The combination of peppermint and chocolate is a holiday winner. The dark chocolate dough is ideal for cutting into all sorts of holiday shapes, such as holly and trees.
This flavourful creamed spinach casserole, with its golden crust, is deliciously traditional and has an easy make-ahead option — perfect for any large dinner.
There's a cake masquerading under this pie's name. Pie tins were commonly used as cake pans by New England colonists in the late 1800s, and the name stuck. Make sure you preheat your oven for this cake – if it's not up to temperature, the cake won't rise.
Roasting the sweet potatoes before adding them to the broth mixture enhances their sweet, earthy flavour and gives this Indian-inspired soup deeper colour.
A classic from Spain’s Catalonia region, Romesco Sauce is made with tomatoes, red peppers, almonds and garlic. Traditionally served with grilled fish or poultry, it makes a tasty sandwich topping or dip, too.
This can be prepared to serve in a dip bowl, or it can be rolled in waxed paper in 11/2 inch rolls about 6 inches long, chilled (or frozen for future use after 1/2 hour thawing). You can garnish it with red/ green pepper designs such as holly leaves with berries. Served with a knife spreader with crackers, melba toast, or baguette slices. I love the combination of flavours, and the buttery taste of the cheese. Always a hit!
