Kay Spicer, food writer and author of the cookbook Light & Easy Choices (Grosvenor House Press Inc., 1985), has three grown-up children who each have a different favourite dish. Son Bob goes for scalloped potatoes baked with pork chops, a dish that harks back to his mom's Prairie roots. Daughter Patti says rice pudding is her favourite ("no contest,"), and home economist daughter Susan Spicer Angrove opts for chicken soup, saying, "We all used to beg her for chicken soup." Fresh-tasting and tomatoey, it's a memory-making soup.
Thanksgiving weekend last year and The Village at Blue Mountain, Ont., was filled with the fragrance of freshly baked apple pies. For the first-ever Quintessential Apple Pie contest, bakers from this apple-growing region that rings Georgian Bay carried their pies – double crust, single crust, lattice top, streusel, Cheddar crust, even a chocolate apple combo – to the judging tables. Collingwood baking enthusiast Brenda Hall took first prize with a classic double-crust pie – a family recipe that's not too sweet but full and juicy with freshly harvested local McIntosh apples.
