ANTONIO RATING: 4 OUT OF 5 STARS


Here in Southern Ontario we get a warm snap every February for about a week. The temperature sores into the positives. People start to walk around in their short sleeves. It only lasts a few days but it's like a little piece of paradise in the middle of winter. Usually around this time I hold a winter-time BBQ. This year it was Asian turkey burgers and low-fat coleslaw. The coleslaw has about 2 gram of fat per 1/2 c. serving, and gets better the longer it sits, so if you can prepare it the day ahead, all the better.
