Family Day falls hot on the heels of Valentine’s Day this year. How wonderful to have so much love packed within just a few days! We're here with ideas and inspiration to help you make the most of both of these special days as a little break from this long winter season.

Valentine's Day is synonymous with chocolate, of course, and Chef Ran—our culinary coordinator and amazing lead of our gift basket division—has created a decadent Chocolate Lovers’ basket designed to delight and impress anyone with a sweet tooth.
And we're excited by another chocolate option this year too... one of this past holiday season's biggest hits was Haven’s Creamery Bella Toffee. We are thrilled Haven's will be joining us to sample their sensational Valentine’s toffee this Saturday, Feb. 7 in store at Jill's Table. It's covered in indulgent Belgian dark chocolate, finished with a strawberry white chocolate drizzle, then topped with toasted almonds, freeze dried strawberries, and a touch of Maldon salt. It's incredible. Drop into the store from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. for a taste.

Not everyone's sweeties are fond of sweets, but we've got you covered. How about a lovely Valentine’s dinner packaged in a gift bag?
Our Italian Gift Bag features the wonderful Zaccagni pasta and sauce from Italy, and also includes delicious Catherine’s antipasto, crunchy breadsticks, and biscotti to enjoy at the end of this easy to prepare meal. It's $55 and includes ingredients for 4 meals. Pick it up in-store or (like all our gifts) have it delivered within London for only $10 more.

If your idea of Valentine’s feasting is unhurried and relaxed, you’ll love our thoughtfully curated Charcuterie For Two. You can take your time nibbling away, sampling a selection of primarily Canadian delicacies, including Leslie Stowe Raincoast Crisps, Sea Change Salmon Paté, Jill’s Table Apple Tamarind Chutney and much more.
|
|
|
In store we carry more than 20 kind of olives, 15+ types of cheeses, more than a dozen spreads and pates, and eight varieties each of cured meats and fabulous nuts. If you'd like to build a charcuterie board of your own (including a beautiful, locally-handmade board if you need) we're here to help. Paired with a nice bottle of wine, a charcuterie board makes for a perfectly romantic and simple night in.

For a refreshing and sweet ending to a Valentine's meal, we're sharing a simple but elegant white wine strawberry sorbet drink.
This is inspired by a delicious drink-slash-dessert introduced to me while hosting a trip to the Basque region of Spain this year, and it looks especially charming served in a La Rochère "bee" flute.

This has been a fan favourite for many years and gets an extra protein boost from quinoa. It's one of those cozy dishes the whole family just loves.

And speaking of well-loved recipes, if you have not yet tried our sheet pan gnocchi recipe we urge you to give it a go. To help with that, we've prepared a special in-store-only February bundle—perfect for either Valentine’s Day or Family Day—that includes a sheet pan and the recipe's key ingredients: semi-dried or sundried tomatoes and gnocchi.
You will need to do a bit of market or grocery shopping to complete the recipe, but this easy family recipe has been our number one requested recipe after 26 years in business. We LOVE this recipe and know you will too!
|
Here’s hoping there’s a special meal in your plans for Valentine’s Day and Family Day... or even better, both!
Wishing you all a wonderful February filled with great eats and lots of love!

P.S. a friendly reminder: grant applications to my foundation are open throughout February. The Jill Wilcox Foundation, started in 2012, helps women and children in food-related initiatives. If you know an organization that could benefit, please do spread the word!
