Wanna Canadian Lunch?

It was a beautiful Thursday morning when some colleagues and I were invited by ILS to her home. Apparently, Sarah our Canadian friend wishes to demostrate cum cooking for us a hearty Canadian lunch - European spinach and strawberry salad, juicy grilled salmon and scullent Montreal chicken with wild rice mixed in cranberries and almonds :) How's that sound? Yummy! Did the sound of the dishes make you hungry? Indeed, it was to me and I truly enjoyed the cooking lesson and most of all the delicious foodies ...

The result ....

A spread of four delicious dishes and a mouth-watering Cheese Cake with cream and blue berries topping as our dessert! Yummy :)

Our 'Chef Sarah' with her sumptuous dishes > spinach+strawberry salads with zottarella cheese, grilled maple glazed salmon, wild rice with cranberries+almond and roasted Montreal chicken! 

Look! the yummy cheese cake > The most 'sinful' dessert for my diet which I could not resist no matter how hard I tried ... Hu Hu Hu! So, I promised myself that I'll fast the next day! Instead of fasting, I had another cake. This time, a red velvet which was specially baked and beautifully decorated by a talented friend who has sweet tooth, cake enthusiast, truly passionate in baking and decorating cakes plus our host for that day - the ever loving ILS!!! 

Wow! Take a Look at this red velvet cake daintily covered with stunning red roses!!! Can anyone resist or shy away from it? Nevertheless, I can't ;)
