Main Dishes

  • Pantry Pasta with Chicken, Oven-roasted Tomato, Roasted Red Pepper and Almond Cream

    This casual around-the-counter dinner is not for the faint hearted, but worth every calorie. Add dried or fresh mushrooms or olives — whatever inspires you from your pantry.

  • Sweet Potato Almond Chipotle Soup

    This soup is a perfect balance of sweet from the potato, earthy from the almonds and heat from the smoky chipotle. A great weekend lunch or light dinner with crusty bread and a simple salad or serve in espresso cups for a cocktail party. Makes 8 to 10 cups. Active prep time: 40 minutes. 90 minutes with sweet potato roasting time.

  • One-Pot Spaghetti Supper

    A family favourite made easier by combining the sauce and pasta all in one pot. No draining, no fuss, just a great meal for everyone to enjoy.

  • Island-Style Chicken Curry

    This curry captures some of my favorite Caribbean flavors. The allspice and Scotch bonnet pepper provide a definitely Jamaican spin, echoing jerk seasoning, which I love. Serve this in soup plates, ladled over rice, and finish the meal with a tossed salad.

  • The Incredible 30-Minute Chicken

    This quick microwave method is a real time-saver, perfect for a weeknight meal or when a recipe calls for cooked chicken.

    For a more straightforward presentation, use steak whole, grilling for 6 to 7minutes per side. Let rest for 5 minutes, carve into thin slices and toss with salad ingredients; serve on salad plates.

    A filling of tangy Canadian Feta cheese adds a burst of flavour to the humble burger, while fresh creamy yogurt tzatziki balances the saltiness of feta, olives and sun-dried tomatoes. Serve with grilled buttered corn on the cob and a green bean salad for the perfect summer feast.
