Carrot Date Breakfast Bars

Breakfast replenishes the body's energy supply after the nightlong fast and plays an important role in children's performance at school. Thus these tasty bars not only work for the morning rush but also as a treat with lunch.

Fragrant Chickpeas with Dates

As part of a buffet at Eid-ul-Fitr, this dish is also made with other dried fruits, such as apricots, raisins and figs.

Date and Banana Loaf

This perfect pick-me-up snack contains whole wheat flour and wheat germ with their magnesium, and banana with its B6. As an added bonus, it will truly satisfy your sweet tooth!

Caramel-Date Pudding Cake Cups

Pumpkin, Date and Nut Loaf

This mildly spicy quick bread is wonderful with a cup of tea or as lunchbox treat to eat with fresh fruit.

Date, Apricot and Orange Loaf

Serve this moist loaf as a light snack with tea or as a dessert after dinner.

Canadian Parmesan-Stuffed Dates Wrapped with Bacon

I love to entertain and especially enjoy offering unique and tasty appetizers. These have an intense flavour and are always popular. The components can be made ahead and just pop them in the oven as your guests arrive.

Caramel Flies

Sweet, tender dates are perfect imposters for creepy-crawly bugs. Unpitted dates are softer and easier to work with than their pitted counterparts. Simply slice off the tops and pick out the pits before plumping them up with butter icing.

Pine Nut, Date & Pancetta-Stuffed Turkey Roulade

Blue Cheese Roaches

Bug-like dates are stuffed with blue cheese and almonds, making them the perfect sweet and salty treat for Halloween. Just watch how quickly they crawl off your serving platter! If the dates are difficult to stuff, cut them in half first.
