Lawrence Restaurant Montreal

Today's Provender shoot was at Lawrence restaurant. This was so exciting for me because I am a regular at Lawrence and Lawrence butcher shop. At Lawrence, I find it hard not to order the exact same brunch every time, The English Breakfast is always calling my name with some homemade donuts on the side. Upon entering the kitchen I smiled and said "so this is where the magic happens".

I spent an hour watching Marc and his chefs whip up some classic Lawrence dishes like their Burger and Fries, Sandwiches, Salads, Chicken Liver Beet salad and Grey Bream with root veggies. Thanks so much to Marc for allowing me this opportunity to see the inner workings of his kitchen. See you guys for brunch soon.

As always, a big thank you to Provender!

Easter at Fuchsia

I hope everyone had a fantastic Easter. We spent ours eating a delicious homemade feast of Shabu Shabu at Fuchsia. Shabu Shabu is a Japanese dish which is also really big in Korea. You order a mix of broths, with lots of veggies, noodles and thinly sliced meats. Everything goes into the broth and cooks for a few minutes even the meat which is wafer thin.

Boram spent most of her day in the kitchen preparing a feast for about 15 people. She made three different broths, my favourite, being the spicy, as always. I was very familiar with this dish during my two year stint in Seoul, Korea, where I became addicted to spicy food. It was a weekly treat.

One of my favourite things about Fuchsia, aside from the food, are the beautiful animals that roam the place. I am in love with Charlie, he is just a cuddle puddle.

Thanks so much to Binky for including us in this get together and to Boram for the incredible flavours and joy you brought to my taste buds.
