Mangoes are my favourite fruit so we bought a case of mangoes and had one a day for about 2 weeks. Once the last few were a bit overripe, I made a smoothie out of them. I made a non-alcoholic sparkling version:
Blend ripe mangoes until smooth
Carbonated/sparkling water or juice
Optional: alcohol of your choice
I tried making a few variations of avocado toast. The bacon and egg version was probably my favourite (with or without the avocado). This one has avocado, tomatoes, pea shoots topped with an egg on a slice of sourdough.
When I first came across their Instagram photos, I loved the styling and the dishes they made. Philip and Mystique, the creators of Chef Sous Chef, cook with fresh ingredients and share their recipes on their blog. I got in touch with them to document them in their natural element.
As they often do on a Saturday morning, they picked up a few local and delicious things from St. Lawrence Market and headed to the waterfront for a picnic. See how it all came together:
Fresh, sweet strawberries from a local Ontario farm
Meats and cheese from St. Lawrence Market
Country baguette and peonies, also from the market
Philip and Mystique, you make such a great team.
