Thai Sweet Potato Curry

This gently spicy dish packs a healthy dose of vitamin A, folate and antioxidants, thanks to all of the colourful vegetables. A little bit of tofu makes a nice protein source, and cooking it in the sauce from the beginning gives it time to absorb the delicious curry flavours.

Curried Banana Beef Stew

This mildly spiced dish gets a touch of sweetness from the plantains and sweet potatoes. Use green plantains because they are firm and will not fall apart during cooking. Serve over basmati rice.

Piña Colada Squares

Make a double batch of these tropical bars—they'll disappear from your sweet tray faster than you think!

Chicken in Thai Curry Sauce

Canadian Airlines executive chef Jean Pierre Guerin was pleased to share this delicious dish with our earthbound test kitchen. He suggests serving it with Thai jasmine rice and stir-fried vegetables — green beans, asparagus or broccoli.

Gumdrop Drops

Gumdrops are kid-pleasing, but an equal amount of chopped walnut halves, pecans or slivered almonds yields a cookie that's just as memorable but not as sweet.

Thai Salmon Green Curry

Fish sauce has a strong taste that mellows slightly as it cooks. If you're not used to it, add it in small quantities, until desired flavour is achieved.

Easy Thai Green Curry With Tofu and Vegetables

A curry is a great place to add or substitute your favourite vegetables. Since commercial Thai curry paste is generally made with fish sauce or shrimp, we've used our own recipe, which makes enough for a few meals. If fish is part of your diet, you can substitute fish sauce for the salt.

Skyr Pancakes

Skyr (pronounced "skeer") is a traditional Icelandic soft cheese that's often referred to as yogurt. It's thick, creamy and packed with protein, calcium and good-for-you gut bacterial cultures. Try it in our pancakes and top each with a dollop of skyr, a drizzle of maple syrup and fresh fruit. 

Lobster Bánh Mì

Steamed lobster elevates any meal beyond every day, but for a more contemporary take, we've skipped the butter sauce in favour of a mayo-based lobster roll that's topped with pickled veggies. The end result? A more casual meal inspired by Vietnamese street food. Sprinkle with additional chopped fresh cilantro, if desired.
