Coconut Curry Simmered Fish Fillets

Any fish will work beautifully, but pickerel, whitefish or lake trout are especially tasty. There are several curry pastes available, so experiment to find one you like (try Thai red curry paste for a really fiery dish). Serve this saucy curry over rice or rice noodles.

Coconut-Poached Halibut With Broccolini

If you're used to pan-frying fish, poaching it in coconut sauce is a tasty change. Serve over steamed jasmine or other fragrant rice.

Chicken and Vegetable Coconut Rice

Island Chicken and Rice

Eating this tender chicken steeped in Caribbean flavour makes you feel like you're on an island vacation any time of the year. Serve with fresh pineapple slices. You can also use chicken legs.

Coconut Mochi Snowballs

These not-too-sweet confections have a nice chewy texture and a distinct coconut flavour. They're best served the day they're made, but they also freeze well if you want to make them ahead of time.

Sweet Potato Soup with Coriander

Thai Pork Skewers

This savoury peanut sauce uses a bit of Thai red curry paste, which once opened, can be refrigerated for up to one year. Of course, you can omit it and still have a flavourful marinade.

Thai Chicken Noodle Bowl

Rotisserie chicken jump-starts this saucy noodle dish. Bruising the lemongrass and ginger releases their flavours without breaking them into pieces that are difficult to remove before serving.

Aloo Gobi and Baby Spinach Wraps

Enjoy all the goodness of a warm vegetable curry tucked into easy-eating wraps. We've swapped the usual potatoes for protein-rich chickpeas.

Tropical Mint Oatmeal

Mourning the end of summer break? Let this sunny breakfast cheer you up. Macadamia nuts add filling protein and extra tropical flavour, but any kind of nut will do.
