Classic Steamed Crab
We prefer steaming over boiling because it prevents fresh crab from becoming waterlogged—and adding ingredients such as herbs, garlic and citrus during cooking enhances the crustacean's natural sweetness.

Wow your guests with this winner of a pumpkin pie made all the more special by its decorative border. Use three-quarters of the pastry to make the checkerboard border and use the rest to make jam-filled tarts with the kids. Or use the extra pastry to make the braided or leaf border variation. Top slices with the maple-spiked whipped cream topping.
We love the versatility of this cake: Make it a trendy naked cake and have extra icing for creating cake pops (see tip below), or go to town and generously cover each layer with fudgy maple icing.
Tea tipplers will savour this delicious teapot cake one morsel at a time.

This turkey is full of flavour thanks to the brine and smoke. Cooking on the barbecue not only allows you to smoke the bird but also keeps your oven free for other dishes. For best results, do not use a bird larger than 13 lb (6 kg) on the barbecue. You'll need about 2-1/2 cups applewood chips; be sure to soak them in water for an hour before using.
This buttery cake features raspberry jam and buttercream fillings and a sleek all-over buttercream covering. Four layers tall, it has celebration written all over it. For the buttercream, a stand mixer will give the smoothest, most satiny results.
