Naturally gluten-free crostata made with buckwheat and rice flour, filled with strawberry jam and finished with cut-out flower and leaf shapes.
A rustic Italian dessert that proves gluten-free baking doesn’t have to feel like a compromise.
Best served with coffee, tea, and good company.
📌Ingredients:
85 g rice flour
50 g potato starch
30 g cornstarch
85 g buckwheat flour
70 g cane sugar
100 g butter
1 egg + 1 egg yolk
1 lemon zest
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 pinch of salt
Let dough rest for 1 hour. Press 3/4 in a buttered tart pan, prick with a fork, top with the jam. Roll the rest of the dough, cut out shapes, place on top and bake at 350F/ 180C for 25-30 minutes.

These are the salmon sliders we made for our Canadiana picnic, and they were one of the first things to disappear.
Tender pan-seared salmon, candied maple bacon, fresh toppings, and soft slider buns make the perfect summer bite.
Save this recipe for your next picnic or BBQ, and send it to someone who'd love these on their table this summer.

A Canada Day picnic inspired by Canadian food, friendship, and the simple joy of gathering outdoors.
With our friends Margaret and Raymond, we packed up a Canadiana picnic, headed to Hawrelak Park, and spent the afternoon sharing great food and plenty of conversation around the table.
🍴 On the menu: popcorn, deviled eggs, bread and butter pickles, salmon sliders with candied maple bacon, creamy coleslaw, Nanaimo bars, and fresh strawberries.
The best part? Lingering a little longer, taking in the views, and ending the day with a walk through the park.
📌 We've also shared the full Canadiana picnic on our blog,, including the menu, styling details, and our salmon slider recipe.
Would you choose this over a crowded restaurant?

One of my dad's favorite dishes growing up, and now one of mine. Simple ingredients, simply prepared: tender green beans, potatoes, extra virgin olive oil, fresh parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
It's the kind of recipe that reminds me that food isn't always about complexity. Sometimes it's about tradition, family, and the memories we carry from one generation to the next.
A dish worth saving, sharing, and making again and again.

Before carbonara. Before amatriciana. Before all the variations.
Just guanciale, pecorino, black pepper, and technique — nothing else.
Blend Pecorino and pepper with a little tap water. Finish cooking the pasta in the pan you rendered the guanciale in. Then throw in the pot with the Pecorino paste and a touch of tempered pasta water. Sprinkle crispy guanciale on top.
The mezze maniche catch the little bites of guanciale 😋👌.
A dish that’s older and more essential than people think.
✅️ Save it for when you want the roots of Roman cooking.
This is the Roman method we learned — the one that keeps the sauce creamy, never scrambled.
📍The technique:
Only yolks.
Beat them with Pecorino, pepper, and the guanciale fat until they’re almost a zabaione. (The warm guanciale fat tempers the yolks 👍).
Mezze maniche go into the pan you crisped up the guanciale with a splash of their water.
Then the egg paste.
Stir off the heat until it turns glossy and creamy.
Finish with crispy guanciale on top.
📌Ingredients
Guanciale
Egg yolks
Pecorino Romano
Black pepper
Mezze mani

✅️
1. Pecorino + pepper + tap water — mix them in a bowl to form a paste.
2. Scoop the pasta out and let it cool for a moment (this prevents the cheese from clumping).
3. Add the pasta to the Pecorino paste and swirl vigorously.
4. Drizzle tempered pasta water in slowly until it turns glossy and creamy.
5. Serve immediately.
No clumps. No broken sauce. Just real Roman creaminess.
