Phyllo-Wrapped Chicken with Sabayon Sauce

Tender chicken stuffed with prosciutto, wrapped in pastry and served with a silky sauce is enough to dazzle anyone. It's particularly pleasing for the cook, who can make it well before the guests arrive.

Oregano Red Wine Vinaigrette

Guacamole Sandwiches with Tomatoes and Brie

Try sun-dried tomato or black olive bread for even greater flavour. To keep the guacamole from going brown if making ahead of time, bury the avocado pit in it.

White Bean and Smoked Salmon Salad

Bread, beans and smoked salmon are all naturally high in sodium, so no salt is needed in this tasty dinner salad. Smoked trout would make a great substitution for the salmon in the salad. But if you can't find those, a can of either salmon or tuna would be tasty too.

Pasta with Peas and Bacon

Strawberry Yogurt Panna Cotta

Roasted Honey Cinnamon Nuts

Spicy Cucumber Salad

Clean flavours and crisp texture make this a refreshing salad.

Sweet Onion and Gorgonzola Pizza
