Tis’ the season for creating and connecting in La Cucina! Looking back on your festive food favourites, it’s DOLCI all the way!

Strawberry Recipes to Enjoy All Summer | La Cucina di Kerrs
Our visit to our local farm to pick-our-own strawberries has always been a traditional way for us to kick-start summer. Ontario’s berries aren’t the biggest, but they are certainly among the most delicious. We’ve rounded up our favourite simple Strawberry Recipes to Enjoy All Summer long, including a new salad recipe we just devoured this weekend. They’re all BERRY good, if I do say so
Festive Burrata Pomegranate Aperitivo Plate | La Cucina di Kerrs
Let’s aperitivo & open the holiday food palate with our Festive Burrata Pomegranate Plate! Life is full & fast again, it seems, and DadChef and I spend most of our “down time” being Mom/Dad-Uber to our older two who have more of a social life than we do 😉, but last weekend we intentionally found a few fleeting moments to slow in between the drive-around
Open-Faced Roasted Tomato Caprese Panini | La Cucina di Kerrs
So long Summer means you may have seasonal produce lingering on your countertops. Like a fine vino, tomatoes can get better with age, but the wrinkly skin texture may be off-putting and have you questioning if you should pitch em’…DON’T! In Italian cuisine, tomatoes are “the golden fruit” and there is always a way to #zerowaste these beauties. A simple, quick slow roast will salvage
6 Mom-Approved Spring Brunch Recipes
While we’ve been waiting for Spring to, well, spring around here (we may be skipping it altogether here in the Toronto area and going straight to Summer!), #DadChef and I have been trying out some Spring-y recipes. In lieu of heading to a busy restaurant for Mom’s Day, I’ve already given the fam a nudge that a quiet, simple celebration at home enjoying some of

Simple Pasta Recipes That Bring Spring’s Palette to Your Plates | La Cucina di Kerrs
Spring is usually my favourite season – signs of renewal, beautiful buds popping and lots of family celebrations to look forward to. This year feels like a slow creep instead of a leap into the season energy-wise, we’ve got lots on our plate with a fast and full family calendar, and it’s calling for a bit of food revival to keep up. If you’re looking
Love-Themed Food Ideas For Your Family Lovefest At-Home | La Cucina di Kerrs
If ‘All We Need is Love’, I think the world would use an extra-dose right about now. I’ve still much to learn in this life, but I do know that when life has dragged me down lower then I possibly thought I could go, leaning harder into love (for myself, for my partner, for my people who need no impressions at all, for things that
