Brisket becomes ultra-tender when braised in red wine and beef broth. It makes the perfect centrepiece for a holiday meal. If the brisket has the fat attached (which is ideal for maximum moistness), place it fat side up in the roasting pan.
Freshly harvested pears are always the juiciest and most fragrant, and they marry well with cheese, especially rich, creamy Brie. Add puff pastry and the perfect trio provides a delicious opener for Thanksgiving dinner — or any fall party.
This classic salad is traditionally assembled in front of patrons at fine-dining restaurants. To make this recipe at home, simply prep the ingredients in advance and set them out on a tray alongside a wooden serving bowl; take the tray to the table and assemble the salad as your guests watch in awe.
It's not a picnic without watermelon. We've swapped the tuna in a traditional Hawaiian poke bowl for sweet, juicy cubes of the fruit and turned up the heat with chipotle and fresh ginger. This recipe makes extra dressing, so you'll have plenty for your next salad.
Buttery, crisp pastry holds a rich caramelized onion-and-cheese filling. You only have to make six mini-galettes to get the 24 bites.
This slow-cooker pork is tasty and versatile: You can make it for tacos, nachos, enchiladas and pulled pork on a bun. The filling can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to three days. Serve with sour cream to dollop over top.
I love to barbecue, and this is my family's favourite way to eat salmon. We always buy a few extra maple sugar leaves from the farmer's market to use on the salmon. We also make our own maple syrup from our trees, so this makes it more personal. I serve the sweet salmon with a tart cranberry icewine compote, which sets the flavours off nicely. The icewine is made not far from us, in Prince Edward Country, Ontario, so that is local as well. Finally, we grow fiddleheads on our property, which are just coming into season now, so I think this makes a perfect side dish.
This roast is delicious sliced and served with potato salad or on a bun with your choice of mayonnaise and mustard, sauerkraut, coleslaw or corn relish.
