From street-food to fine dining, traditional Italian to Asian-Fusion, being well-versed in global cuisine is the first step to culinary mastery.
To the Avocado
Oh, avocados! You have been in my orbit for most of my life, though my feelings towards you have changed. I remember our first encounter: me, a little girl, peering over the kitchen counter at my mother's lunch time creation. You: spread evenly over a piece of bread, tucked in gently under a soft bed of sprouts. I am not going to lie to you, avocados. Observing your bumpy skin and your green goo-ey inside, I did not share my mother's enthusiastic yum!

Lauren’s Spicy Buffalo Chicken Pizza
My quest for the perfect Buffalo chicken pizza occurred when I was about 22 years old. Even though I loved it when I was younger, I wasn't much of a cook anymore. If the recipe called for an oven, I wasn't going to touch it because I burned everything.

Home Made cooked Egg Kosha with Mom Love from Nanighar
Egg kosha is a traditional Bengali delicacy. It is a spicy egg curry which is prepared by cooking boiled eggs over low heat until the curry becomes thick, dark and velvety. This is truly a mouth watering dish and usually enjoyed with warm white rice, relaxed on a Sunday afternoon for lunch. This heavy and rich curry leaves you full by the stomach but never by your heart and you keep asking for more, licking your fingers. The authenticity of this dish is best enjoyed when made by a mother in a traditional bengali household in her kitchen. The true flavors of this rich dish are only reflected a 100% through a mother’s cooking.

A Canadian Inspired Superbowl Sunday
Every year Superbowl Sunday is watched by millions of people around the world, and of course, no Superbowl Sunday is complete without food! This year, in honour of The Weeknd headlining the half-time show, we decided to theme our menu in honour of this occasion. The Weeknd is the first Canadian performer to ever headline the Superbowl half-time show, so it was only fitting to celebrate the day with some Canadian favourite dishes and drinks!

Redneck Style Ready
Game Day food? Phase one Games (mid-morning ones): Wings, of course! Celery with Bleu cheese or Ranch. Fries. It's really that simple at our house. It is our tradition. No fuss and no buss. Just snacking down and watching our favorite team. Sometimes we cook them and sometimes we order out. But every time we are happy to just relax, munch on finger foods and yell at the referees.

Game Day Snacks
You never had a game day until you’ve had it with me. I like to add all my favorite snacks to the menu. I have been able to travel and live in many different places so I take with me a culture from the places I’ve lived. I grew up in New Orleans, LA, one of the best places to visit. New Orleans is full of traditions and culture. We have some of the best food in the World. One of my Favorite foods is Shrimp Poboy. A Poboy is a large sandwich that was first made to feed families who were on strike from the New Orleans Street Cars not running. Many families lost money from not working, so the Martin Brothers from the French Market Restaurant in 1929 decided to feed the unemployed workers on Strick because they too were out of work. The Poboy was made to be a long and big sandwich so that when divided into pieces everyone would still get a big portion to eat. My Favorite is the Shrimp Poboy which consists of French Bread, Fried Shrimp, Lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, seasoning and mustard for me. You can add hot sauce or whatever you want after that. I like my poboy Packed with Overflowing Fried Shrimp. A Shrimp poboy sandwich is so big you have to hold it with two hands. Once you bite into it, it feels like heaven. One of the best Sandwiches you will ever taste in your life. The next thing on the menu would be Southern Style Nachos. I used to live in Houston Texas and that is where I learned to make Southern Style Nachos. This style of Nachos is made with Velveeta Cheese or any type of melted cheese that will be creamy and melty. I like to add either Turkey Ground meat cause I don’t eat much beef or Beyond meat for Vegan Lovers and Rotel Tomatoes. No meal like this is complete without Onions, Green Peppers, Garlic and Tony Chachere Seasoning. I use Tony Chachere seasoning on all my food. It is one of the best seasonings in New Orleans with a Cajun Seasoning taste. You know I have to add My New Orleans Traditions to the taste. My Nachos I like to add Tortilla Chips to it or some people like to eat it with Doritos. What Chips you eat it with is all up to you. Southern nachos is one of the best nachos I’ve ever had. It’s like Queso and chips in a Mexican Restaurant but better Bec of the meat. You will love it.

The Perfect Feast
Admit it, the moment you read the challenge name, your mind most likely went either to chips or chicken wings. Even the description has spicy wings as an option, along with chips and dip! I know for certain that if anyone ever invites me over for a game day, they always have some form of chicken wings out for all to feast upon with a plethora of chips and dips on the side. With so many different options to chose from, you can never go wrong with either option. So, why not do both? Let us begin with our main course.

Ameriguese Cuisine
There is something so special and almost intimate about food. When you break bread with others, you connect with them. You open up and they do, too. I love cooking and connecting with people over food. Any food. Sweet, savory, drive through, high end... It doesn't matter, I love it all. Not just for the delicious flavors, but for the connection.

Score Big with This Super Bowl Snack
For me, the Super Bowl is a modern version of the classic tale of two opposing forces battling it out to see who emerges victorious. This year, it’s even more symbolic with a king holding steadfast to the throne and a daring prince rallying to replace him. This story within the story is one of the reasons I'm excited to watch the game. Oh... and the food.
