  1. I made this for dinner tonight and it was great. The instructions say to add honey but it wasn't in the ingredients list so I added about a tablespoon.

Here in Canada we are motivated more than ever to learn to make our favourite dishes ourselves, as we are far away from family and friends. We have a passion for peasant food, wine and beer - but it is the food of families not gourmet chefs, and we can only truly enjoy it when we share it with others!
