I think I’ve done more cooking segments on TV with Rebecca Quinton of Quintanas in St. John’s than with any other chef, with the exception of Steve. Rebecca is a real pro, and Mexican food with a Texas twist is her specialty. Rebecca hails from Texas: she grew up with the flavours she creates at Quintanas. She prepared this ceviche of scallops for an episode of One Chef One Critic.

How to Make It
