This tasty spring salad has seasonal sugar snap peas and arugula that are tossed with a light olive oil-balsamic vinaigrette, caramelized shallots and topped with some fresh goat cheese.

You don’t have to miss out on a family favourite with this gluten-free option. Mushrooms are filled with goodness from important minerals like Potassium (which aids the function of nerves and muscles – including the heart) and Selenium (which protects the body’s cells) to many B vitamins (which are important for the nervous system). Ancient Egyptians believed they were the plant of immortality according to hieroglyphics – they banned commoners from eating them so that royalty could have an abundant supply. Enjoy this meal, you are in good company.

Celery and peanuts not only added some nice crunch, but also gave the salad some delicious tang and nuttiness. Very easy to prepare, for the best result, put it in the fridge for a couple of hours or overnight to allow the flavor to combine. Tasty and refreshing!

Making pot stickers are pretty much as same as making dumplings, the only thing different is how to cook them. Instead of boiling in the water, we fry them in a nonstick skillet with a bit oil, which really develops a layer of golden, brown and crispy bottoms with great texture. Serve these yummy pot stickers with a mixture of rice vinegar, a little bit soy sauce, a dash of sesame oil and splash of hot pepper oil.
