Diane Ward of Calgary likes to garnish with both a sprinkle and sprig of fresh thyme. A spinach salad is her preferred side dish.
Savour the citrusy flavour of this baked salmon, gnocchi and broccoli dinner that you can cook all on one baking sheet. Dish duty has never been simpler!
A few pantry staples and a head of cauliflower transform into an elegant risotto, ideal for a vegetarian family meal or a quick dish for entertaining. Investing in a wedge of Parmesan (or less expensive grana Padano) is worth every penny, since a sprinkling of this strong hard cheese packs lots of flavour.
Fresh rabbit is available at many butcher shops and grocery stores. Because rabbits are small, you will need two for six people. Rabbit with mustard sauce is a classic of French cooking that is still popular in New France. Thanks to Andrew Chase for this recipe.
Always check packaged food labels for gluten, including ketchup (Heinz is gluten-free), sriracha, fish sauce and broth (homemade stock is best – and safest). It's best to steer clear of dry-roasted peanuts for the same reason. To toast nuts, toast in dry skillet over medium heat, shaking pan often, until fragrant and golden, about 4 minutes.
This is my favorite recipe when company comes. Many of the steps can be done a day or two ahead of time which leaves you more time with your guests.
