I am very excited about entering my recipe in the 2009 Canadian Living Cook of the Year Contest. I am an avid home-cook and love creating new and exciting home recipes to make for my family and friends. I am a firm believer in seasonal cooking, using the freshest ingredients available, and making use of local ingredients whenever possible. Consequently, I was delighted to see that this year's contest was to feature Canadian ingredients. I wanted to take things a step further and include some local Newfoundland ingredients. Newfoundland and Labrador has some wonderful producers for fresh, often organic, produce, seafood and meat products...and of course the island is well known for it's abundance of wild berries. Berry picking is a provincial past-time in late summer and early fall and many families, including my own, can be found on the hillsides or barrens, bent over and collecting gallons of sweet, juicy berries to be used fresh, or to be frozen for use during the long winter months. I knew as soon as I read about this year's contest that I wanted to feature these berries, along with our wonderful, locally-raised lamb and artfully crafted local wines, in my recipe. I hope you enjoy a taste of Newfoundland!
Tofu is a brilliant carrier of flavors, plus it's high in protein, low in saturated fat, and a great source of calcium and phosphorus, both of which make for strong and healthy bones.
The ingredient list may look long, but the techniques are straightforward and the results well worth the effort.
We love reinventing a classic, and these adorable mini tarts topped with chocolate buttons up the ante on beloved salted caramel. Think traditional buttery flavour but with a twist of strawberry and the essence of smoky black pepper. This recipe makes enough caramel to have extra for drizzling over fresh berries or ice cream.
Layered between rich lemon mousse and crunchy pistachios, this meringue dessert makes a great finish to Passover seder. If you prefer, use whipping cream in place of the nondairy topping.
This entree combines local food Arctic Char & blueberries with hearty vegetables that can withstand a plane trip to the north. This is best made with freshly caught fish and blueberries picked from the tundra, but can be made with frozen fish and blueberries, for a taste of fleeting Arctic summer anytime of the year.
A traditional Italian Maritozzo is a soft brioche bun filled with a cream filling. This version is stuffed with a homemade strawberry ice cream, making it a delicious and decadent ice cream sandwich.
