If you prefer a spicier lemonade, steep for longer than 30 minutes. Serve the strained ginger and chili flakes in a small bowl as a garnish alongside the lemonade.

Avocado Bruschetta

For this recipe, use avocados that are fully ripe (there should be some give when you squeeze them).

Cabbage Slaw With Lime Vinaigrette

This vinaigrette is intense on its own but finds perfect balance when tossed with cabbage. Be generous with your salt; the slaw can handle quite a bit.

Brandon Olsen’s Famous Fried Chicken With Buttermilk Dill Sauce

We’re thrilled that Brandon Olsen, chef at Toronto’s La Banane and the chocolatier behind CXBO Chocolates, is sharing this recipe with us. Fried chicken is one of his secret superpowers — it’s crispy, juicy and out of this world.
