pinterest boards we love {breakfast + brunch}

Did you know that although breakfast is widely regarded as the most important meal of the day, it is also the most skipped? This little fact always strikes me as something of a culinary tragedy because what could be more glorious than spicy eggs and crispy toast, refreshing smoothies or the wafting aroma of a fresh banana bread sandwich?

To help shake off our bad habits and start our days on a more nutritious note, the Style at Home team has rounded up some beautiful breakfast Pinterest boards as a pretty reminder that eating first thing in the morning is deliciously necessary!

cookbook giveaway: joe beef

If you love to indulge in good comfort food and are in Montreal, you must check out Joe Beef. This small restaurant has become emblematic of Little Burgundy, a quaint Montreal neighbourhood with many antique stores and small cafes. Joe Beef draws both local and international crowds who come to sample no-fuss rustic food in a homey setting.

And for all of us who can’t make it to Montreal right away, we have a copy of the book to give away to one lucky reader! Read on for details on how to enter. Read the rest of this entry »

win: a beautiful tableware set from serena & lily

The holidays are the perfect time to take out your elegant tableware and put together a beautiful setting for your friends and family. Growing up in France, I spent most of my holidays at our family home in the south of France, in the Pyrenees region, right at the border of France and Spain. The region is breathtakingly gorgeous and while a white Christmas is very rare, our home always felt festive and charming. The holidays has always been the one unique moment in the year where our entire family is in the same place for a few days. It’s all about simple pleasures, spending some time together and sharing some delicious home-cooked food. There is no messing around with food in my family! Each year, the menu changes slightly, but some of our favourites are always foie gras with onion jam, truffled mashed potatoes, a selection of cheeses and a frosted yule log with a few dark chocolate truffles. For the occasion, we usually dress up our dining room table with lightly golden tulle and make simple centerpieces using small ornaments, ribbon and rustic pine cones.

With the holidays in mind, we would love to know: What’s your best holiday entertaining tip? Leave a comment below and share your best tip. You will be entered to win a beautiful tableware set from Serena & Lily. I’ll choose a winning response on December 2nd, 2011.
