Crown Roast of Pork with Mushroom Pilaf

Stunning and festive, a crown roast of pork makes an elegant holiday entree. You'll need some of the mushroom soaking liquid from the Hot Mushroom Rice Pilaf (recipe link below), which adds great flavour to the gravy.

Cheesy Polenta Squares

We love serving roasted potatoes for any holiday meal, but if you're looking to switch up your sides this year, we can't recommend these cakes enough. Creamy polenta becomes a crispy bite-size side when cooled, cubed and browned in a skillet.

Chicken Schnitzel

Pounding the chicken until thin makes it cook quickly and evenly. Anchovy paste adds a depth of flavour to the sauce so try not to leave it out. No one will know what ingredient is providing such deliciousness, and everyone will love it.

Brown Sugar Meringues with Citrus Curd

Brown sugar lends a delicate caramel taste to this melt-in-your-mouth dairy-free, gluten-free and nut-free dessert.

Spinach and Feta Burek

These warm, flaky and cheesy bites are similar to Greek spanakopita triangles, but they have the addition of allspice. Phyllo pastry dries out quickly, so keep it covered with a damp towel when you're not working with it.
