Sweet and Sour Ginger Pork with Garlic Greens

This healthy take on a favourite fat- and sodium-laden takeout dish gets its zing from a sauce that's richly flavoured but nutritionally sensible. Using a large skillet for the pork helps to brown quickly without steaming; it also speeds up sauce reduction and gets dinner on the table in record time.

Orange Chicken Skewers & Sautéed Fennel

Spatchcock Chicken With Mustard-Glazed Parsnips and Crispy Kale

Cook a whole chicken in an hour? Definitely! Spatchcocking a chicken (or cutting it open so it lies flat) allows hot air to circulate around the meat more efficiently and shortens the cooking time by about one-third. To turn the crisp-edged kale into chips, simply bake it for a few more minutes until each piece is crisp all the way through.

Crispy Breadsticks with Sea Salt and Sesame Seeds

Sea salt adds a burst of flavour to these breadsticks. Serve as a savoury appetizer or as a nibble anytime.

Asparagus and Gruyère Cups

Savoury bread pudding isn't just for weekends. Do all of your prep in the morning or the night before, and just pop these cups into the oven when you come home for an easy supper that's ready in 20 minutes.

Leg of Lamb Stuffed With Artichokes, Spinach and Red Peppers

Easter is synonymous with spring lamb. And this menu's centrepiece is a juicy, tender roast filled with a rainbow of vegetables. You can butterfly a whole leg of lamb at home, but save yourself time by asking your butcher to do it. Tie the leg tightly to keep the filling intact when sliced.

Hamantaschen

Hamantaschen (also called Haman's Ears in Israel, or Haman's Hat in North America ) are filled triangular cookies baked especially for Purim, a joyous Jewish festival celebrating the overthrow of the evil Haman. Children don costumes and deliver gifts of food, such as these cookies, to family and friends. The cookies are delicious, so even if you aren't celebrating Purim, make some to share.

Classic Pumpkin Pie With Yogurt Whipped Cream

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

Salmon in tomato-orange sauce with shrimp

This is relatively simple and light dish. At the same time it is very delicious. You may want to use any fish you like or combine different kinds of fish, for example tilapia and salmon. The salmon and shrimp can be served with roasted vegetables, and it costs about 60 dollars.

Saffron Couscous Turkey Roll

Stuffed turkey breast is the answer for small Easter dinners. Serve with Asparagus Mushroom Stir-Fry.
