Burger and pizza lovers will adore this saucy filling bundled up in store-bought pizza dough for a novel supper sandwich.
We've lightened up this classic Italian dish by using extra-lean ground turkey instead of the usual beef-and-pork combination. Whole wheat pasta and bread crumbs add an extra hit of fibre. Serve with a tossed green salad.
This portable sandwich fills the bill for fun picnic fare. A make-ahead filling rolled up in easy no-rise dough is sliced into pretty pinwheel servings to enjoy warm or cool.
To make two chicken cutlets, hold your knife parrallel to the cutting board, halfway up the thickness of the breast. With the opposite hand placed firmly on the top of the chicken, slice through. Flatten each half with a meat mallet.
Beautiful heirloom tomatoes are the star of this tart. Thanks to their varied shapes and sizes, they yield the most stunning results.
Grilling the vegetables before baking gives them a subtle smokiness that makes this casserole special. For extraordinary results, use fresh mozzarella (the kind stored in water at Italian delicatessens and cheese shops).
There is nothing better than fresh lobster from the Maritimes. Lobster tails are marinated in a very simple marinade and grilled. One of my favourite childhood dishes my mum made was Jumbo Prawns split and filled with some hot fresh chili and shallot paste and then grilled over a charcoal fire. Here I've tried to capture that flavour of red pepper and shallots in the marinade. In the summer I serve lobster tails over a simple bed of organic greens ladled with a generous amount of peach salsa and hearty bread from my favourite bakery or I do up some coconut rice and serve the lobster tails with the rice.
