Moroccan Orange, Onion, and Black Olive Salad
This has been a standard at our house for years! I have made it with just oranges, and sometimes, grapefruit and lemons as well. It is exceedingly easy and has some room for creativity.
Szechuan Sauce
This is a great sauce for using in a stir fry, or as a marinade.
It adds, spice, and zing. Wonderful for a tofu marinade for bbq.
Honeydew Salsa
This salsa can go with grilled fish, or chicken, or tacos, or simply with chips! It is sweet and sassy and slightly spicy!
Fish Chowder
Fish chowder is a delicious, warming, soup. Make some Irish soda biscuits and have a tasty meal!
Chicken & Vegetable Tray Bake with Vadouvan
A weekly favourite chez nous. Easy tray bake recipe with chicken. You can also do it with tofu or pork! The vadouvan is extremely aromatic, and not too spicy. Everyone will enjoy this simple, rustic meal.
Pasta with truffle oil & mushrooms
A simple elegant meal. The truffle oil and salt elevate this pasta dish to a flavour experience. Simple to throw together anytime.
Red Lentil Dalh
You can add heat with cayenne or chili peppers. I eat this with rice, or millet drizzled with artichoke oil. This an easy meal and great for leftover lunch the nest day! The spices give it so much rich flavour.
Chocolate Toffee Matzo Crunch
Super chocolate treat for passover. Or anytime you have matzo in the house!
Persian Herb and Leek Frittata
Very herby frittata. This is a recipe I got for Nowruz ( Iranian new year). It is a very green and tasty supper or brunch!
Roasted Tomato Sauce with Italian Herbs
Rich, decadent tomato sauce that is easy to make and can be used for a simple pasta, or polenta, or even drizzled on grilled veggies!

Piperade - A Traditional Basque Dish
This is a traditional Basque dish that is a great accompaniment to just about anything: grilled fish, stuffed eggplant, roast chicken...
Pear, Pistachio, and Rose Cake
This cake is gluten free and layers flavours in such a beautiful way. Nutty, floral, and sweet. I really recommend you try this one.
Orange Blossom Cake
Orange is such a lovely flavour, and cake is such a delight to have in the home. So an orange cake is perfect for all occasions! When I lived in Israel everyone always seemed to have cake ( pronounced uga) just in case guests dropped in, or to have with tea or coffee. There really is nothing as delicious as homemade baked goods!
Haggis - a simplified recipe
A non traditional haggis recipe. This is an easy way to celebrate Robbie Burns night at home!
Cranachan
A Scottish dessert with oats, whipped cream, raspberries and whisky! Carbs, protein, fruit...and whisky. A meal really.
Cock-a-Leekie Soup
This is instead of haggis, or can be a starter for haggis. Or, if can just be a delicious warming soup.
