It had been a long time since I was able to visit one of my favourite places, a true paradise for anyone who loves cooking, beautiful housewares, and everything connected to the kitchen. Today, I wandered through the aisles of Vancouver's Gourmet Warehouse with so much joy, discovering little treasures and finding inspiration around every corner.

I wanted to make a peanut fried rice like used to make in Canada using a bought peanut Szechuan sauce. Of course, there isn’t anything like this in Italy therefore I’ve created this recipe to add to my fried rice.

While pork chops are delicious, grilling or baking can cause them to dry out. A flavorful sauce makes all the difference, and this easy recipe pairs perfectly with both grilled and baked pork chops.

I use different versions of vegetable purée in my meatloaf recipes, to thicken soups, in lasagnas or a skillet pasta. The vegetable can be roasted then puréed with broth or cream or can be cooked in vegetable broth then puréed once cooked.

Fresh, bold, and full of flavor, this homemade minced garlic brings rich, savory depth to any dish. Made from fresh cloves with no unnecessary additives, it’s the perfect kitchen staple for sauces, marinades, and everyday cooking. 🧄
