East Coast Lobster Spaghetti

Featuring fresh, East Coast lobster, this delicious pasta is sure to warm any lobster lover's heart and make for an impressive feast for an intimate, special reunion.

Mile-High Bacon Cheese Biscuits

Serve these Cheddar- and bacon-stuffed biscuits as a savoury holiday starter, as a sidekick to soup or alongside poached eggs at brunch. They're also amazing served warm from the oven with a slice of tomato and shredded iceberg lettuce tucked inside (instant BLT!). Cooking the bacon with water helps it brown evenly and means you don't have to stir it.

Cabbage Rolls

Our classic recipe for hearty cabbage rolls is a labour of love that won’t disappoint. Use two smaller cabbages rather than one large head, as the leaves will be more consistent in size. The best leaves for rolling are in the middle of the head, so save the outer ones for coleslaw or soup. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and a little fresh dill.

Vegetable Samosas with Cilantro Chutney

From street vendors in India to chic cocktail hors d'oeuvres here, potato-filled pastries are fantastic. Whether fried or baked, they're best freshly made, but for convenience sake, you can freeze them.

Chicken Samosa Pie

Thighs work well in this new main-course take on a popular appetizer because they stay moist during cooking. Serve with Coriander Chutney.

Plum and Almond Mini Galettes

These galettes are a hybrid between a plum Danish and an almond croissant. They get their unique taste from the almond-flavoured marzipan; look for it in the baking aisle of the grocery store.

The Ultimate Peach Pie

Fresh peaches at the market are a sure sign that summer is here. And there's no better way to celebrate than with our Ultimate Peach Pie. A hint of vanilla in the filling brings out the best in the peaches, and a sprinkling of cornmeal in the flaky pastry adds a satisfying crunch. Be sure to bake the pie on a baking sheet to catch any juices that spill over.

Chocolate-Raspberry Mousse Cake

Hazelnut Torte with Milk Chocolate Buttercream

The rich, tasty buttercream in this torte has the silkiest texture and best flavour when made with good-quality chocolate. 

Cannelloni with Lemon Ice Cream and Warm Berry Compote

My advice at Bacchus: save room for desserts. They are decadent — and shareable. Here, tangy lemon ice cream fills a crisp tuile playfully shaped like Italian pasta.
