This crisp, sweet and savoury appetizer that's served at room temperature is a surefire hit with guests.
These aren't your nonna's meatballs, but they're just as juicy, tender and flavourful. We take this version up a notch with a sweet and savoury glaze that's great in a noodle salad, on personal naan pizzas and bathed in a lemony broth with orzo and zucchini.
Mini quiches are easier to serve than one big quiche, and they make for an elegant presentation at your holiday brunch. Prep them the night before, then pop them into the oven to reheat in the morning.
All this rustic pie needs to accompany it is a crisp green salad and your favourite chili sauce, relish or pickle. It offers a delicious change from tourtiere.
Sprinkled with our Everything Bagel Seasoning, these aren’t your average devilled eggs.
Pozole is a Mexican broth-based soup made with meat and hominy, a type of corn. Traditionally it would require many hours to prepare, but this version takes much less time and still tastes wonderfully authentic. Pozole is served with a garnish tray so everyone can add his or her own final touches.
This old favourite goes vegetarian with barley, a grain that cooks successfully in the slow cooker. Sauerkraut gives a memorable taste to cabbage rolls, so make sure to pick the best quality possible - the type in jars is often superior.
This sweet-and-sour side is a convenient recipe when feeding a large crowd because so much of it can be prepared in advance. The onions become delicate after you peel off their skins, so stir and shake the pan very gently until they're softened and golden. If you can't find cipollini onions, substitute with halved pearl onions.
This shortcut version of tonkatsu, a crispy pork cutlet that's a favourite in Japan, doesn't require any deep-frying but tastes just as delicious as the traditionally prepared dish. Toasting the panko before breading the pork results in an even golden crust. Serve with a dab of spicy mustard.
