Pizza Meat Loaf

This is a fantastic way to incorporate other vegetables into a classic meat-and-potatoes dish. Kids will never notice them disguised as delicious pizza toppings. Serve with Golden Roast Potatoes or Creamy Mashed Potatoes.

Grilled Tofu and Vegetable Antipasto

This meatless appetizer takes its flavour cues from the always-popular antipasto platters that are prized in Italy. Serve with crusty bread to soak up the delicious dressing.

BEEF WELLINGTON

Mum's Sticky Rice

In our family, we prepare rice for all occasions, so this is a definite must-have for Chinese New Year. My mother combines long-grain and glutinous rice, which makes the dish less sticky. If you can get fresh water chestnuts, use 3/4 cup (175 mL) diced.

Coquilles St-Jacques

Red Wine Garlic Pot Roast

With pearl onions and wine, this succulent, tender stewed roast has a special holiday flair.

Rolled Turkey Breast with Artisanal Bread Stuffing

Instead of a giant turkey, modest slices of stuffed breast is a tantalizing alternative. Artisanal breads are widely available in a variety of flavours, so choose your favourite for this tasty stuffing.

Beef Wellingtons

Wow your guests with this variation on a classic. Instead of one large Wellington, make individual packages for an elegant presentation and no carving at the table. Cut the steaks to an equal thickness to ensure that they're all perfectly cooked through at the same time.
