I love making soups. I especially enjoy creating soups that become a whole meal. Nothing is more comforting during the cooler months as the aroma of a soup bubbling away on the stove.
Sausage rolls are a sure hit at cocktail parties. Just be sure to let them cool for a few minutes once they're out of the oven. If your guests are fans of spice, add a pinch of hot pepper flakes to the filling to heat things up.
A few fresh ingredients and a bit of flaky salmon give leftover mashed potatoes a tasty new lease on life. Depending on how salty your mashed potatoes are, you might want to add an extra pinch of salt. Serve with a simple green salad for a light lunch or dinner.
Bold orange and fennel add a hit of unexpected flavour to these bite-size rolls. If you like, substitute lean ground beef for the lamb. Thaw the puff pastry in the fridge overnight for best results.
You can’t beat the comfort factor of thinly sliced potatoes and onions sizzled together with cheese in a pan.
Potatoes hold a special place in the nation’s heart, and every regional cuisine seems to offer its own humble way of cooking these earthy staples. Pan haggerty, cooked in one heavy pan, dates back to the Industrial Revolution, when it was a cheap and delicious way to fill the bellies of workers in the old pit towns of Northumberland. This rustic dish has been gentrified over time, and you’ll now find versions including bacon, ham or sausage.
Sweet chestnuts and meaty mushrooms add fall flavour to an otherwise classic stuffing. Look for ready-to-eat peeled whole chestnuts in the grocery store.
A recipe steeped in tradition is always part of the Jasper Christmas, starting with the four Christmas in November programs and carrying right through to the real Christmas and New Year's Eve. Serve with Classic Crème Anglaise.
In this perfect-for-company supper, red curry paste delivers spicy, herbaceous flavour to the crab cakes as well as the accompanying creamy mayo.
