White Borscht - Polish Easter Soup

Toronto-based Chef Michael Angeloni, proudly shares his family recipe for White Borscht. A delicious Polish traditional Easter soup that connects him to his roots.

"Culturally, White Borscht is a soup served on Easter Sunday in Poland. In traditional facets, people used blessed ingredients that they would get blessed on Saturday in church to then use for this beautiful soup on Sunday. Currently, my mother still gets the eggs blessed that she uses. This soup was always my favourite holiday meal growing up and one that I always looked forward to eating." I also loved having red borscht on Christmas Eve, but the white borscht is my favourite!" ─ Chef Michael Angeloni.

Roasted Cauliflower Soup With Cheddar Crostini

Roasting the cauliflower adds extra depth of flavour to this simple yet delicious soup. Don't be afraid to let the cauliflower turn a very deep golden colour (without burning it, of course)— the darker it is, the richer the roasted taste will be.

Creamy Mushroom and Gruy?re Gratin

Gruy?re, a rich and nutty Swiss cheese, makes this mushroom bake as sinfully decadent as it is elegant. Chestnuts add a festive note and can be found in the produce section of most grocery stores.
