from Newfoundland’s Best Breakfasts and Brunch
Provided by Seaglass Bed & Breakfast and Studio of New Perlican, Newfoundland. While none of the early settlers to Newfoundland and Labrador were likely from Greece, this recipe from Karen and her husband, Michael, reflects their love of travel and of food and flavours from different countries. This B&B is not only a great place to stay the night, but also a working studio, where Michael can teach you how to make a stained glass piece to take home as a souvenir. The studio has an old-fashioned feel to it as it was originally Ron Jones’ old General Store, and you can see the original showcases, bins and shelves, along with other treasures from days gone by. Some of Karen’s award-winning photography that is on display is also on sale. https://seaglassbb.ca/
