Cinnamon Bun Apple Cobbler

This is the ultimate in comfort food, combining two all-time homegrown favourites: cinnamon buns and bubbly, sweet apple cobbler. Sprinkling a cinnamon filling into rolled buttermilk biscuits offers a quick alternative to a yeast-risen cinnamon bun.

Chocolate Angel Food Cake

Roasted Carrot and Thyme Puree

Fresh thyme complements the earthiness of carrots. Roast them ahead so the puree needs only minutes to reheat.

Instant Pot Beef Stew

Making a hearty beef stew has never been easier with an Instant Pot.  Create this favourite comfort food in a fraction of the time and don’t forget to serve with crusty bread to sop up the gravy. 

Vegetarian Singapore Noodles

Make our signature Singapore Noodles recipe vegetarian friendly with a simple switcheroo! Forget the shrimp, add tofu and continue with the recipe as directed. 

Fruity Orange Loaf

A pureed whole orange adds a zesty flavour and replaces about half of the oil often found in loaf recipes. Sift some icing sugar over top just before serving.

Shortbread with Buttercream Icing

For holiday baking, it's handy to have a versatile shortbread recipe like this one. Omit the icing and alter the size and shape, and you'll have an entirely different recipe (see Shortbread Buttons).

Chili Mac

This crowd-pleaser is made even more fun by adding crazy-shaped noodles. Garnish each serving with shredded Cheddar cheese, green onions and sour cream if desired.

Maple Mustard Carrots

Whether cooked or raw, carrots are delicious as a dish or just for munching. But in a nod to the coming spring, the addition of maple syrup makes a delicious dish. Carrots are a rich source of vitamin A, beta-carotene and vitamin C (plus a raw carrot provides about 2 g of fibre).

Orange Poppy Seed Dressing

Fresh, light and tangy with zesty orange, this dressing is enough to coat 15 cups (3.75 L) of mixed greens, perfect for eight people. Use a combination of spinach and Boston and leaf lettuces, then accent both the colour and dressing with a sliced orange.
