This Italian condiment is creamy, salty and fishy in all the best ways, and pairs perfectly with Elena's Tomato Tonnato.

These Seasoned Breadcrumbs add extra flavour and texture to Elena's Tomato Tonnato, a fresh take on the classic vitello tonnato. 

When we decided to write this book, our first thought was, “You know what the world needs right now? Another take on vitello tonnato!” Just kidding— nobody needs another version of this classic Piedmontese dish. But because tomato season is so special and because Ryan’s and Steph’s moms really love this version, in which savory beefsteak tomatoes play the part of thinly sliced veal, we just had to include it.—Janice Tiefenbach, Stephanie Mercier Voyer, Ryan Gray and Marley Sniatowsky of Elena

This hot honey recipe from the Elena team is the perfect accompaniment to their Dany Pizza, a nostalgic ode to a Montreal classic.

If you grew up or partied in Montreal any time between 1998 and 2014, there’s a good chance you ended up eating a slice at Pizza Dany on de la Montagne. Being able to make our version of Dany’s famous spinach pizza is our way to still indulge and reminisce about those years now that our partying days are behind us.—Janice Tiefenbach, Stephanie Mercier Voyer, Ryan Gray and Marley Sniatowsky of Elena

We all know that the margherita is the benchmark when it comes to pizza. What you may not know about us is that when we first opened the restaurant, we were so clueless about what we were doing (and clearly overwhelmed) that when our friend Kyle ordered a margherita, we brought him a margarita cocktail instead. It wasn’t even on the menu. It's embarrassing to admit it, but, thankfully, we’ve gotten a lot better at taking orders and making pizza since that first night. This is a great margherita.—Janice Tiefenbach, Stephanie Mercier Voyer, Ryan Gray and Marley Sniatowsky of Elena

Attempting to recreate your favourite Elena pizza at home? Making a batch of this Neapolitan pizza dough shared by Janice Tiefenbach, Stephanie Mercier Voyer, Ryan Gray and Marley Sniatowsky in their debut cookbook, Salad Pizza Wine, is the first step.

Mix up this traditional cocktail and say cheers to summer.

Why choose between ice cream or cookies when you can have both?

A classic Cuban mojito is a simple yet sophisticated party favourite. Just muddle up some mint, grab a few limes, add some rum, garnish and voilà.
