Grilled and lightly dressed summer vegetables are equally delicious when served warm or at room temperature.
This seasonally-inspired recipe uses fresh, local veggies and herbs for a healthy, light and easy-to-make dish, perfect for summer reunions.
These irresistible Chinese-style snacks may look complicated yet you can make them in about 30 minutes.
You can adjust from vegetarian to meaty by adding up to 8 oz (225 g) dry chorizo sausage or a piece of lean smoky bacon or smoked turkey thigh.
This is a recipe from my friend Barbara who died a number of years ago from breast cancer. We used to play bridge together once a week and Barbara always served these tasty snacks that were a big favourite with everyone.
Pull out one of these spicy, filling homemade roll-ups for a microwaveable lunch with a salad or serve them with rice for a hearty dinner.
Now is the time to cook liver, especially if you have lived your life in horror at the very prospect. Liver perfectly cooked is perfectly delicious. Fried until golden on the outside but still rosy and tender inside, liver is truly luscious and should become a favourite weeknight or special-occasion meat. Liver, like all variety meats, is very perishable; use on the day of purchase or by the next day at the latest.
Sushi lovers will enjoy these golden burgers with all the fun elements of a California roll. Surimi — imitation shellfish usually made from pollock and flavoured with crab or lobster — is available in the refrigerator or freezer section of most grocery stores and makes these large patties affordable.
