SPRING AHEAD
|
|
|
|
|
|
Spring has never been more welcome, and neither has the upcoming Easter holiday. I look forward to celebrating with friends and family. In our home, I hope we can gather with both sides of the family, along with special "like-family" friends.
Weather permitting, we’ll spend some of our time in the back yard, and I’ll be sure to keep the menu simple so there’s more time for the much anticipated catch-up with some people we haven't seen in two years or more. This is a familiar story for many.
I'm thinking of preparing a simple ham with all the accoutrements. That includes, of course, an assortment of delicious mustards.
If you’ve ever happened to browse our mustard shelf at Jill’s Table, you will begin to understand how much I love mustard. Did you know that Canada is the largest producer of mustard seed in the world?
|
Our shelves are stocked with lots and lots of mustards. We carry many types from Kozlik’s (a Toronto brand), and a smoked apple mustard from Joe Beef in Montreal. We also carry some truly outstanding mustards from France, including one personal favourite: Edmond Fallot, one of the last independent family-run mustard businesses in Burgundy.
So many mustards! I always keep a variety on hand for vinaigrettes, sandwiches, sauces and so much more.
|
Mustards are also central in some terrific Easter recipe ideas. For a smaller holiday meal, consider my pork tenderloin with a mustard cream sauce. It’s a rendition of a dish I always make when I’m in France. If chicken is more to your liking, we’ve offered a super easy mustard and panko-crusted chicken.
For holiday meals of all sizes, we are well-stocked with roasting pans of many sizes to help; see below for featured items from All-Clad and Emile Henry. We are also bringing in all manner of great cheeses and charcuterie to help make your special holiday events easy.
When you are next in the store, be sure to fill out a ballot for a chance to win an All-Clad Essential Pan. This is one of my favourite pans due to its versatility. It is a cross between a sauté pan and a wok. It has a 4-quart capacity and is a pleasure to use. A winner will be drawn at end of day on Saturday April 30th. No purchase required to enter.
We look forward to seeing you in the store!

MUSTARD AND PANKO CRUSTED

Panko is the star in this super easy recipe. The combination of mustard and mayo keeps the chicken super moist.

Gift with purchase: we want to introduce you to one of our favourite balsamic vinegars from Italy, Maletti Regnani.

OUTDOOR MARKET RETURNS
BEGINNING SATURDAY APRIL 16

Everyone looks forward to spring, but the highlight for us is the beginning of the Outdoor Farmers' Market where we get to say hello to the vendors who provide so many wonderful ingredients and food to us throughout the year. And, of course, we love the social element of seeing our customers shopping for great local food.
