My Secret Ingredient

“One of our favourite secret ingredients is Alberta honey. We use a lot of varieties, including Lola Canola Honey, which is easy to get at the local farmers’ market. The company has a good assortment of unique honeys that we use in our desserts, like saskatoon berry honey, which makes for a nice contrast for the Italian custard desserts we prepare in the summer. Plenty of our dressings have honey as well. We do a simple honey and red wine vinaigrette that is probably our most popular.

We also love the potatoes from local market gardeners Greens, Eggs and Ham. They grow a really unique yellow potato that roasts really nice and fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. We buy their duck eggs too and we use them in our quiches and in our baking. We love them because they have no hormones, are naturally grown and equal in nutrients to almost two chickens’ eggs.
