There are many varieties of kimchi, the traditional Korean fermented pickled side dish. For these pancakes, you need kimchi made from napa cabbage; it's easy to find in Asian grocery stores or the refrigerated deli section of some supermarkets. Its spicy heat is subtle in these pancakes, so even people sensitive to chilies will enjoy its salty tang.
These croutons are perfect in our Show-Off Caesar Salad, and they take only a few minutes to make. Switch them up by using different types of bread, such as cracked wheat, whole wheat or rye.
Sliced diagonally to reveal a colourful filling, these elegant wraps make a lovely luncheon entr?or appetizer.
Half-moon pastries have a homemade look. Don't worry if they leak a little onto the parchment paper, just peel them off.
Blueberries give these ice pops natural sweetness, while a touch of cream adds decadence. Use pop moulds if you have them, but you can easily freeze them in small disposable cups or ice cube trays with wooden pop sticks.
Packaged prepared thin pizza crust makes quick work of this dinner. Oil-packed rather than water-packed tuna gives you better results for this pizza.
If we close our eyes, the memories of mojo — citrus juice sauce spiked with garlic and cumin — drizzled over spit-roasted pork are as alive as when we tasted it in Cuba. We've recreated the experience with a roast marinated in these ingredients and served with its own drippings. Cubans would use 1 cup (250 mL) sour orange juice from Seville oranges, but because they are impossible to find out-of-season in Canada, we have substituted lime and lemon juice. Be sure to use a roast with the backbone removed or ask the butcher to remove it for you. The slices are neater than if the butcher simply cuts between the chops.
Sliced plums in a butterscotch sauce top this tender cake. Spelt flour, an ancient cereal grain, gives it a nutty hint.
