LCBO Food & Drink Early Summer 2019

We know there are die-hard barbecuers who grill year-round, but most of us tend to wait until summer is peeping over the horizon. Well, that time has finally come and to celebrate we’ve created a burger party like no other, complete with delectable salads and highly original ice creams. And how better to toast the new season than with a new cocktail? We have five fresh creations for you to try out that we’re sure will become favourites. Summer feasts are fun, but so is more casual entertaining when you don’t have to cook for a crowd: check out our ideas for snacking platters and drinks suited to a range of occasions. Or if you’re wondering what to cook for Mother’s or Father’s Day, let the professionals inspire you.We asked four top chefs what they cook for their parents and we share these recipes with you. Summer is on its way… Let the entertaining begin! EARLY SUMMER
