Every culture has a hot sauce, or a few. @flavourfull.ca , we stock a wide range. The peperoncini we reach for on takeout pizza, the harissa we use to jazz up a stew, the chili crisp we drizzle over a fried egg. None of these are about heat. They’re all about flavour, and knowing when to use it. That’s what I look for when I’m buying for the shop and stocking my own kitchen. Not the hottest thing on the shelf, but the ones with the most going on. We’ll help you discover them in this week’s email. Get on the list. 📷 @ryanhegarty props @raynamarlee food @eshunmott

If you’re thinking about what to cook this weekend, this is a recipe worth knowing about. Smoky, garlicky shrimp with sherry vinegar, ready in 20 minutes and the star of your tapas table.
We’ve been leaning into the Spanish pantry lately. La Chinata smoked paprika and Belazu sherry vinegar are the heroes here, but also, the fresh harvest of Deortegas organic olive oil is new in the shop, and we’ve added two ingredients we’ve loved for a long time: Bomba rice and Marcona almonds. We’ll share the recipe and tell you more in this weekends newsletter. Get on the list! 📷 @danrobbphoto props @genwiseman food @eshunmott #livemoreflavourfully #spanishfood #mothersdayweekend #quickdinner #torontofoodie
Local asparagus should be in stores next week (we’ve got the intel from @welshbrosfarms ) and I’m already thinking about all the ways I want to eat it.
This recipe’s a good place to start: @seedandmill tahini whipped with white miso and a swirl of @holyduckchili oil. Simple enough to keep the asparagus front and centre, but special enough to put in front of guests. If you’re planning something for Mother’s Day, this one’s worth bookmarking.

Birthday season in our house, and possibly the best layer cake I’ve ever made. Credit to @natashapickowicz ’s More Than Cake — and to Deortegas Frantoio olive oil, @thursdaycottage Cottage lemon curd, and @little_pod Pod vanilla bean paste, all doing exactly what good ingredients should. Full story in this weekend’s newsletter, link in bio.
Two weeks of travel in Amsterdam and the south of France has me craving new flavours as I restock the kitchen and get back to cooking. Maybe you feel that too? We have some new arrivals in the shop right that I’m really excited about: Ottolenghi, Single Variety Co, Brooklyn Delhi, and Faugier. Full rundown in this weekend’s newsletter. Get on the list!! #pantrylove #ottolenghi #livemoreflavourfully
Spring-but-still-chilly calls for a bowl of something bright, cozy, and actually filling 🍋 This tagliatelle is our twist on Pasta Limone, made with preserved lemons + a little fresh juice, plus chicken and baby spinach to turn it into a proper weeknight meal. We’re using the whole preserved lemon and a splash of the brine for that deep, salty-citrusy flavor in every bite. Recipe drops Sunday. #GetOnTheList #LiveMoreFlavourfully #PreservedLemon #WeeknightDinner #ChickenPasta 📷 @ryanhegarty props @lindseyclarkstylist food @eshunmott
Crisp edges, chewy centres. Meringues, but better.
We’ve got a few tricks to make them anything but ordinary. Inspired by Ottolenghi’s giant raspberry meringues, we use intensely flavoured New Zealand freeze-dried fruit powders for a sharp, fruity hit and bright colour.
Eat them as is, or turn them into mini pavlovas with a little curd, cream and fruit.
The recipe’s in this weekend’s newsletter, a little Easter inspo - get on the list! #meringues #easterbaking

@thursdaycottage lemon curd is back in the shop—bright, buttery, beautifully balanced. It tastes like the best homemade version.
We’re swirling it in a lemon cake in this weekend’s newsletter.
We shared this one last year and heard from so many of you who made it and loved it—it felt worth bringing back.
An easy Easter dessert, if you need one. Or just a very good excuse to bake something lemony this weekend. #lemondessert #bakinginspiration #fromscratch #livemoreflavourfully up!

Does Easter have you thinking about chocolate?
When you bake regularly, there’s always some on hand, but whether it’s worth snacking on is another question.
Callebaut and Valrhona make it hard to resist, and when the chocolate is this good, it carries through everything you bake.

Leftovers meet life-giving @shuugsauce Original Zhoug Hot Sauce.
This zesty, herb-packed, punchy green hot sauce brings a bright medium heat you’ll find yourself reaching for again and again. A quick squeeze can transform yesterday’s dinner (or today’s egg, or sandwich or grain bowl or… ) into something worth getting excited about.
Flavourfull may currently be the only Canadian supplier carrying it—and the supply is limited. If you’ve been curious about this sauce, now’s your chance!
Lots of new products have just arrived and will be featured in this weekend’s newsletter. Get on the list.
