This dessert is a classic for a reason: Silky whipped cream enriches the subtly acidic strawberry's bright, bold flavour.

We have recreational oceanfront property on the Sunshine Coast in BC and have a abundance of fresh seafood available twelve months of the year. One trip several years ago we had only caught two redrock crab off our float and ramp system and about two dozen or so large BC spotted prawns. We decided to put these two ingredients together to make a tasty dish to go along with our city dinner. We have no stores nearby so must make do and improvise.
These Gnocchi alla Romana are infused with rosemary, garlic and sage while the butternut squash is caramelizing and roasting in the oven. The squash is then added to the polenta like dough while cooking on the stove top. It was a winner and a technique I will use over and over again.
Fish is a staple in our home and I am always trying to create new accompaniments, while at the same time using local foods. I enjoy creating nutritious meals that are diabetic friendly (two of my children have Type 1 Diabetes), heart healthy, and always incorporating as many colours of the rainbow that I can. This dish can be made with any white fish as it looks so inviting with the reds and greens of the sides. Wild blueberries and Halibut - a perfect marriage as opposites do attract! I have (tried) roasted beets before but was always a bit disappointed when they dried out, so I tried this crusting method and it turns out a moist brightly colored beet with just a hint of horseradish! When plating this recipe, layering creates a presentation that is not only eye-appealing, but a superb blend of flavors. Using summers' bounty means delicious fresh menus for friends and family.
