Canadian Blue Cheese Burgers with Sauteed Mushrooms
Mar 17, 2010
A handful of fresh herbs and a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese give popcorn a tasty makeover. Make a batch for your next movie night, or divide the popcorn among resealable bags for a delicious on-the-go snack.
Everything we love about a spanakopita, but on top of a delicious sweet potato.
The absolute beauty of this meal is that it is what everyone I know loves: rustic, satisfying, easy to make, un-pretentious but so incredibly delicious that every single person I've ever made it for has requested a 'repeat performance' just days later! I think it's the perfect thing to serve for a casual night of entertaining- serve it with some great red wine (may I suggest a lovely Cabernet Sauvingnon?) and some balsamic & honey dressed arugula. This menu is condusive to a chilled out night full of great conversation and laughter with people you love. I definitely created it for the people I love!
This is a one-dish meal that is elegant but simple. Bison is a low fat choice for meats and does not have a game-y taste.
The best calamari are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. This requires a thin coating of the flour mixture and then quick-frying in oil at the proper temperature. Enoy it as is, with a squeeze of lemon or with Basil Aïoli Dipping Sauce.
For crispier chicken skins, place the roasted legs on a single baking sheet and broil for a couple of minutes.
Thighs work well in this new main-course take on a popular appetizer because they stay moist during cooking. Serve with Coriander Chutney.
We prefer steaming over boiling because it prevents fresh crab from becoming waterlogged—and adding ingredients such as herbs, garlic and citrus during cooking enhances the crustacean's natural sweetness.
This recipe was inspired by my love for butter tarts. How wonderful it would be to incorporate this Canadian favourite into an entree. Using some of my favourite comfort foods, I created this unique savoury rich torte. This multi-layered dish is a delicate balance of sweet and salty. Chilled chardonnay, crusty baguette (lathered with real butter of course) and a crisp mixed green salad would be ideal accompaniments to complete this meal.
