Tamale Pie (for two)

Our tamale pie is basically a casserole-sized tamale, which is a filling encased in masa dough, made from corn flour (masa harina).

Homestyle Chicken Enchilada (for two)

A casserole-style enchilada of tortillas layered with chicken, chili gravy and cheese. Unlike enchiladas in the restaurant, these are built in a similar fashion to lasagna, but they taste just as good. One pan serves two hungry people, or perhaps more people if additional side dishes are included. Please pre-order this to ensure availability.

Brisket Shepherd's Pie

Vegan Tamale Pie (for two)

Our tamale pie is basically a casserole-sized tamale, which is a filling encased in masa dough, made from corn flour (masa harina).

The filling is made from black beans seasoned with chili ingredients: onion, tomato, garlic, oregano, cumin, ancho and guajillo chiles. Please pre-order to ensure availability.

Homestyle Cheese Enchilada (for two)

Casserole-style enchilada of tortillas, onion, cheese and vegetarian chili gravy. Unlike the rolled enchiladas in the restaurant, these are layered in the same style as lasagna, but they taste just as good. One pan feeds two hungry people, or perhaps more with side dishes. Please pre-order this to ensure availability.

Sauteed Kale (for two to four)

Local kale sauteed with golden raisins and toasted sunflower seeds. A delicious accompaniment to any of our other entrees, or a healthy meal in its own right. One pan is enough for 2-4 servings. Please pre-order this, for freshness; we don't keep frozen kale on-hand.

Tomato Soup

Our excellent tomato soup in a one-litre mason jar. Perfect for a light supper, especially with grilled cheese sandwiches. Made with Canadian tomatoes and Ontario onions and shallots. $1 bottle deposit on the mason jar is not reflected in price.

Chicken Soup

The perfect cold-cure, our chicken soup is made entirely in-house with no food additives. It is a fantastic meal on its own, with salad of any kind, or grilled cheese sandwiches. We make the stock, and use Ontario chicken, onions, carrots, celery, leeks, and shallots. This soup is completely gluten-free. $1 deposit for the mason jar is not reflected in the price.

Frontier Applesauce

Ontario apples cooked down into sauce with spices and a splash of Bulleit Frontier Bourbon; cooking evaporates all the alcohol, so this applesauce is suitable for all ages. Have it with roast pork, or with latkes, or at breakfast, or put it with some cream cheese on an English muffin; the possibilities are endless. It's totally vegan and gluten-free, so it may be used as an egg substitute in baking. The $1 deposit for the mason jar is not reflected in the price.

Radish Pickles (temporarily out of stock)

Naturally fermented radish pickles. Some spices are used during fermentation: dried chili, black pepper, coriander, whole mustard seed, bay leaf. $1 deposit on the mason jar is not reflected in the price.

Spicy String Bean Pickles

Naturally fermented wax beans, packed with slivers of fresh, green cayenne pepper. They've had a few months to sit with the pepper slivers and are fairly spicy. Some additional spices were used during fermentation: black pepper, garlic, bay leaf, coriander, mustard seed, dill.

Frozen English muffins

Keep our housemade English muffins in your freezer, and get out just what you need for the next day each night; that way they'll always be fresh. We sell them a half-dozen at a time, so no tax is charged on this item. Unfortunately, they are neither vegan nor gluten-free.

Naturally Fermented Hot Pepper Relish

We ferment this naturally-pickled pepper relish ourselves, from all Ontario products: onions from the Greenbelt, peppers from Downsview Park, and salt from Windsor. It is delicious as a hot sauce, but much more versatile than most thin hot sauces, and has the advantage of not containing any vinegar.
There is a $1 deposit on the bottle.
