Chicken Katsu

Similar to a schnitzel or cutlet, this easy dish is delicious served either hot or cold in a sandwich. Or you can serve it with steamed rice and a salad for a complete meal. If you can't find mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine), you can substitute 1 tbsp (15 mL) each boiling water and granulated sugar.

CARROT COOKIES WITH CREAM CHEESE ICING

Cajun Pork Chops

Pumpkin Praline Tiramisu

This twist on an Italian classic combines lightly spiced layers of creamy mascarpone cheese and citrus-flavoured ladyfinger cookies in an everyday baking dish. Top with praline dust just before serving so that it keeps its crunch.

Golden Brandy Nut-Free Fruitcake

A look through past recipes revealed that we have never developed a nut-free fruitcake – so here it is. A jewel-like topping and variety of fruits ensures that no one will even notice that the nuts are missing.

Pumpkin Pecan Bundt Cake

Classic Pumpkin Pie With Yogurt Whipped Cream

Draining pumpkin purée maximizes its flavour, eliminates excess water and makes a thick, luxurious filling. 

Golden Brazil Nut Fruitcake

This traditional fruitcake pleases even people with fruitcake prejudices. Make it at least one month ahead to allow the cake to steep in rich flavours before icing.

Peking Hamburger Dumplings

Beer-Braised Short Ribs

A slightly sweet malt-flavoured autumn-brewed beer, such as a local or European bock beer (for instance, Paulaner-Salvatore), adds terrific flavour to these unctuous ribs. Or use the same beer you are drinking with them, such as a local amber ale. Use large short ribs that are not cut between the bones.
