Tamarind and Honey Sticky Ribs

The tartness of the tamarind tempers the sweetness of honey in these fall-off-the-bone ribs. Serve with a side of creamy potato salad—and make sure you have plenty of napkins on hand! 

Blue Cheese Bacon Gougeres

Savoury choux-paste puffs are excellent served warm or at room temperature. For easy piping, crumble the cheese and bacon into pieces smaller than the opening of the piping tip.

Honey-Caramel Apple Bundt Cake

Be sure to use in-season apples that are firm, sweet and somewhat tart. The cake alone is dairy-free. If you're making this for a kosher meal or for someone with a dairy intolerance, drizzle the cake with warmed honey rather than the honey caramel sauce.

Beef and Mushroom Stew

Hearty beef stew is a cold-weather favourite. Use a well-marbled pot roast for the best flavour; the fat will melt while the beef cooks, which will help tenderize the meat. 

Dark and Delicious Vegan Chocolate Cake

Everyone should be able to eat chocolate cake! A few simple substitutions is all it takes to make our classic recipe free of dairy, gluten, eggs, white sugar and vegetable oil, without sacrificing the intense chocolaty taste and moist, fluffy texture you've come to love. Most high-quality semisweet chocolates are dairy-free; read the label to ensure the brand you've selected doesn't contain any milk products. 

Double-Chocolate Sandwich Cookies

Drizzle with melted dark chocolate or dust with cocoa powder. 

Pumpkin Scones with Whipped Brown Butter Icing

A brown butter spread gives flaky spiced pumpkin scones nutty flavour and an extra touch of sweetness. Overworked dough can become tough when baked; for the flakiest pastry, knead it just until the dough comes together.
 

Penne With Jerusalem Artichokes and Crispy Chorizo

Jerusalem artichokes, also known as sunchokes, are subtly flavoured, with a texture somewhere between that of a potato and a water chestnut. Typically, they're enjoyed in a soup or a purée, so pairing them with pasta and crispy sausage is an unusual yet delicious change of pace. On another night, omit the pasta and serve the creamy artichokes and chorizo as a side dish.

ASPARAGUS, MUSHROOM & BACON QUICHE

Oats and Molasses Bread

Baking bread from scratch is one of the most satisfying endeavours: kneading the dough, watching it rise, smelling it bake, then slathering a warm slice with butter.
