Although arctic char ranges throughout the Northern Hemisphere, Canadian arctic char is unequalled. Baked in a disposable salt crust, the fish is succulent and juicy.
We've taken the loaded potato to a whole new level with this take on a classic Mexican favourite.
Dried currants and cinnamon add sweetness to the spicy lamb filling wrapped in crisp pastry. If you like, slip a mint leaf under the pastry when rolling up the rolls.
Tarragon lends this elegant salad a subtle licorice flavour and is a stellar match for spring-fresh asparagus and Parmesan-crusted croutons. Toss the salad with the dressing at the very last minute to keep the greens from wilting.
We've achieved a 30-minute version of family-favourite lasagna by breaking the noodles into bite-size pieces, stirring the ingredients together and broiling them in serving-size ramekins. You get all the cheesy, hearty flavours of lasagna, without the time-consuming process of layering.
We're using Canadian Fontina but you could use another semisoft Canadian cheese such as Swiss or, for a more concentrated mushroom flavour and robust cheese flavour, Mushroom Oka cheese.

A bit time-consuming, but worth the effort, these cheese-stuffed and fried peppers are a Mexican staple. Fresh poblano peppers are mildly hot and darker green with more tapered tips than sweet green peppers. If they are unavailable or if you want a milder version, use small sweet red or yellow peppers.
Better than frozen from the grocery store, this lasagna's fresh-tasting vegetables will appeal to vegetarians and meat eaters alike.
