Check out our "Meat-Free & Tasty" collection of recipes featuring six meatless main dishes that are hearty enough to satisfy any appetite. From the May 2006 issue of Canadian Living magazine.
Decadent, layered with caramel and topped with a thick chocolate icing, this cake is a little time-consuming, but well worth the effort. The key to perfect caramel is to just let the sugar and water cook to amber and never walk away during the colour stage.
A bit of pesto adds complexity to this quick sauce, without the need to simmer it for hours. This recipe feeds a larger group, so it's perfect for easy entertaining, but it can easily be halved for an everyday dinner. Top the ragù with a bit of extra shaved Parmesan, if desired. Serve with our Sautéed Kale with Golden Raisins.
Mini quiches are easier to serve than one big quiche, and they make for an elegant presentation at your holiday brunch. Prep them the night before, then pop them into the oven to reheat in the morning.
Aged Gouda has a nutty sherry flavour that marries well with bacon. Look for the cheese in the supermarket's deli section.
This casserole is great for entertaining friends and family. It can be made with any combination of seafood, such as scallops, crab or lobster. Serve with green beans and an endive salad.
Chocolate-orange is a classic holiday flavour combination. The bright candied zest on top perfectly complements the chocolate chunks hidden within the cake.
We love coffee, and anything coffee flavoured—so trust us when we say these little bites of delight need to be in your recipe repertoire.
This rich torte is filled with gooey caramel and crunchy nuts – perfect matches for chocolate. You don't need a candy thermometer to make the caramel, but you will need to keep an eye on it, so make sure that you have all your ingredients handy before you start cooking. For a special touch, sprinkle a pinch of fleur de sel over each slice before serving.
