I LOVE FOOD!!! In my mind food is never boring and I am always excited to plan my next meal. My family and friends all know that I have a large, healthy appetite and am always in the mood for eating! When I first met my husband 9 years ago I did not know a thing about cooking, nor was I interested in learning. Now, I love to cook and enjoy spending time in the kitchen preparing new recipes using cookbooks and helpful tips from friends.

Oven Roasted Tomato With Basil Bruschetta
Whether you are entertaining a large group, having a cozy dinner for two or enjoying wine with friends, WILDLY DELICIOUS products are always a part of a great, yummy menu plan. There are loads of different mouth watering flavours to satisfy every one’s unique tastes.
One of my favourites is the Caramelized Onion and Maple Confit. The exquisite versatility of this product makes it a must have in your pantry. It consists of deep brown maple syrup from Quebec, folded into golden caramelized onions. It is the perfect condiment to serve with soft ripened cheeses or together with a cold meat plate. On Canada Day, I spread some on top of my grilled salmon. It was absolutely fantastic!

We have so many different products in the store right now from Wildly Delicious, it is hard for me to narrow down which the best ones are to focus on! One item which in fact is so delicious that most people do not know what to do with are COMPOTES. They are mainly meant to elevate and compliment, but never mask, the wonderful flavour of your favourite cheeses. However they can also liven up sandwiches, pair with meats and vegetables and the sweet ones can be used with your delicious desserts. We currently have these Compotes in the store: Fig, Apple & Walnut and Caramelized Onion.

We offer free wrapping at the store for those occasions when you are heading to a friends for dinner and need a small little gift in a hurry!. What better way to thank your host/hostess than bringing an amazing appetizer! Some great ides would be the Warm Dips and Serving Sets. All you do is gently heat the dip by lighting the tea light and serve with bread cubes, chips or an assortment of fresh veggies. The Serving Sets are great all year round and after the dip is finished you can use the warmer for other things like….mini chocolate/cheese fondues, or your own favourite dip made from scratch.

I almost forgot to mention the Cilantro and Chilli Chimichurri Sauce. This sauce is a mixture of fresh cilantro, parsley, garlic, chilli, oil and vinegar. This fragrant condiment is served best as a dipping sauce for steak. There is a recipe for a salad below to try with the Chimichurri Sauce. Have fun and enjoy.

Last but not least…………My other favourite, besides the Caramelized Onion Confit is the Blood Orange & Ginger Teriyaki Grilling and Roasting Glaze. This sauce is both sweet and savory and is delicious! My husband and I had it over grilled Pork Tenderloin the other night. We used some sauce while BBQing and some more drizzled over top at the end. The combination of the different flavours is unbelievable!
