Indian Chickpea Curry
Known in India as chana masala, this classic stew of chickpeas can be enjoyed as a side dish or accompanied by rice pilaf as a vegetarian main course. Added at the end of cooking, a sprinkling of garam masala, a widely available blend of spices, heightens the curry’s flavor and aroma. Makes 6–8 servings
-
Chicken Korma
One of the richest-tasting, yet mildest curries, this northern Indian specialty is beloved for its creamy sauce, which includes puréed cashew nuts. Different versions may use yogurt or cream as part of the final enrichment, but this recipe features buttermilk, a lighter, but no less authentic choice. Serve with steamed white rice to soak up the sauce. Makes 6–8 servings
-
Fettuccine Alfredo
This classic dish is elegantly tasty, simple and super speedy. The creamy, cheesy sauce that makes Fettuccine Alfredo so memorable easily forms when great Parmesan cheese and a splash of cream are simply tossed together with hot noodles and aromatics. This dish is at its best when you make it and serve it immediately. Serves 4

Steamed Mussels Ten Ways
Mussels travel with their own built-in sauce base. They’re easy to steam and, when you do, they release a flavourful broth that many connoisseurs swear is the best part. That broth can be flavoured any way you want, so mussels are also a great ingredient to freestyle with. Serves 4

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.

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.
