*Recipe Tips
PLANNING TO COOK GLUTEN-FREE? Before preparing a recipe always read product labels to ensure each ingredient is gluten-free. Products and ingredients can change.
Oka cheese, originally a local cheese made by monks at their monastery in Oka, Quebec, is now widely available across Canada. By putting the cheese in the freezer 15 minutes before grating it, the job will be much easier!
Trim tough ends off larger, less tender asparagus spears by cutting them where the colour changes from light green-purple to dark green - or simply snap off the ends where they naturally break. Locally grown asparagus is available from May to July in many parts of Canada.
