This silky soup is a cinch to pull together and can be served as a light lunch or a starter. Lightly whipped cream makes a smooth and airy garnish. To keep it from melting into the soup too quickly, serve it in a small bowl and have your guests spoon it onto their soup just before digging in. If you can't find fresh peas, substitute with frozen, adding them to the soup along with the spinach.
These crisp, light and nutty cookies make an impressive addition to any sweets tray. Draping the still-warm cookies over a greased rolling pin creates their signature curve; for a more subtle curve, use a wider-barrelled rolling pin, and for a more exaggerated shape, use a narrow one.

The inspiration for this dish comes from Eva's husband, who loves fish and seafood. Before the couple had children, Saturdays were known as Seafood Saturday in the Fong house. The Asian spin on this dish displays the diversity we have in Canada: fish and cucumbers from British Columbia, sweet potatoes from Ontario. Eva serves this dish with Sweet Potato Fries.

Brown butter adds rich, nutty flavour to these flaky apple-stuffed pastries. We love the combination of apple and Cheddar, but if you'd prefer strictly sweet turnovers, simply omit the cheese.
