Last Friday, I received a secondary 5 student so she could live "a day in the life of a passionate nutritionist. My goal: to transmit my passion and give him a taste of my profession. She hesitated between nutritionist and ... Ambulance! Phew, what a difference. But to show how the world of food can be as interesting, I took her with me. At the grocery store, yes, yes!
The grocery store: my hobby
When people ask me, "Genevieve, what is your favorite activity?" I reply: "Make the grocery store." I'm a rare species, is not it? In fact, it's that I make discoveries. And this week I wanted a change. Saying goodbye to my eternal Metro and IGA my corner (of course, to impress my "future" Nutritionist visit, I had to sort the beaten track ...)
So we went to the Marché Gourmand Laval. First Harvest, Horticultural 440, Odessa Fisher: a must-meet there. However, in this type of market, there is always, you know, this little shop full of spices in the world of quality balsamic vinegar, tea special, fine kitchen accessories. In short, c ' was the paradise of the nutritionist in search of "sensation"!
So I left influenced the liking of colors, smells (as well as prizes!), Then I procured a Lebanese spice that made me know a colleague, Sumac. You know? A delight with hummus. Without forgetting the multicolored pasta coming directly from Italy and all handcrafted. I almost want to keep them for decoration!
In this small shop, you could also access the truffle oil, spreads house (onion marmalade, chutneys, etc..) Dressings produced in Quebec ... There's something for everyone and every budget! I told the owner she would see me hoe for sure.
From variety to eat!
This is not to go every week in a specialty store to create variety in their diet. However, it should s'avoir keep an open mind, able to enjoy a variety of foods. Dare! Be bold when you're grocery shopping, and when cooking, do you trust. You see, I have never surfaced with Sumac. And tonight, I just introduce a pinch in my pasta salad. Simple to reinvent a classic, right? But it is a change of scenery ...
Oh, and my intern in? Well she left with vegetables she did not know, new ideas for cooking, an intense desire to eat and ... heart full of passion for nutrition!
Mission accomplished;)
