Garlicky Prime Rib and Rosemary Rack of Pork

Garlicky Prime Rib and Rosemary Rack of Pork

Jun 29, 2009

Think big when you're entertaining this summer and grill a succulent roast of beef or pork to satisfy a crowd. Just close the lid on a herb-and-garlic-coated roast and entice guests with intoxicating aromas as it cooks slowly over indirect heat. For the rack of pork, buy an eight-rib roast; have your butcher chine (remove the backbone) or saw between the ribs for easy carving.

Easy Parmesan & Spinach Tidbits

Easy Parmesan & Spinach Tidbits

Nov 9, 2009

I wanted to have something to bring to parties that was delicious, easy to prepare, and could be made ahead of time and frozen. This recipe is wonderful, and can be used for both casual events and more formal gatherings. Offering a variety of dipping sauces can make these tidbits a special treat, or just serving them warm on their own with a hearty chili and crusty bread will please any guests you are entertaining.

Maple Orange Cornish Hens

Maple Orange Cornish Hens

Jul 14, 2005

Here are two versions of a favourite dish for entertaining from Daphna Rabinovitch. She likes to cut the hens in half before roasting, as in the recipe. Or you might like to cook the juicy glazed birds whole, easing orange rind in between skin and breast, then tying the legs together and roasting in 375°F (190°C) oven for one hour. Use kitchen shears to cut the hens into halves to serve.

Individual Brandied Apricot Galettes

Individual Brandied Apricot Galettes

Oct 18, 2012

These brandy-scented apricot treats are perfect for elegant entertaining, but they're also a nice alternative to a Danish pastry for a holiday brunch. You'll appreciate how easy they are to make almost as much as you'll enjoy eating them. If the dried apricots are especially moist, you may have brandy remaining in the bowl after microwaving. If so, strain it and reserve for another use (such as adding to your coffee!).

Chili Chicken Tacos With Mango Slaw

Chili Chicken Tacos With Mango Slaw

Feb 6, 2017 Dinner Lunch

Tacos reign supreme in Camille Moore's house. She often makes a double batch of the chicken filling and freezes the leftovers to have on hand in case a sudden taco craving strikes or to save prep time when entertaining. In this recipe, she uses one of her favourite cooking techniques—braising—which guarantees the juiciest, most tender pull-apart chicken thighs you've ever had. Look for dried chilies in major supermarkets and at Latin American grocers.

Japanese Beef Hot Pot

Japanese Beef Hot Pot

This broth fondue makes for an easy entertaining evening. Guests first spear paper-thin slices of beef and a variety of vegetables and mushrooms and simmer them in broth, then, when everyone has almost reached the point of satisfaction, they can add noodles to the broth and enjoy a delicious soup. You can save some preparation time if your butcher or supermarket sells presliced beef especially for this kind of Asian fondue and stocks bottled ponzu sauce.

The World's Best Steak Sandwich

The World's Best Steak Sandwich

May 12, 2009

The absolute beauty of this meal is that it is what everyone I know loves: rustic, satisfying, easy to make, un-pretentious but so incredibly delicious that every single person I've ever made it for has requested a 'repeat performance' just days later! I think it's the perfect thing to serve for a casual night of entertaining- serve it with some great red wine (may I suggest a lovely Cabernet Sauvingnon?) and some balsamic & honey dressed arugula. This menu is condusive to a chilled out night full of great conversation and laughter with people you love. I definitely created it for the people I love!

Pacific Salmon BBQ

Pacific Salmon BBQ

May 12, 2009

Being blessed with living near the Pacific ocean, we have always been experimenting with different ways to serve salmon. We've tried pan frying, poaching, baking, etc. but always come back to the BBQ. With our BC weather, we have barbecued in the dead of winter, in the (mild) snowy season and throughout the year. After purchasing our newest & best barbecue (grill) ever 2 years ago, we feel we have perfected the ultimate salmon BBQ recipe. It's easy to prepare and the blend of herbs & spices lend a unique flavour "memory" of tangy & sweet without covering up the salmon's own natural goodness! We pretty much only eat our salmon this way now and especially incorporate it into any evening of happy entertaining, including New Years!

Exquisite Roasted Garlic and Vegetable Lasagna

Exquisite Roasted Garlic and Vegetable Lasagna

May 12, 2009

My family absolutely loves this dish. It is one of those wonderful dishes that is best prepared the day ahead which leaves you plenty of time for entertaining when your friends are over. It came about as my son was dating a girl who was a vegetarian, I wanted to make a dish for supper that we could all enjoy with her. I looked at a variety of recipes and formulated this one, which we have come to love - I have shared the recipe with garlic loving friends who just can't get enough! All the ingredients can be grown in my backyard, although I usually buy the eggplant at the St. Jacobs Farmers market in Waterloo, about 15 minutes from my home. Serve this with a caesar salad and some crusty bread and voila! A meal your friends won't soon forget!

Cedar Planked Salmon with Maple Curry Glaze

Cedar Planked Salmon with Maple Curry Glaze

May 13, 2009

This dish is a favorite at our home for entertaining - it is delicious, easy to make and guests are always impressed with the presentation (we bring the plank directly to the table and serve off of it!). My husband, who is currently serving in Afghanistan, was home on leave recently and it was his homecoming request for dinner! Since we are currently living in New Brunswick, we love that fresh atlantic salmon is readily available and the maple syrup here is some of the best in the world! In the spring time, I love to serve this dish with steamed fresh fiddleheads tossed in garlic butter and jasmine or basmati rice (or wild rice when we were living near Winnipeg). At other times of the year, I serve garlic sauteed spinach. If you aren't a curry lover, just leave it out and the dish is still great! Cedar planked Salmon is fantastic on the grill but can also be prepared in the oven. Enjoy!!
