February is already here, bringing its share of short days and freezing temperatures. After a busy January, I’ve decided that February will be my self-care and culinary exploration month. Speaking of culinary discoveries, have you checked out our special selection of recipes for the Super Bowl this week? We’ve thought of everything to make your evening memorable and hassle-free. Whether you’re hosting a big party or a small gathering with friends, we’ve got you covered. And the cherry on top? You can order up to 8 portions of the same recipe, an ideal option to treat all your guests without any logistical worries. So, let us take care of the cooking, and enjoy your evening to the fullest!

Here are the three recipes that caught my attention this week.

Chicken Pho Soup with ginger, bok choy, basil, mint and lime

Let yourself be carried away by the comforting warmth of our incredible Chicken Pho Soup, specially crafted to warm you up during cold days. This recipe invites you on a culinary adventure where flavours blend exquisitely. Picture a rich broth infused with the spicy kick of ginger and a medley of Chinese spices, including the famous blend of five spices that adds depth to this soup. The fragrant notes of fresh basil, invigorating mint, and zesty lime bring a subtle and refreshing touch to every spoonful, making this soup comforting and incredibly appetizing. Dive into this sensory experience and discover perfection in a bowl of warm delights.

Za’atar Spiced Halloumi Skewers with chickpea and vegetable salad and hummus

These skewers, perfect for a light and balanced meal, truly celebrate Mediterranean flavours. The halloumi, grilled to perfection with zaatar spices, offers a crispy texture and an incomparable taste. Generously topped with colourful bell peppers, crunchy cucumbers, and fresh mint, the chickpea salad brings an unmatched freshness to each bite. Accompanied by a touch of hummus, these skewers are an absolute delight for the taste buds and an explosion of flavours in the mouth.

Reuben Beef Burger with Swiss cheese, cabbage, Thousand Island sauce, pickle and chips

Discover our Beef Reuben Burger, topped with Swiss cheese, cabbage, Thousand Island dressing, pickles, and crispy chips. This burger is a must-have from our special selection for the Superbowl, perfect for a successful sports evening. With its sautéed onions, melted Swiss cheese, and creamy Thousand Island sauce, each bite offers an explosion of flavours. The crunchy pickles and refreshing texture of the cabbage salad add an extra dimension, while the crispy chips accompanying the burger complete the experience. A true essential for burger lovers and Superbowl fans!

We have everything you need for a memorable evening: pre-cooked ribs by Paul le Gourmet, delicious Mexican pâté from Fromagerie Victoria, vegan bites from État Végétal, salted butter popcorn from Bad Monkey, and a selection of Mexican products offered by MTL Gringo.
