Haddock with Peach and Pepper Salsa

Lean, mild haddock tops the list when Maritimers choose fish. This dish, with its colourful mosaic of seasonal produce, is featured at the Lodge and is adapted from the version published in New Flavours: Lighter and Healthier Fine Dining at Home (Formac Publishing, 1997) by Elaine Elliot and Virginia Lee. You can also use cod or halibut.

Sweet Cherry Custard Tart

Sweet cherries are so wonderful - it's hard to get past just eating them out of hand. But you can with this French tart. It is worth the effort and highlights the cherries in a chic new way.

Orange Fennel Sausage Patties

These sausages taste best when assembled a day ahead so the flavours have a chance to develop. They can also be frozen for up to 2 weeks; thaw before cooking.

Chocolate Hazelnut Tassies

These tiny tarts feature tender pastry and rich chocolate filling — as good as candy!

Herb & Ginger-Glazed Carrots

Chili Cornmeal Chicken

Slice some juicy, fresh tomatoes while you steam green beans and new potatoes to serve alongside.

Creamy Pumpkin Pie

Skinny Turkey Bolognese

Nutritional yeast, with its salty, cheesy taste, is an excellent substitute for Parmesan. Find it at health food stores or in the natural food section of the grocery store.

Slow Cooker Thai Yellow Curry Chicken

If spicy food is not your thing, reduce the curry paste to 2 tsp or use mild Indian curry paste.

Classic Lemonade

Tart and tangy, this is the essential summertime drink. For a sparkling version, use soda water instead of water.
