This magnificent appetizer takes mere minutes to make and is elegant and definitely company worthy. Harissa Paste, fresh lemons and drained marinated artichokes turn creamy Burrata into an event.

There are as many ways to cook an egg as there are cooks. Whether you like the yolks runny or hard cooked, it really is just a matter to time. An important matter of time. Romesco is a great Spanish addition to any meal.

Roasted Radishes are much sweeter than fresh; we find them similar to roasted root vegetables. This is an easy side dish; they look beautiful on the plate and the taste will surprise you. Give them a try! It’s well worth it.

Quite simply, Rossi are twice cooked potato pancakes, made from pre-made potatoes. Instead of baking, cooling and grating the potato, we deferred to our favourite dehydrated hash browns, Golden Grill Hash Brown Potatoes. Another popular Swiss dish, Rossi originally was eaten for breakfast, but now…

These are fun! Smashed, not mashed. Roughly smashing a baked or boiled potato and drizzling with a little olive oil. For crispy bites, we like to heat them again on high heat in the oven after smashing, but it’s not necessary.

Black Beans are native to Mexico and a staple on the table. This is a pantry side dish to any Mexican meal, using canned Black Beans and a few spices. “Refried” doesn’t actually mean they are fried twice. Refried or “Refritos” is the Spanish word…

Belgian Endive is a bit of an acquired taste. A little bitter, it is especially used in French inspired salads, for crudities, and braised or grilled. Use any nuts or seeds you have on hand or prefer.

Few meals are easier than sheet pan ones. Use just about any meat or fish, some vegetables and you are set!

Reminiscent of Italian Pizzeria’s, this dressing is as close to the bottled salad dressing that we grew up with; only it has a much better olive oil, so a much better taste. It mixes up in minutes with dried herbs and no sugar as often…

Boneless Pork Chops are approached a little differently than the usual in this casual summer meal. A quick marinade in olive oil, red wine vinegar and herbs before grilling on high heat brings out the best flavours!
