Sweet, salty, gooey, and crunchy. This flatbread has a combination of ingredients that are delicious on their own, but when combined, are pure heaven. This recipe is an adaptation of a popular menu item from a little brunch place in Little Italy/Portugal in Toronto...

Guacamole with Pomegranates
Are you thinking 'What the what?! Pomegranates in guacamole? This Chinese girl from Canada is crazy.' Seriously, I don't blame you but I swear this is the real deal. I'll always remember my first authentic Mexican meal after moving to Arizona at Barrio Cafe...
Five-Spice Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Chinese New Year is this weekend and I'm new year prep mode. Unlike its January 1st counterpart, which is basically about a countdown followed by new years resolutions, Chinese New Year feels so much more celebratory. Typically, the weeks leading up to the new year...

Mushroom Soup
As a brat kid, my favourite soup wasn't any of the amazing homemade Chinese soups my mom made from scratch every night. Not the cream of corn or egg drop, or the other dozen or so in the rotation. Nope, none of those could top my true love for canned cream of...
