Cakes of any kind can be found within the history of so many countries and cultures. This is one of our favourites!
Italian American cuisine is given credit for this delicious sandwich around the turn of the century. Great for summer company and groups of all ages. Serve alongside a simple Lucali Salad.

Simple, fresh ingredients come together quickly for a summer barbecue. Chicken thighs have a higher fat content than breasts and more intense flavour. Boneless and skinless thighs absorb the delicious lemony marinade in no time.
The great debate between Manhattan Clam Chowder made with tomatoes and New England Clam Chowder made with cream have their purist fans. We love both! And mostly the clams!
Swedish Meatballs are considered a national food, often served with mashed potatoes and lingonberry jam. Shop ahead for the lingonberry jam (Amazon or Ikea). You can replace with Cranberries if you want to serve something sweet with the meatballs.
Greek Salad is a family favourite and served throughout the summer and fall when the vegetables are at their peak.
