The flavour of ham permeates this hearty soup. Ham hocks come in different sizes, and for this recipe, the weight does not need to be exact.
Gruy?re, a rich and nutty Swiss cheese, makes this mushroom bake as sinfully decadent as it is elegant. Chestnuts add a festive note and can be found in the produce section of most grocery stores.
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.
This is a great alternative to a whole bird for an intimate holiday dinner. You will need about a 2-1/2 lb (1.125 kg) bone-in skin-on turkey breast to yield the right amount of meat. Ask your butcher or the meat department of the grocery store to bone it for you if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself.
Bits of savoury bacon make lean bison meatballs extra indulgent. We use boxed beef stock instead of broth for a more concentrated, meaty flavour. If you like, substitute lean ground beef for the bison. To keep the meatballs warm throughout the party, place them in a small slow cooker set on low heat.
Irish red ale, named for the hue that results from adding roasted barley during brewing, lends a slightly sweet, toasted malt flavour to this update on traditional potato soup. Mature Irish Cheddar gives it a rich, sharp finish.
Enjoy this traditional Sicilian sauce over pasta, or on a ciabatta bun with a slice of provolone cheese and a handful of mixed greens.
This casserole is great for entertaining friends and family. It can be made with any combination of seafood, such as scallops, crab or lobster. Serve with green beans and an endive salad.
This coin-size take on a Hanukkah staple is crispy, golden and addictive. A food processor fitted with a grater blade makes easy work of the vegetables, but you can use a box grater too. We've made a traditional applesauce for dipping, but you can also serve these latkes with nondairy pareve sour cream or our Lemon Herb Dip.
Lasagna is a time-consuming dish to make, but it's so popular and easy to serve that the effort seems more than worth it. All the parts of this dish can be made ahead, and the lasagna assembled several hours before baking.
