Janice Beaton Fine Cheese's Macaroni and Cheese

Janice Beaton Fine Cheese's Macaroni and Cheese

Aug 6, 2005

Janice Beaton loves good cheese, which led her to open Janice Beaton Fine Cheese just three years ago in Calgary. Besides the large selection of carefully chosen Canadian and European cheeses and other fine-food products, the store also widely promotes local products, such as organically grown heirloom-seed tomatoes. Recent and popular additions to the store are in-house prepared frozen foods, the most in-demand item being this macaroni and cheese, made with blends of cheese from the store. Beaton always likes to include a sharp and tangy cheese in the mix for extra flavour and combines at least two different cheeses, although she says using all old Cheddar or Gruyère will make a fine dish, too. She encourages you to experiment with favourite cheeses; just remember to use ones that melt well.

British Scones

British Scones

In Devon and Cornwall, folks argue over whether the cream or jam goes on first, but these West Country treats are winners however you serve them.

Scones are found in various guises all around Britain. Earlier versions tended to be baked as one large cake and broken into wedges later – Northumberland’s “singing hinny” is one surviving example. Scones, clotted cream and jam are a match made in heaven – or, rather, in an abbey, as this teatime delight is said to have first been offered by the monks of Tavistock Abbey in 1105 to the Earl of Devon and local workers as thanks for restoring their monastery.

Bola with Ham

Bola with Ham

The Douro region is well known for bola, an olive-oil-based pastry filled with onions and ham, meat or salt cod, and served as an hors d'oeuvre. Presunto, Portuguese cured ham, is most similar to Spain's serrano ham. If you can't find either, use a dry-cured or smoked ham. The dough is oily and soft but quite easy to handle.

Prizewinning Apple Pie

Prizewinning Apple Pie

Oct 22, 2008

On Thanksgiving weekend The Village at Blue Mountain, Ont., fills with the fragrance of freshly baked apple pies. For this Quintessential Apple Pie Contest, bakers from this apple-growing region that rings Georgian Bay carry their pies – double crust, single crust, lattice top, streusel and more – to the judging tables. Baking enthusiast Brenda Hall of Collingwood, Ont., took first prize with this pie, which she called “Grandma Thompson's,” a classic double-crust pie that's not too sweet but full and juicy with freshly harvested local McIntosh apples. For a fall pie, re-roll the pastry scraps and cut out maple leaves to arrange over the top crust.
