Nutan Brown’s

WALL OF FAME ...helping you is what I do

We had found Nutan through a referral from a friend who had a positive previous experience with her.

We were looking for an agent with knowledge and experience in the neighbourhoods we were looking.

When we started looking, the housing market had become highly competitive, requiring us to make decisions quickly. Nutan was extremely patient in showing us a wide selection of potential homes, often with our curious toddler in tow. She was thorough and prompt in following up on potential pursuits and monitoring interests in properties. We were mindful of our budget, and Nutan diligently worked with us to stay within our range. At no point did we feel pressured to pursue properties that were beyond our means, which is vitally important in going through the process of buying a new home.

We have happily been in our new home for nearly a year now, and still get neighbourhood tips from Nutan. She has kept in touch on the surrounding market and our own home improvements. Nutan’s friendliness and professionalism come in equal measure, making her a highly approachable and capable agent.

Sincerely,

Holly, Sonny, Jackson Purchased in Bloor West Village

Buying or Selling a home is a very personal decision. It involves weeks, even months, working with your real estate representative, building a relationship based on trust, confidence and exceptional service.

Thank you for the Opportunity!

STREET CORN ELOTES

CAROLYN COHEN BA, BScOT Founder/Chef/Recipe Developer

DELICIOUSDISH Cooking School specializes in Whole Food Home Cooking, Meal Planning, Recipe Developing and Healthy Eating. #CookAtHome D: 416.200.3522 E: deliciousdish@rogers.com DeliciousDish.ca

n my opinion, this is the best way to serve corn... period! I buy the crema and Cotija cheese at my local Mexican grocery store, Perola Supermarket in Kensington Market, but in a pinch you can substitute these ingredients.

SERVING SIZE: 5-10

INGREDIENTS • 5 corn on the cob, husked and cleaned.

Cut into 2-3 pieces, or leave whole • 1 lime, cut in half • 1/2 cup Mexican crema or crème fraiche • 150g of Cotija cheese or feta, finely crumbled* • A shake of Tajin seasoning, Mexican seasoning powder • 1/2 lime, cut into small pieces

* Crumble the cheese when it is very cold (it is easier to crumble using a fork). ** You can also grill the corn for a delicious smoky flavor.

DIRECTIONS STEP ONE

If you are leaving the corn whole, I like to skewer the end of each piece of corn with a bamboo or metal skewer, making sure it does not go all the way through and there is a long end to grab onto. It makes it easier to hold when it is hot. You can also leave un-skewered.

STEP TWO

Bring a large pot of water to boil, put the corn pieces in it (with the skewers), cover the pot and remove from the heat, let poach for 5 minutes or leave in the water to keep warm.** STEP THREE

Drain the corn, remove from the water onto a paper towel and blot the water off the corn with the paper towel.

STEP FOUR

Rub the lime halves all over the dry corn.

STEP FIVE

Using a spoon, spread a couple of tbsp of crema on each corn then sprinkle the crumbled cheese on each piece, sprinkle a little Tajin seasoning and serve with a wedge of lime.

STEP SIX

Serve hot!
