Toronto-based nutritional consultant and vegetarian chef, Aviva Allen, has posted her coveted recipe for Maple-Nut Granola as September’s Recipe of the Month. The recipe is being shared under a CC BY-NC-ND 2.5 Canada licence.

Aviva studied at New York City’s Natural Gourmet Cookery School; a program which focuses on health-supportive, vegetarian cuisine with an emphasis on traditional and unrefined ingredients. Green eggs and ham, this ain’t!

GET WIKIFIED
by Justin Wikinator

Wikify my life, add to it,
Edit the story that is it
Link to me, and link me to you
So we can get to know our paths through and …
Through expressions in an open way,
We open up the ground for the word play
We can dialog,
Or you can check my blog
If I forget about you give my memory a jog
Welcome are you to send pulses synchronic
Of your presence they will be mnemonic
