Bold Korean flavours and great value, this spicy pork #ssam combo from @mahtottawa was listed for two people but could easily feed 4. Assembling lettuce wraps with their housemade sauces, kimchi/mushroom pancakes, sticky rice and other pickled items was a delicious change of pace. #supportlocalottawa #koreanfood

Layers of Caribbean-style roti wrapped around an actually-spicy goat curry from @ochorioseatery (specified extra spicy in our order 😉) with plantains and rice+beans. Probably big enough to feed 2, it reminds one of us of some of his favourite eats growing up in the GTA. Looking forward to trying their oxtail next 🙌🏾. #supportlocalottawa #supportbipoc

Summers aren't summers without regular trips to our city's farmers' markets. Grateful for @ottawafarmmkt , @mainmarketottawa , @ottawamarkets, @farmscore and others who are finding ways of bringing local food to our tables!

🚨 Contest CLOSED 🚨
This year's Summer Solstice Indigenous Festival (#SSIF20), is set to celebrate the culture and contributions of #Inuit, #FirstNations and #Metis individuals in a safe, socially distant way. You can register for various Indigenous culinary and arts workshops and participate from home (on topics like foraged traditional tea 🍵 or Metis fish scale art), though many are already sold out. One such workshop that we're super excited about is run by Chef Trudy Metcalfe-Coe (@trudymetcalfe1965), one of the only Inuit Chefs in southern Canada!

Although it’s also sold out, we're giving away the chance to participate! This includes a delivered meal kit to your home and a video tutorial from Chef Trudy to create a menu of pan seared wild arctic char (courtesy of @firstfishca), roasted potatoes + asparagus and home-made hollandaise sauce! We don't often run contests, but the ability to highlight this festival was worth the exception 🙌🏾. @td_canada @indigenousculinary @indigenoustourismontario .

Full of bold flavours from all over Latin America, the DIY taco box from @thesocakitchen transported us to a warm cantina 🏖️, especially when paired with their cucumber margaritas. A great option for a dinner for 4 👏🏾.
