We boost the flavour of this potato purée with olive oil and fresh parsley. On another night, make this dish with fresh sole fillets or scallops instead of the salmon, and call it the catch of the day. Serve with lemon wedges.

Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

Apr 15, 2008

This uses the classic cheese – Cheddar, but you can try any other kind that melts well. For a change, omit the mustard and spread the bread with black olive tapenade or pesto. Instead of onion, add roasted red pepper or, for meat lovers, ham or prosciutto.

Osso Buco

Osso Buco

May 12, 2009

Osso buco is a traditional Italian dish that is a great winter comfort food. The marrow of the osso buco is an extra special treat, and very nutritious. We like to serve osso buco with mushroom risotto, and rapini with black calamata olives and sundried tomatoes.

Turkey Muffuletta Sandwich

Turkey Muffuletta Sandwich

Jul 2, 2012

The muffuletta is said to have originated in 1906 at Central Grocery in New Orleans. Italian workers would stop at this store to pick up meat, cheese, olive salad and bread for lunch. Here we have cut down on the traditional amount of deli meat, because it is very high in sodium.

Feta Yogurt Dip

Feta Yogurt Dip

Aug 18, 2014

This creamy herbed dip is perfect for a party. It can be halved or doubled, it's a cinch to whip up, and it tastes even better when made ahead and flavours have time to develop. For added drama, drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil just before serving.

Tarragon and Pink Peppercorn Vinegar

Tarragon and Pink Peppercorn Vinegar

Oct 17, 2007

Tarragon's delicate citrus and licorice notes combine in this infused vinegar. Pink peppercorns provide lovely colour contrast. Choose pretty bottles for gift giving and add a note to make a simple vinaigrette by whisking one part of this vinegar with four parts extra-virgin olive oil. – Alison Kent
