A classic cocktail gets a festive twist with a special simple syrup. You'll use only 1 tbsp of the syrup in each cocktail, so store the leftovers in a jar in the fridge to sweeten chai tea or to make a specialty coffee.

This soup is so tasty that you may want to try it not only as a quick weeknight vegetarian supper (with crusty bread and a salad) but also as a first course when entertaining.
If you don't like or can't find oyster mushrooms, try mixed or porcini mushrooms.
As well as enjoying these as a pickle, spicy beans are popular as a garnish for cocktails, such as a Caesar. If fresh hot peppers and whole dill are unavailable, substitute dried red chili peppers and 4 sprigs fresh dill for each dill head.
Late-summer fruit, such as pears and plums, give a mild sweetness to this chili. Ripe, in-season field tomatoes are the best choice.
Before: The original recipe serves eight and contains 1-1/4 cups (300 mL) whipping cream and 1/2 cup (125 mL) butter. After: This lightened-up version serves four, uses buttermilk (which has 1% butterfat) and no butter.
Like pea soup, robust lentil soup is enhanced by the flavourful addition of smoked meat.
This hearty salad with grilled halloumi cheese is the perfect side for your next barbecue.
