Risotto Primavera

Risotto is most fluid and creamy immediately after it has finished cooking, so if you're not serving it right away, stir in 1/2 cup (125 mL) additional stock or water before reheating. Serve with extra cheese at the table.

Moroccan Lamb Shank Soup

Simmering whole shanks adds tons of flavour from the bones, and the rich gelatin from any marrow gives the soup body. To round out the meal, serve with a side of couscous.

Pastitsio Goes Light

This is the Greek variation of lasagna, made with less fuss and less fat, too. It's great for company — make it the day before, then pop it in the oven. Serve with a light green salad tossed with a sun-dried tomato vinaigrette.

Warm Lentil Salad With Spicy Rainbow Trout

Rainbow trout is a perfect quick-cooking fish. When it's seared, the tender flesh—enhanced here by smoky, spicy chipotle chili powder—practically falls off the skin. Filled with colourful veggies, smoky lentils and a citrusy vinaigrette, this salad is a comforting meal served warm, and any leftovers make a light, refreshing lunch straight out of the fridge.

Mediterranean Vegetable Pie

Stuffed Chicken With Late-Summer Vegetables

Ask your butcher to butterfly the chicken breasts. Or, simply do it yourself. Hold knife blade parrallel to work surface and starting at curved side, cut in half almost but not all the way through, then open like a book. Toothpicks are key to securing the sides of the chicken before searing.

Salt-Crusted Arctic Char with Oven-Roasted Ratatouille
