We’ve headed into fall and the remaining Romanesco zucchini need to be used…now what? I’d pretty much run through the “zucchini repertoire” and I needed to come up with something for dinner. There’s that leftover barbecued corn from the night before…hmmm. Here it is…kind of macaroni and cheese without the macaroni using zucchini and corn instead! […]
I like to serve a big, bowl of crunchy greens with savory tarts dressed with lemon vinaigrette, especially in the spring. Makes an 8″ or 9″ Tart A pre-baked pie shell.** I prefer to use a glass pie dish because it gives a crisper crust. However, you can also use a 9″ rimmed, fluted 1 1/4″ […]
Simply a wonderful combination of flavours for a delicious fall appetizer. Local pears, some fresh rosemary and a bit of melted brie. I make a stash of the Honey Pear Preserves to have on hand for a quick appetizer. 1 baguette 3 Tbsp. EVOO 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 tsp. chopped fresh rosemary 8 oz. […]
You just gotta love summer! It’s delicious! The recipe makes a lot, but it keeps very well, for up to 1 week. It’s bit time consuming but I think the end result is well worth it and you can cut up everything but the eggplant the day before. Terrific to have in the fridge in […]
The colours of the Italian flag! I am always on the look-out for really good vegetarian pasta dishes and think this one is really, really good. Makes 8 Servings 2 Tbsp. EVOO 3 large red bell peppers, chopped 15 oz. ricotta cheese, (I prefer Scardillo Geniuna** it’s creamy & not grainy) 1 ½ lbs. broccoli, […]
It’s the time of the year when we seem to be running off in all directions! All those invitations come rolling in, housecleaning to be done, decorating to be done…whew! I won’t even mention the shopping! It’s my turn to get out there next week but I find if I can avoid the malls […]

I found some end of season eggplant at the Farmer’s Market and thought, what better way to use it, than to make this for Veggie Monday…not saying you can’t make it on other days! This makes a really, really tasty vegetarian main course. A nice addition might be a salad […]
For a printer friendly version of this recipe, click here. It’s fall! After discovering the most amazing chanterelles at Trout Lake Farmer’s Market the other day there was no question as to what we would be doing with them. It’s sort of like when you come across fresh porcini of fresh truffles; simple is best! […]
For a printer friendly version of this recipe, click here. This was a tart we made many times in the summer for corporate catering events, except that we made individual ones. They are vegetarian to boot! The beauty was that they could be served room temperature and were just as delicious as when served warm! I have […]
For a printer friendly version of this recipe, click here. Made these on the weekend, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside…delicious, herby, cheesy little nuggets! You can serve them with yogurt but as I have an endless supply, it seems, of Sungold cherry tomatoes, I roasted them up with slivers of garlic, salt, […]
