Shredded Pork Pies

This inspired twist on shepherd's pie is crowned with a golden-edged sweet potato topping everyone will love. To prevent messy spillovers, place your ramekins on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet before sliding them into the oven.

Soy-Glazed Asparagus Bundles

Thread the asparagus onto toothpicks or skewers for easy flipping on the grill. 

White Chocolate Sprinkle Cookies

These festive drop cookies are both chewy and crisp. Pressing the balled cookie dough directly into the sprinkles performs a dual purpose: It allows for better sprinkle coverage and helps to flatten the dough a bit before baking.

Salade Nicoise

This composed whole meal salad is a classic from the city of Nice in the south of France. In this version, the tuna is grilled rare for a fresh update. However, you can use 3 cans (each 6 oz/170 g) solid white tuna instead. You can prepare all the cooked ingredients and dressing and hold, covered and refrigerated, for up to 1 hour.

Spicy Pork Noodle Stir-Fry

This one-dish meal comes together quickly, so be sure to have all of the prep finished before you start cooking. If you don't like spice, omit the chili garlic paste, or serve it as a condiment on the side. You can easily double this to make four servings.

Grilled Sardines with Potatoes and Peppers

Grilled sardines is perhaps the most iconic dish of Portuguese cuisine. Here it is served in a simple yet elegant way.

Spicy Vegetable Fried Brown Rice

This healthy take on fried rice mixes brown rice with a variety of tasty veggies. Shiitake mushroom stems are tougher than the delicate caps but packed with flavour, so reserve them for homemade vegetable stock. Use the stock as a base for mushroom soup or substitute for the vegetable broth in this recipe.

Weeknight Stroganoff

I always loved Beef Stroganoff, but it was a little daunting to make. I would have to cook all day to serve my guests. I took the basic flavours of the recipe and made it so easy, we can even have it during the week.
