I am a big fan of Christmas for many reasons. The first one is that we are celebrating the birth of Jesus. As a Christian, to commemorate the birth of our Lord is a powerful testimony of our faith. The second reason is family. Growing up, Christmas day was the day we got to eat something that we usually didn’t during the year. My mom would cook “le canard à l’orange” (duck with orange). It is this juicy meat with a sweet and savory taste that I always found so succulent.

As we are approaching slooowly toward the end of winter (I can’t wait), this ginger soup would help you survive these extreme cold temperatures that we have been experiencing in Toronto!
