Welcome
If you’ re like us, you’ re welcoming the sunshine and warmer weather. Spring is here, and there’ s no better time to shake off the winter blues and enjoy the outdoors. That’ s why we’ ve devoted this issue of Costco Connection to getting the most out of your outdoor space and enjoying the colour and vibrancy of the spring season.
Head to our special section on page 19 for an in-depth look at living your best outdoor life. Food just tastes better when eaten outside, so, on page 21, we have some expert tips for organising your barbecue space that will optimise your cooking and eating experience. If you have little ones to entertain, we have plenty of ideas on page 25 to make your backyard a fun and functional place for play. Plus, if you’ re looking to get your hands dirty, it might be time to dabble in container gardening. Get the guide to this easy trend that can help almost anyone nurture a green thumb on page 30.
There’ s no better way to enjoy the season’ s bounty than in the kitchen, which is why our For Your Table section features recipes to get you excited about cooking. If you’ re short on time, grab a pack of spicy gochujang pork bulgogi from the deli section and turn it into one of the four delicious dishes on page 41. And, if you’ re ready to get talking about fruit and veg, it’ s time to meet Thanh Truong, known online as the Fruit Nerd. On page 52 you’ ll learn how Thanh developed his infectious passion for all things fresh and flavourful, plus sample some of his recipes that use produce in new ways.
Just like a wander through your local Costco warehouse, this issue is packed with ideas and items to bring joy and practicality to your everyday life.
