Vincenzo (Vince) Guzzo, Montreal based business owner and Dragons’ Den judge is continuing to push his entrepreneurial initiatives with the official expansion of his Mr. Sunshine brand to include locally made popcorn. We tasted three different popcorn flavours, which are perfect for our movie nights. 

Coffee, Lollies, Chocolate, and Eco-Friendly Firestarter

chocolate
We celebrated World Chocolate Day on July 7th with coffee and chocolate! It is known that the bold and strong flavour of coffee enhances the rich flavours of chocolate, which is why many delicious chocolate cakes have coffee in it. When I bake chocolate cake, I sometimes add a cup of brewed coffee or a few spoons of strong coffee to add flavour to the chocolate cake.

Snack made with rice flour

ottu ma rice flour snack
This snack made with rice flour is usually enjoyed as an evening snack, and sometime served with bananas. It is commonly known as ottu maavu in Southern India. This snack is time consuming to make as it needs to be constantly moved in order to roast and not let the flour burn. It has a flavourful, grainy texture. 

Pinwheel Samosa
