Swap Recipe: Jenn’s Zucchini Summer Salad with Lemon, Mint and Walnuts
Raw food veganism, you got me this time. As many of you know, July in Toronto was frequently the equivalent of living in a steam oven. Attempting to be an optimistic opportunist, I thought about how it would have been cool to bake bread and see that yeast kick into action, making dough rise in […]

Swap Round Up: April, oh April!
As April came to a close, we had another super successful food swap. Like March’s food swap, this one was on the small side, with six participants in total — but that didn’t cut into the creativity or quality of the dishes at all. Our unconscious theme, it appears, was ‘salad,’ as three of our […]
Swap Recipe: Jenn’s Honey-Roasted Chickpeas, Kale + Carrot Salad
This honey-roasted chickpeas, kale and carrot salad (with a honey sesame dressing) is a simple crunchy salad with a sweet and savoury blend. This combination is but one way of using these flavours – I think the honey-roasted chickpeas could be spiced a bit more and would make a great on-the-go snack, and the dressed […]
