Quick-rising (instant) yeast will have the dough ready in an hour, but you can also make it ahead by letting it rise in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours or until doubled in bulk. You can substitute 250 g fresh mozzarella for the bocconcini: Just  drain it, tear it into chunks and pat it dry with a paper towel before adding it to the pizza. To turn the dough easily on the grill, gently grasp the sides with two sets of tongs.

Cook of The Year 2009 Winner, Vegetarian category

Cindy layers roasted and sautéed vegetables between three highly flavoured quinoa mixtures to create a colourful vegetarian “lasagna.” This dish was invented not only for her oldest daughter (the lone vegetarian in a household of meat lovers), but also so the whole family could enjoy more vegetarian meals.

Artichoke, Leek and Mushroom Cannelloni

Artichoke, Leek and Mushroom Cannelloni

Fresh homemade cannelloni are a cinch to make—all you need to do is cut, fill and roll! Piping the filling onto the pasta makes for a mess- and fuss-free assembly, but feel free to spoon on the filling if you don't have a piping bag on hand. Serve with a mixed green salad.

Exquisite Roasted Garlic and Vegetable Lasagna

Exquisite Roasted Garlic and Vegetable Lasagna

My family absolutely loves this dish. It is one of those wonderful dishes that is best prepared the day ahead which leaves you plenty of time for entertaining when your friends are over. It came about as my son was dating a girl who was a vegetarian, I wanted to make a dish for supper that we could all enjoy with her. I looked at a variety of recipes and formulated this one, which we have come to love - I have shared the recipe with garlic loving friends who just can't get enough! All the ingredients can be grown in my backyard, although I usually buy the eggplant at the St. Jacobs Farmers market in Waterloo, about 15 minutes from my home. Serve this with a caesar salad and some crusty bread and voila! A meal your friends won't soon forget!
