Mushroom and Caramelized Onion Pizza

The flavour profiles of this pizza are incredible: the crispiness of the crust, the saltiness of the bacon, the savoury nature of the mushrooms and brie, and the sweetness of the onion and maple syrup combine magically to create a multi-sensory taste experience. This one will absolutely blow you away!

Home-Churned Butter

If had known years ago that making your own churned butter was so easy, I would never have bought butter in a grocery store again.

Hoisin Sauce

This is another one of those recipes that may cause you to re-think ever using store-bought Hoisin sauce again. This sauce is incredibly flavourful and full of natural, fresh ingredients that will make your dishes shine. It can be served alone as a dip or a side, or be used as a main ingredient in other dishes – as we have done with our Sticky Pork Belly appetizer.

Sticky Pork Belly Bites

The dish provides an excellent balance between sweet, salty, and spicy and literally melts in your mouth. The addition of cucumber and carrot adds flavour and a pleasant crunch, and helps to cut down the spiciness.

Four Mushroom and Garlic Soup

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...

Pea Purée with Tarragon and Truffle

In my opinion, pureed vegetables are extremely underrated. I find that they allow you to take advantage of the fresh flavour of the vegetables, while allowing room to add new, exiting flavour elements to the overall profile. And not only do they go perfectly with pretty much anything, they are super simple to make. I’ve...

Honey-Infused Fig Jam

I’ve never been a huge fan of jam, but when I stumbled upon this recipe a few years back I was instantly hooked. The jam highlights the wonderful natural sweetness of the fig and exposes hints of honey and vanilla, all in a silky, yet textured, consistency. I use this jam with pretty much everything,...
