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.
Healthful brussels sprouts become an indulgent side dish with the simple addition of freshly shaved Parmesan cheese. Trim the sprouts to a uniform size to ensure they cook evenly.
This fabulous spring soup is scrumptious on its own, garnished simply with asparagus tips. But you can also dress it up as we have with Lemon Cream Froth and Parmesan Asparagus Strudel. At Studio Cafe at Four Seasons Hotel Toronto, executive chef Lynn Crawford garnishes this starter with delicate yellow-green popcorn seedlings.
This is an eash one-dish meal that has many layers of taste. Served with a variety of my favorite salads, my guests rave about this recipe. Similar to a risotto, the parmesan cheese unites the flavours. And did I mention that it is just as good as a luncheon leftover?
Like Randy Green, advertising sales manager, the rest of The Hockey News staff loves chicken wings and beer. He especially enjoys the fact that these flavourful wings are baked (not greasy fried), saying, "They make a real nice snack between a doubleheader."
Baking chicken fingers is not only healthier than frying but also a safer alternative to using hot oil, which may spatter. A chicken tender is the little filet that separates easily from the rest of the breast. Kids can help by coating the chicken fingers and arranging them on the baking sheet. Serve with Marinara Dipping Sauce.
