Skinny Turkey Bolognese

Nutritional yeast, with its salty, cheesy taste, is an excellent substitute for Parmesan. Find it at health food stores or in the natural food section of the grocery store.

Cider-Braised Chicken Thighs with Smashed Potatoes

Bone-in skin-on chicken thighs are a bargain at the grocery store, plus they're so much juicier than boneless thighs or breasts. Look for smaller thighs to ensure they cook quickly; if they're on the larger side, they may need a few extra minutes.

Coconut Curry Butternut Squash Soup

Sweet-tasting butternut squash is the perfect foil for spicy curry paste. If you want an extra-velvety texture, strain the soup after puréeing.

Chicken, Rice and Thyme Biryani

Browning the chicken and cooking the biryani in the same pan keeps cleanup to a minimum and infuses the rice with flavour. 

Citrus and Herb Rib Roast

This impressive roast is coated in a crispy, flavour-packed crust that adds elegance to your dinner plate. To carve, remove the bones and cut thin slices across the grain. If you have guests who prefer different levels of doneness, save the centre slices for the rare-beef lovers and the outer pieces for those who prefer their meat well done.

Piroshki

Borscht and vodka may be Russia's culinary claims to fame, but it's time to give piroshki the recognition they deserve. These traditional meat pies have a golden breading and a savoury filling, making them the ultimate hand-held comfort food.

Vegetarian Harvest Lasagna

This lasagna is piled high with sweet potatoes and slow-roasted tomatoes, and layered with creamy béchamel sauce—but the secret's in the fried sage leaves.

Creamy Broccoli Rotini
