// In Praise of Larger Salad Bowls

I love my lunch salads, regardless of the season and how 'cold' it is outside— so this summer we're embracing the 'larger' salad bowl, celebrating with more healthy and flavourful salad moments: lobster and red snapper included, with balanced dressings. Currently loving this Acacia Wood bowl, and more linked pieces after the jump. It's going to be a wild one...

// Rhubarb & Ginger Granita

An end of spring and early summer beat-the-heat icy treat: Rhubarb & Ginger Granita, and I'd add more on the horizon... This simple granita was so much fun especially as it was the first time I 'worked' with the garden rhubarb. There's always much excitement with new recipe experimenting and my market rhubarb did not disappoint, celebrating with me during the process. For a slight 'zing', I added a little fresh ginger during the stove top simmering, and here we are a few hours later. Refreshing and delightfully delicious! And such a cheery colour.
