Trish Magwood’s Homemade Granola Recipe

Homemade Granola Recipe

Our April CHEF’S BOX (our delicious food of the month club that features Canada’s best chefs and their favourite food finds) was curated by celebrity chef Trish Magwood.

10 Best Vegan Food Products in Vancouver

Contributed by Erica Van Driel and Sami Rix from in the oven vegan bakery in Vancouver.

1. Yummus

This yummy hummus is exactly what it claims to be. Yash has worked hard to perfect his yummus. He’s gone further and created 4 flavours: classic, smoked, moroccan and honey.

We paired it with our favourite falafel recipe and it was amazing!
