The rich flavours of this creamy dip are based on classic cheese fondue. Emmental becomes wonderfully stretchy when melted, while Parmesan adds sharpness, resulting in the best combination of flavour and texture. A touch of wine gives it an authentic fondue taste.
You can make this meatloaf with ground venison, moose, elk or bison. Red wine gives it a traditional rich and fruity flavour, while the gin adds a touch of juniper berry flavour and rounds out the spicing. Serve with Roasted Sweet Onions.
For many families, a meat sauce is part of a rotating monthly menu. We've added bacon for smokiness and boosted the depth of flavour with a little red wine. This sauce freezes well, making it a great option for weeknight dinners. Simply reheat and serve over the hot cooked pasta of your choice.
A blend of red, yellow and orange tomatoes makes for an eye-catching presentation, but feel free to use whichever variety you can find. Pair with garlic bread, a green salad and a crisp white wine for an elegant supper.
Brisket becomes ultra-tender when braised in red wine and beef broth. It makes the perfect centrepiece for a holiday meal. If the brisket has the fat attached (which is ideal for maximum moistness), place it fat side up in the roasting pan.
Melting cheese into poaching liquid makes a quick, smooth sauce. You can substitute a dry white wine for half of the stock. Serve with green beans and roasted squash. A boiled potato tossed in parsley can't be beat as the starch.
A labour of love, creamy risotto is generally reserved for special occasions, but our easy weeknight version doesn't need the nonstop stirring that traditionally makes the dish difficult to prepare. If you don't want to use wine, simply substitute with 1/2 cup broth.
Roast prime rib of beef certainly speaks of a grand celebration. The simple, flavourful sauce of slightly thickened pan juices, or jus lie mixed with wine and stock adds a touch of sheer elegance. For a dramatic holiday presentation, choose a roast with at least three ribs.
It's easy to make your own Caesar salad dressing, seen here in this creamy version which includes white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, Worchestershire, garlic, fresh Parmesan and croutons. You can omit the anchovy paste if you like, but we recommend it for a more robust flavour.
This colourful sauce is full of flavour and has a bit of bite. Toss it with ravioli, open your favourite bottle of wine and sit down for a truly special meal. If the sauce gets too thick, thin it with a few tablespoonfuls of pasta cooking water.
