Honey Balsamic Ham

Honey Balsamic Ham

Dec 12, 2011

After all the fussing that's part of a large festive meal such as Christmas dinner, it's a relief the next day to simply put a ham in the oven to serve with Curried Pears. Ham is as delicious hot as it is cold, and the big bonuses are the smoky leftovers for sandwiches and salads and, finally, the bone that enriches a bean soup.

Salade Nicoise

Salade Nicoise

Jul 14, 2005

This composed whole meal salad is a classic from the city of Nice in the south of France. In this version, the tuna is grilled rare for a fresh update. However, you can use 3 cans (each 6 oz/170 g) solid white tuna instead. You can prepare all the cooked ingredients and dressing and hold, covered and refrigerated, for up to 1 hour.

Beef Lugaw

Beef Lugaw

May 12, 2010

Lugaw (pronounced “loo-gow”) is soup to which rice is added to make a porridge-like consistency. In the Philippines, it is often made with beef or beef and tripe; with pork stock, stomach and intestines; or with chicken and various vegetables. Beef lugaw is generally unadorned with vegetables, so serve a simple salad on the side. You will need a big pot to make the stock.

Pâté en Croûte

Pâté en Croûte

Dec 24, 2009

Rich duck and pork sealed in golden flaky pastry makes an over-the-moon creation. Serve small slices with Dijon mustard and pickles as an appetizer or as part of a buffet. Serve large slices with a crisp, lightly dressed green salad as a plated appetizer. While it may be a bit more involved than other pâtés, this dish is well worth the effort.

Slow-Cooked Beef Chili

Slow-Cooked Beef Chili

Dec 9, 2005

Since slow-cookers were invented as appliances for making baked beans, chili is a natural fit. Slow-cooking really tenderizes shoulder cuts, creating a rich, beefy broth. We recommend cutting a pot roast into chunks for this chili because the meat will be juicier. Stewing beef is a reasonable shortcut but, because it is lean, can be dry after slow-cooking. Enjoy with corn bread and a mixed green salad.

Salmon Wellington

Salmon Wellington

May 7, 2009

This recipe was inspired by the traditional Beef Wellington but I was looking for a healthier option. It is a relatively simple recipe that serves elegantly and makes a great impression. I generally serve the salmon with asparagus and a nice leafy green salad with avocado. Leftovers can be easily reheated and I have even served cold slices of the Wellington with a lemon aioli as an appetizer.

Carrot Lentil Soup

Carrot Lentil Soup

Jul 14, 2005

Lentils are very high in folate and fibre and are a good source of vegetable protein. Serve with a whole grain baguette and a salad of half spinach and half romaine tossed with Lemon Pesto Buttermilk Dressing. Buttermilk sounds as though it should be high in fat but, in fact, has only 1% milk fat and delivers as much calcium as milk. Any leftover soup makes a tasty lunch the next day.

Great Gazpacho

Great Gazpacho

Jul 14, 2005

Fiery looking in a bowl but cool on a spoon, gazpacho is a hot-weather dish from Spain. Although traditional, there's nothing old-fashioned about this refreshing half salad/half soup that's make-ahead, low in fat and high in garden-fresh flavour. Whether it's peppered-up Fire and Ice, the milder classic version or any of the herb variations, a bowl of this chunky soup makes an easy beginning to summer meal or satisfying weeknight supper.

Salt and Pepper Croûtes

Salt and Pepper Croûtes

Oct 17, 2006

A ficelle, which is slightly shorter than a baguette and about 1-1/2 inches (4 cm) thick, is the French bread to choose for these crusty croûtes. They're bigger than croutons but have the same appealing crunch in a salad. While smaller than regular crostini, these croûtes provide just enough foundation for a delicious one-bite of dip, paté or spread. No ficelle in the bakery? Use half a regular baguette and cut in half lengthwise before slicing.

Old-Fashioned Beef Stew with Winter Vegetables

Old-Fashioned Beef Stew with Winter Vegetables

Jul 14, 2005

There are few things more satisfying than a lusty beef stew to greet family or friends at the end of the day. This recipe had its origins in the good old-fashioned cooking that has come out of Bessie Babb's kitchen in Sebringville, Ont. This stew can be made in two stages: Brown and simmer the meat one day; add the vegetables a day or two later. Serve with a piquant cabbage, apple and cauliflower salad and a light dessert.
