Mussels are very economical yet make a party feel extremely special, especially with this elegant presentation.
The herbaceous, bright green sauce is the star of this veggie-dense grain salad. You'll want to eat it on everything! Look for whole grain brown rice that's ready in 20 minutes; it's a convenient (and fast) way to incorporate whole grains into everyday dinners.
Lasagna sheets cut into strips taste fresh and luxurious in this dish.
Tiny quail eggs are dainty alternatives to large chicken eggs, especially when stuffed with this herb filling. Look for quail eggs in Asian or specialty food stores or farmer's markets. Garnish with fresh chervil, thinly sliced radishes or slivered cherry tomatoes — or, for a very special touch, top with a taste of caviar.
For the real Greek experience, you first pick out the fish from the iced ones on display in any taverna worth its lemons. Then it's whisked away for grilling and comes back to the table, where an accomplished waiter bones it – a formidable task if you're not an expert, especially when diners are awaiting their portions. Our filleted fish is easier on the cook, and since getting fish from the Mediterranean is chancy across Canada, we're recommending pickerel. Other fish can be just as tasty, so choose whatever's freshest.
This vibrant salad is a perfect makeahead side dish because, with a little time in the fridge, the dill and the dressing have a chance to work their magic on the root vegetables. To speed up the prep, slice the celery root and beets with a mandoline first, then cut them into matchsticks.
If you've ever toyed with the idea of making tartare, this is one of the best recipes out there. Freshness is key, so be sure to buy your beef directly from a trusted source. Serve as a main or as an appetizer with Little Gem lettuce or toasted baguette.
In this recipe, we drain the bacon fat out of the pan and fry the fish in vegetable oil. For a more pronounced bacon flavour, you can use the bacon fat and omit the oil. Add lettuce and sliced tomato for a yummy twist on a BLT.
