Anne Kerekes was born in Hungary in 1926 and immigrated to the rural coal-mining community of Wayne, Southern Alberta, at the age of 2. The frontier spirit survives in Anne as she bakes weekly for her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. When you drop by her house make sure you sneak a treat from the cookie drawer, which is always full.

This intensely rich dark chocolate cake is for grown-ups only (but you can find the recipe for our kid-friendly version, Spiced Chocolate Bundt Cake, below). We used Cabernet Sauvignon for its balance of deep fruity and black pepper flavours, but you can use whatever type of red you have on hand. A sprinkling of our Candied Sage gives the cake an extra-special finish.
The time you spend and your devotion to detail would make Primo and Secondo proud. You can make each component ahead and assemble and bake just before you put on a Louis Prima recording to set a jazzy mood.
These decadent, creamy, flaky-top pot pies are filled with some of the best Canadian ingredients: salmon, bacon, Dijon mustard, potato and leek. For an added dose of patriotic pride at your Olympic party, use a tiny maple leaf–shaped cookie cutter to cut out the steam vents on top.
Named not after its country of origin but after Samuel German, who created Baker's German's Sweet Chocolate, this confection – four layers of cake sandwiched together with a super rich pecan-and-coconut filling – is one special cake. The chocolate ganache icing is not traditional but cuts nicely through the cake's sweetness and adds a certain polish to its presentation.
This lasagna is piled high with sweet potatoes and slow-roasted tomatoes, and layered with creamy béchamel sauce—but the secret's in the fried sage leaves.
You'll need only a half batch of Sourdough Starter to make this tasty loaf. Pass on the remaining starter—along with instructions on how to feed it—to friends so they can make their own sourdough bread at home. Serve the boule with our easy Cultured Butter (see recipe, below).
