Though Scandinavian cuisine has gotten a turn-of-the-century facelift through the Michelin-starred restaurant, Noma, there's really nothing better on a cold, snowy day than a cozy, hearty chowder loaded with potatoes and tender fish. In Nordic countries, where salmon, cod, crab, and potatoes are staples, hearty soups and creamy stews using local ingredients are just as common as meticulously-plated elk medallions and sliced truffles.  Continue Reading

Classic Chili

The Best Classic Chili is a traditional chili recipe just like mom used to make with ground beef, beans, and a simple homemade blend of chili seasonings.

Cream of Tomato Soup

A Shaw family classic, modernized from James Beard's Mothers Tomato soup recipe.

Green Tuna Salad

Tuna salad is a classic American dish that can trace its origins to the 19th century, although it was first made with other kinds of fish, including white fish or trout. Nowadays, tuna salad, especially in sandwich form, is a staple lunch for many North Americans. This easy and creative variation on tuna salad turns everything green, bulking up the classic dish with vegetables, an avocado dressing, and herbs.

Greek Parmesan Yogurt Chicken

If there’s an easier way to turn boneless, skinless chicken breasts into a killer, creamy, cheese-topped dinner, we don’t know what it is. This is a Shaw family favourite.

Avocado Corn Salad

This Avocado Corn Salad is a bright and feel-good salad that’s loaded with grilled corn, creamy avocado, cherry tomatoes, and the dressing gives it an amazing fresh flavor.

Mediterranean Cucumber Tomato Salad

Cucumber tomato salad is an all-star recipe with just three key ingredients and a lemony dressing.
Notes:
For best flavour, set the salad aside for a few minutes before serving. This will give the flavours time to meld.
This salad will keep for up to three days. Store covered in the refrigerator.
Feel free to add some feta or fresh mozzarella cheese.

Phantom Rhubarb Muffins

What do you mean they're gone? Again?

Thallasa Greek Salad

Vine-grown produce, olive oil, and feta are the core of a real Greek salad. But step away from the lettuce. There is nothing delicate about a Greek salad. It's one of those simple, earthy dishes composed of what the rocky Greek soil and searing growing-season temperatures sustain. Called a horiatiki salata, or "peasant" salad, in Greek, it's the product of a terroir that's generally inhospitable in summer to such heat-sensitive, broad-leaved things as salad lettuce.

Peperoni Mandorlati

Sicilian sweet and sour peppers, agro dolce technique inherited from the invading Saracens. Pairs nicely with grilled pork chops or sautéed chicken.

Pork Tenderloin with Dried Plums, Apples, & Onions

The Scandinavians usually have roast pork for Christmas dinner, although pork ribs, Goose and Turkey are also popular. This Pork tenderloin recipe features the fruits incorporated into the sauce instead of the more usual location stuffed inside the pork.
