How to chose the right rice

Gourmandise en Provence
Lorsque j’ai aménagé dans mon petit appartement de Marseille, j’ai aussitôt remarqué les senteurs absolument exquises qui parfument ma rue en continu! J’avais l’impression que tout le quartier sentait les Froot Loops. Je me rappelle être descendue dans la rue à la recherche de l’endroit d’où exhalait cette délicieuse odeur. C’est là que j’ai eu […]

C’est la SEMAINE MONDIALE de SENSIBILISATION AU SEL
Le canadien moyen consomme 3 fois plus(1) de sodium que ce qui est recommandé, et 50% de plus que la limite maximale. Résultat: Près de 5 millions(2) d’entre nous souffrent d’hypertension artérielle, qui est un des principaux facteurs de risque d’AVC.

Which organic fruits and vegetables should we buy?
This is the question asked by one of our members who is concerned about the presence of pesticides in fruits and vegetables. My reply below is taken from the Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides which lists the dirty dozen and clean fifteen, published by the American organization Environmental Working Group, which has prepared this guide based on […]
It’s harvest time!
In this season, good vegetables can be found in all the grocery stores. So this is the ideal time to throw together some carrots, cabbage, potatoes, rutabagas, and stewing meat for preparing a good bouilli, as we call it in Quebec, or a pot-au-feu as it is known in France. I’m proposing two different versions […]
