Confit of Vegetables
Born of necessity, confit is regaining popularity as an easy way to coax luxurious textures and flavours from a host of ingredients.
Celeriac Salad with apples and red onion
Due to its slightly grotesque appearance, celeriac is often shunned when it comes to salad ingredients. Here, it not only rears its ugly head, but becomes the flavour focal point of a light seasonal...
Kabocha Squash Recipes
Kabocha squash, also known as Japanese pumpkin, has a sweet flavour similar to a sweet potato and a beautiful, buttery texture like a traditional pumpkin.
Carrot soufflé spiced with cinnamon & nutmeg
This recipe is inspired by a 200-year-old carrot pudding recipe. That is to say, it is not the light, airy soufflé you may be more familiar with. It’s more like a custard without the heavy cream...
Cabbage steaks with rosemary juniper apple jam
Cabbage’s reputation as a crisp anchor for the coleslaws of the world is well deserved, but it’s not a one-trick pony. Like so many other foods, cabbage benefits from slow, patient heat —the...
Salt-roasted beets with pressed yogurt, preserved lemons and walnuts
If you haven't salt-roasted a beet, give it a try. It’s a game changer. Placing the beets, unpeeled, on a bed of salt serves to draw out much of the moisture from the outer layer of the...
Fried Goat’s Cheese Salad with torched honey dressing
This salad is easy to put together and is packed with flavour — sweet, sour and bitter — plus it’s crunchy and creamy. A great way to start a stick-to-your-ribs winter meal.
Whey-glazed Carrots
If you’ve ever made glazed carrots, you know you’ll need some liquid, a bit of fat and sugar. Well, the whey leftover from making ricotta is all of that. The whey plays nicely with any roasted...
Onion, fig and walnut spread
Onions cooked until sweet and silky meet fruit, nuts, sugar and spice. The result is a beautiful spread that’s great with crackers, with cheese and most definitely with friends.
Seared halloumi and orange-glazed beet salad
Halloumi is a versatile semi-hard white cheese that has been prominent in Middle Eastern and Greek cooking for generations and with good reason — it can be seared, grilled, or even...
Burnt Brassica Salad with charred-scallion dressing and piperade
If you’ve ever burnt your vegetables making dinner for your family or friends, just dress them up and tell them it’s a fancy new dish. The charring of the vegetables gives this salad real depth.
Grilled Pork Neck with Pickled Cherries and Basil
Chef says: We were experimenting at the wine bar with different cuts of pork and discovered that the neck was a delicious and affordable one. It has a good meat-to-fat ratio, and, when cut thin and...
Apple Ring Doughnuts
These apple ring doughnuts are one of our most popular recipes! They are easy to make and a crowd pleaser (or just a fun treat for the kids). Make sure you eat them straight out of the fryer with lots...
Creamed Corn with Shrimp and Jalapeños
This dish is a play on the Southern shrimp and grits. Instead of a cooked cornmeal porridge, this uses creamy sweet corn. Fresh from the cob is best, but if you tuck some of the year's...
Marinated Peppers
This simple recipe will transport you to the South of France. Few ingredients, but lots of flavour, keep these marinated peppers in a jar in the fridge to add to an antipasti platter for easy...
Romesco Sauce
Credit Spanish fishermen with creating the Romesco sauce as an accompaniment to their daily catch of fish. The addition of a few nuts to the marinated pepper recipe makes a great dip for vegetables or...
