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

Provencal Penne

The addition of orange zest and fennel brings this pasta out of the ordinary.

Caprese Crostininis

An Italian Flag Crostini, Red tomatoes, Green Pesto and White Bocconcini

Roasted Root Vegetables (chunky)

A delicious side dish. The veggies are topped with sage oil and leaves for earthy flavour.

Pan seared Salmon with Roasted Red Pepper Alfredo Sauce

Melt-in-your-mouth pan-seared salmon is covered in a flavorful roasted red pepper sauce for a quick, flavor-packed dinner! Serve it over rice or noodles or by itself.

Salmon with Mango Salsa

Salmon is good for us. It is low in saturated fat, is one of the best sources of vitamin B12, contains healthy omega fatty acids and is a good source of protein, too. It's also loaded with potassium and other nutrients, like vitamin D and iron. In this particular recipe, the salsa is bursting with antioxidants for a wonderfully healthy combination.

Italian White Bean Salad

The dressing works with the beans very nicely in this salad. You can turn it into a whole meal by adding some tuna, prosciutto, or chicken tenders, and/or Romano cheese flakes. Variation: add some 1/4 inch zucchini cubes and small torn pieces of radicchio

Fettuccine with Creamy Red Pepper Feta Sauce

The sauce is to die for. Make it a whole meal by adding chunks of sauteed chicken.

Roasted Sausages with apples

These pork sausages are perfectly baked together with apples, fingerling potatoes, baby carrots and lots of fresh herbs, all in one pan making it super easy for cleanup and ready in just 35 minutes!

Greek Pork Tenderloin Medallions

The herbed gravy is so good you may find yourself doubling it. Goes well with a rice pilaf or a Greek salad pita bread.

The sweetness of the squash and dried cherries is a great counterpoint to savoury sausages.
