Recipes
30 written, tested and ready to cook.
Roasted Butternut Squash, Apple & Coconut Soup
I was asked to make 40 litres of soup for a charity event for TEAD, who do amazing work delivering equine-assisted programming for people with disabilities and those struggling with their mental health.
Black Tie Lobster Rolls with Crème Fraîche & Caviar
If a lobster boil and a caviar service had a baby, this would be it.
Mexican-Inspired Shakshuka
Let's get this out of the way: nobody in Mexico calls this shakshuka.
Strawberry Rhubarb Galette with Goat Cheese & Walnuts
Most people look at rhubarb and see an oversized weed.
Michael's Bolognese
This is my husband Michael's favourite food, so it gets made a lot, and always by the potful.
Garlic Clams with Warm Baguette
Dinner for when I want to be on a French coast and have twenty minutes to get there.
Creamy Corn Pasta with Crispy Prosciutto
Ontario corn in August is so good it's almost rude: sweet, milky, and stacked at every farm stand for pocket change.
Cold Peanut Soba Noodle Salad with Seared Shrimp
Cold noodles, crunchy vegetables, shrimp with a little char, and a peanut-ginger dressing you'll want to eat with a spoon.
Peanut Soba & Shrimp Fresh Rolls
How to eat a salad without it feeling like a salad.
One-Pan Cast-Iron Chicken Thighs with Quinoa-Bulgur & Vegetables
My cosy weeknight dinner, in one pan with one thing to wash.
Crispy Buffalo Cauliflower with Blue Cheese Yogurt
Wing night, without the wings.
Blueberry Tea Biscuit Breakfast Pudding
This was born of guilt and freezer real estate.
Oatmeal Banana Cottage Cheese Pancakes
I make these on Monday and my kids eat them all week.
Red-Wine Braised Bone-In Short Ribs
A fan favourite. The actual prize at not one but two golf tournaments.
King Oyster Mushroom "Scallops" with Brown Butter & Sage
East Coast seafood with a twist: there's no seafood. King oyster mushrooms, seared hard in brown butter and sage.
Honey Soy Glazed Chicken
Sticky, charred, glossy, and gone fast. A roast chicken with a soy and honey glaze.
Fried Chicken
Growing up, fried chicken meant KFC. This is the version I've refined for home.
Homemade Potato Gnocchi
Pillowy potato gnocchi, browned hard in butter. Easier than you think, and more impressive than it has any right to be.
Chicken Tinga Tostadas
Smoky chipotle chicken on crisp tostadas. Big Mexican flavour, and not a boring taco in sight.
Blueberry Grunt with Lemon Whipped Cream
My grandmother's grunt, with the extra lemon my grandfather loved.
Heather's Cheddar Chive Scones
Best for cottage breakfasts. The crispy cheddar edges are the whole point.
Ricotta Biscuits
Tender, tall and golden. Breakfast, a snack, or the reason dinner was late.
Stupid-Simple East Coast Garlic Cheese Fingers
A pizza-night throwback for anyone who grew up East Coast. Garlic butter, a blanket of cheese, cut into fingers.
Homemade Granola
Oats, almonds, pumpkin seeds and chia. The jar I keep refilling.
Green Curry Mussels
Mussels in a green curry broth, with plenty of bread for the bottom of the bowl.
Smash Burger Tacos
Yes, the viral one. A burger smashed straight onto a tortilla, and it lived up to the hype.
Whipped Pimento Ricotta Dip
Pimento cheese, lightened up with ricotta and lemon. Built for a Masters party and a sleeve of Ritz.
Make-Ahead Party Drumsticks
What I make when we host the kids' birthday party at home for 100-plus people. Cooked the day before, finished on the grill.
Apple-Picking Applesauce
Three bags of apples and absolutely no plan. This is the plan.
Lemon Posset with Raspberries & Mint
Cream, sugar and lemon. Make it the day before and look like you tried much harder than you did.
