Христос Воскрес! It’s a Sunday Night Ukrainian Easter Dinner Series! Chocolate eggs one week and paska (Ukrainian Easter Bread) the next? I’ll be bringing my basket! This is more or less a traditional Ukrainian dinner prepared by the Pazukha’s… how’s that for a last name? Recipes too!

There was quite a bit of hype when Pronto Caffe first opened last year and it was mostly due to Vancouver’s sandwich craze, specifically for the porchetta sandwich. As a neighbourhood restaurant it’s a good choice with it’s casual and cozy atmosphere and affordable prices.

It supports local suppliers and seasonal ingredients, and it’s a very West Coast version of Canadian cuisine. The food is fresh and good quality and it offers sophisticated versions of the basics that are still very approachable.

Fried chicken has been the craze for the last few years in New York and the one at Peels has made several “Top 10 Best Fried Chicken in New York” lists. The menu features gourmet comfort food and American regional classics and it was an eclectic approach to farm to table dining.

It offers breakfasts, salads, sandwiches, and healthy options made with fresh ingredients. It’s affordable, clean, comfortable, straight forward, casual and everything is made in house besides the bread. It’s a great every day kind of place for breakfast or lunch.
Follow Me Foodie to Jamaica! It was a visit to Belcour Preserves in Blue Mountains, Jamaica and this is Robin’s Scotch Egg recipe featuring her Honey Mustard Pepper Sauce and Honey Jerk Hot Sauce made in her backyard.

It does have that “chain-like” atmosphere, but it was comfortable and no different than say your Moxie’s or Earls. The menu was more like The Keg and it’s casual dining and a modern take on a steakhouse.
