Decadent and sophisticated, smooth and indulgent, rich and flavourful… You’ve guessed it: we have chocolate on our minds.

Saturday, July 7^th is World Chocolate Day, which might just be our new favourite holiday!

The best way to celebrate any holiday is with delicious food, so we’ve turned to French cooking experts Emily and Giselle Roux, authors of New French Table, for their take on the classic dessert: chocolate mousse.

This simple recipe requires only four ingredients and is easy to make at home, but the mouth-watering results will impress any chocolate lover.

Summer is here, and that means sunshine, sandy beaches, and seasonal recipes perfect for enjoying in the backyard, at a campsite, or on the ocean-view terrace of your holiday villa.

You can prep at home or buy fresh ingredients when you arrive. Whatever you choose, we know you’ll love these easy summer dishes.

Bon appetit!

Light, flavourful, colourful, and delicious, Japanese cuisine has quickly become a worldwide favourite among foodies everywhere. Sushi is one of the most popular Japanese dishes, and there are over 4,000 sushi restaurants in the United States alone.

Making sushi is an art form that chefs train for years to perfect, mastering the crucial delicate fragility of both texture and flavour that is key to all Japanese cooking.

Maki-zushi, or rolled sushi, can be especially intricate, but making sushi at home doesn’t have to be that difficult.

In Japanese Home Cooking, Chihiro Masui and HanaéKaédé assure home cooks that most Japanese recipes take no more than 30 minutes of preparation time, from start to finish.
