Smoky Jambalaya with Chipotle and Ale

Smoky chipotle pepper and sausages round out the brown ale in this spicy one-pot dish. Serve with the same beer that went into the meal.

Sweet & Sour Pineapple Beef

Squash Risotto

Mushroom Risotto Balls

Arancini are elegant, crispy bites of warm risotto with melting cheese centres. If desired, they can be further elevated by the addition of a drizzle of white truffle oil when stirring in the Parmesan. For convenience, make the risotto a day ahead.

Fennel Pea Risotto

Moudardara-Stuffed Peppers

Beet & Broccoli Risotto with Goat Cheese

Fish and Fennel Soup

Light and fresh yet satisfying enough to be a meal, this soup is ready in just minutes. Chunky with white flaky fish in a pale pink broth, it is attractive, too. You can use shrimp instead of fish if desired; just cook until pink.
