scallops and some sautéed oregano for an elegant entree.
Turmeric Chickpeas with Spinach and Shishito Peppers
A hearty vegetarian meal, packed with flavour and topped with Shishito Peppers. Shishito Peppers are small, green peppers from Japan. Similar to a Spanish Padron pepper or a skinny Jalapeño, but nowhere near as spicy, except for the odd one. We like to serve it …

Pasta Primavera
Pasta Primavera certainly sounds Italian, but it was first made popular by an Italian Chef in New York. Our recipe most often only uses chicken stock for a lighter approach, but many recipes add an equal amount of cream; and that is delicious as well.
Creamy Seafood Pasta
Scallops or lobster work equally well in this very simple pasta dish. Lemon zest flavours the creamy sauce and balances the sweet scallops or lobster.
Shrimp Risotto
Shrimp, lemon and tomatoes start to taste like spring! This Italian classic does not have the ever-present Parmesan Cheese and honestly, it’s so creamy you don’t miss it. We prefer to cook the shrimp on the side (in a little butter, oil and garlic; with …
Cheesy Chili Mac
This 1 skillet dish is reminiscent of American Goulash, made with tomatoes, ground meat, elbow macaroni and cheese. It is quick comfort food for an easy weeknight meal. We just about always build a bowl, it is easier for Gluten and Gluten Free options.
Sushi Rice
Sushi Rice is a Japanese short grain rice that cooks up starchy, soft and sticky. After cooking it is flavoured with unseasoned rice vinegar, sugar and salt; so, the flavour is different from other types of rice.
