Up your grill game this summer with our juiciest, most crave-worthy burger ever.
These savoury open-faced dumplings are a delightful appetizer to enjoy with a glass of chilled white wine.
My dad rarely cooked throughout the winter. Every once in a while he'd make a delicious Scottish classic, such as cock-a-leekie soup, but it was not often. However, when summer came, everything changed. Saturday night suddenly became burger night, and since the grill was involved, cooking the burgers – and naming them – became his manly duty. He would pick just about every condiment and spice out of the cupboard to make these moist, flavourful burgers. Waughburgers were never made the same way twice. The only constant was the heavy use of condiments inside the burger mixture. Eventually the job of choosing and stirring together the condiments for the “sauce” went to me, which I took on with great seriousness. I never needed anything but a slice of onion or pickle on top, but my brother, Duncan, still swears by the addition of a pineapple ring as a topper. – Annabelle Waugh
These savoury crêpes are a delicious background for the delightful sweetness of Quebec's signature maple syrup (light or dark, depending on your preference). When you're at the deli counter, ask for the ham to be sliced slightly thicker than regular sandwich thickness. The chives tend to sink to the bottom of the crêpes, so roll them chive-side-out for a pretty presentation.

Christine wanted to make meals for large groups of family and friends that would appeal to adults and kids alike. She also wanted to be able to prepare them ahead so she could spend time with her guests. This recipe makes a little more sauce than you will need for the ribs, but you'll find lots of other delicious uses. Christine serves the ribs with her coleslaw (see Christine's Coleslaw).
This recipe comes from our contributing editor, Andrew Chase, who developed it for his vegetarian friends. But it's so delicious that his nonvegetarian friends love it too.
A traditional fermented Korean side dish, kimchi is a sweet and spicy combination of sliced cabbage, other vegetables and seasonings. About a day after jarring the kimchi, you will begin to see bubbles in the liquid; this is a sign that the fermentation process is working.
Here, the classic Greek pairing of spinach and feta cheese combines with eggs to fill a crisp phyllo pie. Use a serrated knife for neat and easy cutting.
There's no need to heat up your oven to make this cheesy herbed corn bread. Parchment paper protects the bread from overbrowning and allows you to lift the loaf out of the slow cooker with ease.
This layered casserole is a snap to put together for a youngster who's able to handle the stove. If there are any leftovers, you can pack them in a container to reheat for lunch the next day.
