Lobster Macaroni And Cheese

There are few things as good as a warm bowl of homemade macaroni and cheese especially when it doesn’t come out of a box! I don’t normally put lobster in mine - and this version is great without my favourite crustacean - but it’s a great way to make the ordinary extraordinary

Homemade Ketchup

If you like ketchup as much as I do, you’ll love this recipe for homemade ketchup. It’s packed with so much aromatic goodness that you’ll wonder why you ever used store-bought. It’s the best way to jazz up a burger and fries and feel good all the other times you reach for ketchup!

Caesar Salad with Lemon Parmesan Dressing

Caesar Salad with Lemon Parmesan Dressing

This classic salad has come a long way since its 1924 invention by Caesar Cardini at his Tijuana restaurant. It’s now found on virtually every menu in the country - at home and in restaurants. Since there are as many ways to make it as there are cooks, I don’t spend a lot of time worrying about authenticity, just flavour. Here’s my version.

Beefy Burgers with Smashed Potatoes

Beefy Burgers with Smashed Potatoes

Over the years I’ve tried experimenting with many additions to the classic burger, and I’ve discovered that most just don’t work. One thing that does work is shredded meat from a tender beef stew. It adds a rich layer of beefy flavour and texture that I love! Just the thing to serve with my all-time favourite spud, smashed potatoes!

Vegetable Power Protein Soup

Vegetable Power Protein Soup

Who says vegetarian food has no flavour? My family enjoys vegetarian style meals several times a week and we love the rich healthy flavours. This soup features complementary legumes - the peas and lentils - and grains - the corn and rice. Together they form a complete vegetarian protein. You may use water but a quick vegetable stock will add much more flavour.

Pickled Red Onions

These tasty onions lose all their pungency in the pickling process but gain a sweet sharpness that makes them a great last minute addition to any salad. They’re a multi-purpose condiment and are delicious with any type of fish.

Asparagus Red Onion Salad

Asparagus is my son Gabe’s favourite vegetable so I’ve invented a lot of ways to serve it to keep him from getting bored. Here it stars in a tasty salad that grown-ups will love too!

Whole Grain Pancakes

Whole Grain Pancakes

This favourite flavour is often our first heat, the first cooking of the day for my family. A batch of these pancakes is a great way to spin a strong dose of whole grains into a get-out-of-bed treat and to kick-start a nutritious day.

Asian Cucumber Mint Salad

Asian Cucumber Mint Salad

This is a salad of contrast and balance. The sweetness of the cucumbers is sharpened by the sourness of the spicy dressing, which in turn is cooled by the refreshing mint.

Coconut Macaroons

Here’s a chewy tropical treat that’s so easy to make you’ll think you’re forgetting something! I always make a big batch so there’s a lot to share but it’s just as easy to cut the recipe in half. Your family and friends will love the addictive chewy texture and you’ll love how easy they are to make!

Biscuit Crusted Beef Stew

Biscuit Crusted Beef Stew

I love the way stewing transforms inexpensive, tough cuts of beef into tasty, tender stew. The earthy flavours of root vegetables combine with the full body of beef stock and aromatic red wine to form a rich flavour base. The only thing better than a bowlful of hearty stew is the same bowl with a biscuit topping!
Ease of Preparation: Moderate

Butterscotch Sauce

Butterscotch Sauce

This classic sauce turns anything into instant dessert with its deep caramel flavour. Every time I transform bland white sugar into rich, slightly bitter caramel I get excited. I think it’s magical how much flavour a simple cooking process can add! Your family will too.
