This is a super simple flavourful and hearty soup, perfect for a cold winter day! Serve this soup as a meal on it’s own, or for dinner after a day of outdoor activities.

I first made this pizza dough three years ago and instantly fell in love with it. It packs a lot of great flavour despite only having a few key ingredients and comes out perfectly crispy every time.

Once you get over the seemingly strange name of this dish you’ll realize that it’s absolutely delicious. Larb, meaning “meat salad”, was once the unofficial national dish of Laos that eventually found it’s way to Thailand. I’ve substituted the traditional toasted rice that is normally part of this recipe in favour of using toasted sesame......

This homemade tomato sauce is so easy and flavourful that you might never go back to store bought. If you have the time why not go completely natural and use local, fresh vegetables, herbs and spices in your sauce. This sauce is incredibly versatile and can be used directly in a vegetarian pasta. You can also add a protein (e.g. ground beef, veal, or pork) to build a meat or Bolognese sauce, or use as a substitute for pizza sauce or topping for meatballs or chicken.

There’s no other way to put it – this recipe is a comfort food classic! Built a top a crispy, juicy chicken breast and topped with zesty tomato sauce and gooey mozzarella cheese you can’t help but fall in love with this dish. It’s simple, yet surprisingly elegant, and works perfectly as either a casual weekday main course or formal dinner party star.

This arancini recipe takes all the flavour and goodness that you get from a risotto and adds flavour and texture by adding in creamy mozzarella, all surrounded by a crispy crust. Served with our Roasted Garlic Tomato Sauce it makes a perfect appetizer for a formal dinner or addition to a charcuterie board. It’s even hearty to stand alone as a fully vegetarian main course.

Whether you’re a kid, or just a kid at heart, you’ll love this smokey mac and cheese recipe.

Perfect for a lazy afternoon or weekday dinner, this is a dish will definitely leave a smile on your face.

If you’re looking to a quick and easy, yet somewhat sophisticated finger food, this Prosciutto-wrapped Asparagus will definitely fit the bill. In fact, this might be the king of all party appetizers. The slight crunchiness and saltiness of the Prosciutto plays wonderfully with the zesty cheese and the citrus and acids from the lemon and vinegar. It’s been a go-to in our house for years and had graced our table at many of our favourite events.

I don’t know about you, but I absolutely love chicken fingers! This is one of my all-time favourite comfort foods. There’s just something so simple about a chicken finger – maybe it’s the lack of utensils – and they always seem to bring me back to my childhood. This particular recipe is one that I’ve......

Burgers are probably the one thing that I’ve been cooking my entire life – even going back to my highschool days working at Burger King. For me, a burger is one of those essential foods that I’ve really tried to master. They are pure comfort food – perhaps the first true comfort food! This recipe......

I wouldn’t consider my family to be huge fans of spicy foods, but I can honestly say that they have come to love this Spicy Salsa Roja. Simply meaning “red sauce”, this recipe combines fresh tomatoes, lemon, ginger, and garlic with toasted sesame, red onion, and soy to create an excellent flavour profile that will......

A lot of people will tell you to use your “leftover sourdough starter” to make English muffins, but in my opinion these are good enough to warrant the full batch. Around our house these muffins are a breakfast staple and are perfect either on their own with a Home Churned Butter, or as part of......

My love for Chicken Picatta goes all the way back to when I was waiting tables during my university days. I worked in an authentic Italian restaurant and from time to time we’d get treated to this wonderful dish for our staff meal. I’ve probably been making the recipe for my family and friends for......

I have to admit that I had a really difficult time naming this recipe. Usually I like to add some kind of adjective that helps to describe a dish, like “spicy”, “smokey”, or “crispy”. And sometimes this includes a detail about how the dish is cooked – like “seared”, “whipped”, or “home-churned”. But in this......

Topped with a super delicious cream cheese icing, these sourdough honey cinnamon buns are a perfect breakfast bite, afternoon snack, or post-dinner dessert. They offer a unique mix of spice, sweetness, and crispy texture and you’ll find it hard to eat just one.

I have always been a big fan of risotto. I’ve been making it for years and it’s become one of my staple side dishes – especially when I’m looking to impress my friends and family. Yes, it does take a bit of work, but I’ve never made a risotto that wasn’t worth the effort. This......

This is yet another great use of a sourdough starter. This recipe gets a little help from regular yeast, but yields all that great flavour that you’re used to getting from sourdough. I really like it because it also has a touch of sweetness that reminds me of the “Sticky Buns” that my Great-Grandmother used......

I’m usually not a big fan of sweets – especially for breakfast – but the first time I tried these blueberry sourdough scones I was hooked. Drizzled with sweet, lemony goodness these scones are surprisingly light and buttery, and are bursting with fresh berry flavour. They are perfect as part of breakfast feast and can......

I always like to use leftovers from a big meal to make soup. One of my absolute favourite things to do is make turkey and rice soup the day after Christmas or Thanksgiving, or pea soup with ham after Easter. I find it to be so incredibly nourishing and healthy, and is a perfect way......

This is a popular street food that literally translates to “drunken noodles” because they are thought to help cure hangovers.

I don’t know why, but for me perogies have always seemed like some kind of delicacy. As a kid I remember how special it seemed to feel to have perogies for dinner – frozen, never fresh, of course. Maybe it was the cool bag they came in or the fact that we got to have......

I know I say this a lot, but this Roasted Mushroom and Garlic soup is one of my favourite recipes. Strangely, I consider it to be the “mullet” of my recipe collection – business up front and party in the back. Or more specifically, it can just as easily be served as a gourmet opening......

There’s just something so satisfying about making fresh bread. Some would say that it’s the amazing smell that fills the house when it’s baking, others would argue that it’s the outstanding freshness of loaves when you eat them. I’d like to say that it’s both – and then some. For me, I think it’s also......

When I was about 14 years old a family friend taught me how to make classic Caesar salad dressing from scratch. To this day I can recall the tedious crushing of garlic cloves, the squeezing of lemons, and the delicate slicing of anchovies. That recipe has stuck with me, as has the fresh and tangy......

Wow! I’ve been experimenting with how to use our new Sundried + Tarragon tomatoes in various recipes and this one turned out so well that I just had to share.
