Adding a few choice ingredients to food bank staples can produce a delicious dish
Chef Jonathan Gushue of The Berlin says adding just a few, inexpensive ingredients to items that are food bank staples can take dinner up a level.
At our annual Sounds of the Season event at TheMuseum in downtown Kitchener, Gushue showed us how to make a Japanese breakfast salad, and he was kind enough to share the recipe with us.
