This salad pairs so well with ham, roasted boar, duck, pheasant, beef & game meats such as deer or elk. If you can’t find blood oranges or Cara Cara oranges, use navel oranges & perhaps Seville oranges or ruby red grapefruit for tartness. I like the combination of the three orange varieties and the lemon […]
There’s no comparison between a homemade Caesar salad and one with processed ingredients. Yes, they’re convenient but this salad can be made in 15 to 20 minutes & is infinitely better than ready-made. This is the only way I like to eat this salad – made from scratch. Soak the lettuce first, then get the […]
Now I know a baked potato is nothing new but… have you eaten a baked potato cooked in an air fryer? If you make potatoes this way, you’ll never go back to the oven method. This is a simple recipe, but if you love potatoes as I do, you’ll want to save this. Not only […]
Broccoli, Bacon & Cranberry Salad is broccoli salad elevated. The broccoli salads that I’ve seen since moving to North America have been pieces of too-large florets doused in a thick mayonnaise dressing. For these reasons I’ve always bypassed it. Until now. This throw together chop salad is simple to make, & it’s completely make-ahead. In […]
Blue Cheese Honey-Baked Pears – filled with apricot jam, creamy blue cheese drizzled with honey, baked then nestled into a bed of greens, sprinkled with toasted walnuts and finished with another anointment of honey. A beautiful starter to serve over the holidays or any occasion when you want something fuss-free but somewhat elegant. The pears […]
Pear and Prosciutto Salad is so simple & quick to make. This rustic salad makes a perfect side as part of a holiday menu. I’ve baked the prosciutto so it adds a crunch to the salad but it would be just as lovely with it cold and soft. Feta cheese is a good substitute for […]
While Prosciutto Almond Squash Noodles makes a beautiful autumnal side, it also makes a nutritiously different main served with some steamed sugar snap peas or a green salad. Strands of butternut squash take the place of noodles (or spaghetti) in this delicious one pan meal. Throw everything together on a baking sheet, roast for about […]
Sticky Sage Roasted Butternut Squash can be served as a side for special holiday meals or alongside a weekend family roast. Golden syrup, the lighter, less intense version of molasses has a wonderful, complex flavor and is worth sourcing it to use in this recipe. It’s also perfect for baking. I buy golden syrup on […]
This for me is the most enjoyable way to eat cauliflower. Cheesy Mustard Roasted Cauliflower looks like a bit of a centerpiece when placed on a table and served family style. A whole cauliflower bathed in a creamy, cheesy, mustard sauce and baked until a light bronze & cut into wedges and serve. This can […]
The humble onion is often overlooked for flashier veggies. Sweet & Sour Roasted Onions make a rustic, inexpensive and easy side dish for roasts, grilled and pan-fried meats. Onions transform and become sweet and sticky when they’re roasted. This recipe is easy, looks pretty when using red/purple onions & is full of sweet flavors & […]
Trite as this might sound, Arugula Prosciutto Peach Salad is summer on a plate. Peaches at the peak of the season, young arugula – or rocket as Australians call it, basil leaves, homemade pesto (hopefully) speaks of sunshine, hot nights or days when you want something you don’t have to cook. Not only is this […]
