Our classic recipe for hearty cabbage rolls is a labour of love that won't disappoint. Use two smaller cabbages rather than one large head, as the leaves will be more consistent in size. The best leaves for rolling are in the middle of the head, so save the outer ones for coleslaw or soup. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and a little fresh dill.
Flaky turnovers with a tart cherry and rich ricotta filling are a welcome addition to any table. Look for butter puff pastry in the freezer section of your grocery store and thaw in the refrigerator overnight. For an extra layer of crunch, sprinkle 1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts or sliced almonds onto the turnovers before baking.
This simple and delicious chicken is a perfect family weekend meal for everyone to pitch in with the tasks. Stuffing the chicken with a lemon and onion adds lots of flavour to both the bird and gravy.
Store a log of this oatmeal raisin dough in your freezer so you can enjoy freshly baked cookies at a moment's notice.
Associate food director Donna Bartolini knows that busy households will appreciate having ready-for-the-oven cookies in the freezer. These are chock-full of colourful fruit and crunchy toffee nuggets. Be sure to include the baking instructions on a card inside the box. Or bake the cookies and offer them ready-to-eat in a festive cookie tin.
To whet appetites, sip some chilled white wine while enjoying cold grilled shrimp with a refreshing citrus dipping sauce. Use a variety of citrus fruit or use 1-1/2 tsp (7 mL) grated rind and 1 tbsp (15 mL) juice of either orange, lemon or lime.
Sumptuous and sophisticated, crunchy chocolate hazelnut spread gives our layered cake a subtle nutty crunch and a glossy, lush frosting.
Quiche often made its way onto my family's weekend menu as I was growing up in France. This crustless version is a welcome twist during summer, when you don't want to spend too much time indoors making dough. It also makes a fantastic brunch option. Just be sure to wring out as much liquid as possible from the zucchini and spinach, so the quiche doesn't become soggy. – Jennifer Bartoli, Food specialist
