In partnership with our Food Fight program, the chef Bobby from Atelier du goût wants to share some inventive recipes with you so you can give your leftovers a second chance. Time to grab your apron!
A Meatless Holiday Menu
For a few years now, I’ve been wondering whether we should change our family traditions and transition to a more vegetarian Christmas dinner. And since Christmas will be different from other years in some ways in 2020, why not take the opportunity to change more of our traditions? Without further ado, here are some mouth-watering recipes for a vegetarian Christmas feast!
An Eco-Friendly Christmas—Right Down to the Wrapping Paper!
Did you know that more than 550,000 tons of wrapping paper and gift bags are thrown out in Canada in a single year? So, where should you start if you want to celebrate in a less polluting way? Hopefully, my tricks and alternative wrapping methods will make you want to give a gift to the planet this year by celebrating the holidays in a greener way!

Electric scooters, bikes, cars and buses are all increasingly present in our environment and the transition to electric is occurring for all means of transportation, from the smallest to the largest.

Why Bike in All Four Seasons? (1/2)
Nope, we’re not referring to the Vivaldi album or four seasons pizza… we’re talking about biking in all four seasons! Although in Quebec, it’s more like two seasons—a long summer and an even longer winter. Of course, biking in good weather is fairly easy, so this article will focus on biking in cold weather.

Try Frida’s dip variations to help you get more vegetable protein in your diet: traditional hummus, baba ganoush and roasted bell pepper spread. These classics are prepared by collecting pieces of vegetables from the fridge. All served with homemade onion flatbread – tender, warm, and just right for a cozy day at home… Mmm!
Reducing your environmental impact also goes for your closet
I can’t speak for you, but since the pandemic started, I’ve come to master the art of filling carts on multiple low-cost clothing sites. Recently, I started questioning the impact that my consumption of clothing—which could be labelled fast fashion—has on the environment. What really happens when you buy cheap clothing from across the world?
Enjoy growing fresh herbs in the winter
Summer is always a great time to garden in outdoor spaces or turn your balcony into a green oasis. This year, I even took part in a few webinars on urban gardening and found out tons of useful information. Then when fall arrived, I wanted to keep experimenting with my garden and let’s face it—I just didn’t want to give up the pots of fresh herbs that I had appreciated so much over the summer!
Citrus-tahini tofu with peanuts and kale chips
A common source of food waste derives from lack of ideas about how to cook the ingredients we already have. We buy food and after a few days it starts to rot, or we simply don’t enjoy it as much as imagined before. This recipe is meant to enjoy that “don’t know what to do with” tofu, and that kale left in the fridge, before it looks like a yellow shrub.
