This is a traditional Basque dish that is a great accompaniment to just about anything: grilled fish, stuffed eggplant, roast chicken...

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 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!

A non traditional haggis recipe. This is an easy way to celebrate Robbie Burns night at home!

A Scottish dessert with oats, whipped cream, raspberries and whisky! Carbs, protein, fruit...and whisky. A meal really.

This is instead of haggis, or can be a starter for haggis. Or, if can just be a delicious warming soup.

Yummy, filling, rich, warming. This is a delicious dish. The leftovers are amazing and can feed you for several meals.

This was so much easier than I thought it would be.  My daughter loves this dessert and we thought we would give it a go. I would use decaf coffee next time. We made one with regular lady fingers and one gluten free ( for me) and it was DELICIOUS...

A family favourite - we make double the amount of sauce and cook the extra on the stove to thicken it! You can try it with pork, tofu, and even add pineapple! This dish is so easy and delicious.

Cookies filled with jam fill my daily requirements for fruit, right? Well, maybe not that, but they go wonderfully well with hot chocolate or tea!

Pfeffernüsse isn't just fun to say, they are also delicious to eat!

Anise Seed Cookies - a great flavourful cinnamon dusted treat!

Delicious fall carrots with smoked honey butter! This side dish goes with everything: chicken, beef, quinoa, fish...

An easy pasta that is creamy, smoky, rich and so, so tasty! If you want it to be vegetarian, then use smoked paprika to add a smoky flavour that balances the creamy, and earthy flavours of the cream and mushroom.

Easy, simple and infinitely useful. You can use this stock to make soups, or stews, or risotto. You can freeze it for later, or boil it down to make bone broth.

This pudding can be made with other extracts: orange extract, lemon extract & different sugars: cardamom sugar, or lavender sugar. 

Imagine orange cardamom pudding or lemon lavender pudding! Yum.

Chicken instead of Turkey is a great Thanksgiving option! Add some bread stuffing and dinner is almost done. This is a very, slightly modified version of an LCBO recipe.

If you want to have all the flavours of Thanksgiving, but don't want to cook the whole bird, then here is  a fabulous recipe!

I used ground turkey instead of pork and it was delicious. Such an easy and impressive dish. Yummy fall flavours.

Aioli is a great condiment for many dishes. In this recipe , the addition of cumin adds more flavour to the original aioli.

Such an easy tasty meal. Make extra for the next day's lunch. The lemon pepper is a tart, slightly warming spice that dressed up a chicken breast with tang!

This recipe is from a Jennifer Bain column from the Toronto Star. My daughter's name is Charlotte and so we had to try it. Deelicious.

So fun to do with the whole family! This can be made with different flours and different sauces to change it up! Easy and delicious.

Brown butter is a traditional French sauce made simply of heated, unsalted butter. Called beurre noisette in French, which translates to hazelnut butter, it is thusly named for its rich, nutty flavour. It’s often used in pastry making, and is classically paired with pasta in northern Italy. It can be used as a sauce for gnocchi, and tortellini—you really don't need to add anything else to it, but you can dress it up further with Italian sausage, shaved parmesan, or breadcrumbs, if you prefer.
