Nutty Halvah Cheesecake

Halvah is candy made in blocks from ground sesame seeds and honey and can contain chopped pistachios and dried fruit. It even comes in a marble form and covered with chocolate. Add chunks of this sweet, with its toasty sesame flavour, to a creamy cheesecake.

Lemon Cheesecake with Shortbread Crust and Lemon Sauce

Make this large sweet-tart cheesecake the day before you plan to serve it to give it enough time to chill. Garnish with long strands of lemon rind, fresh raspberries, mint leaves and edible gold flakes for an over-the-top presentation.

Lemon Curd Squares

Freshly squeezed lemon juice is key for the best flavour. If you don't have a citrus reamer, cut the lemons in half and insert a fork into the cut sides, twisting to release the juices. Just be sure to strain the juice through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the pulp.

Cheese and Chive Quiches

Use any firm flavourful cheese, such as Jarlsberg, Emmenthal, Gruyere or Gouda, or semisoft cheese, such as Oka or Havarti.

Sausage & Herb Dressing

Serve up this savoury stuffing for your Thanksgiving dinner that’ll have guests begging you for the recipe. 

RUSTIC APPLE CAKE

This cake is based on milopita, a rustic coffee-style cake from Greece that features typical Greek ingredients like olive oil and thick yogurt along with sliced apples.

Roasted Butternut Squash & Sweet Potato Soup

Smooth and creamy, this satiating vegetarian soup wonderfully blends the flavours of butternut squash and sweet potato for a soup that will warm you right up on those cold winter days. 

Cheddar Cheese and Potato Cabbage Rolls

These cabbage rolls require minimal preparation. The combination of potatoes, cabbage, bacon, onions and, of course, sharp Canadian Cheddar cheese is irresistible.

Pistachio, Pecan and Bacon Brittle

Bacon gives sweet and savoury flavour to this unexpected spin on nut brittle that's inspired by candied bacon. For an even more indulgent treat, we've also swapped out standard peanuts for salty pistachios and buttery pecans.
