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

Greek Sheet Pan Chicken

This Greek sheet pan chicken recipe is a quick and easy dinner but so vibrant and flavorful. Chicken thighs, veggies, and big hunks of tangy feta stew in lemony, garlicky ladolemono dressing until everything is tender and golden brown.

Italian Oven Roasted Vegetables

Delicious, roasted to tender perfection, and bold with Italian flavors from fresh garlic, oregano, thyme and extra virgin olive oil!

Blueberry Balsamic Chicken

The sweetness of blueberries and maple syrup blend with the acidity of balsamic vinegar and fragrant rosemary to make a rich sauce for baked chicken. Searing the chicken breasts in the skillet before making the sauce gives it extra flavor.

Roasted Red Pepper Dip

Roasted Red Pepper Dip is for those nights when you feel like what you should eat for dinner is a salad, but what you want for dinner is a giant bowl of dip, a bag of chips, and no regrets.

Southwestern Chicken and Quinoa Casserole

Casseroles are a friendly way to cook in large quantities, hit every food group in a single pan, and generate yummy leftovers for the rest of the week.
Casseroles can also be adapted to suit any number of tastes and are categorically creamy and cheesy, leaving us with a welcome case of the warm fuzzies.

Architect’s Pasta

Pasta dell’Architetto , as it is referred to in Sicily was contributed to Eating Well magazine by the Sicilian Architect and winery owner , Giusto Occhipinti .

Moussaka

This is one of the most famous Greek dishes. It is also well known in Lebanon, Turkey, and the Arab world. It features eggplants, zucchini, tomatoes, and potatoes. This version is topped with Parmesan cheese. Satisfies the biggest hunger on cold winter nights.

Warm Chevre Salad

"Chevre" is French, for both goat and goat cheese. Look for BC brands, Carmelis, Happy Days, Salt-spring, or Goat's Pride. This salad uses Red, and Butter Lettuce.

Oma's Paska

The family easter bread

Beef Roulades with Walnut Parsley Pesto

You can use prosciutto instead of the bacon (no need to cook, it's already cured), or skip it all together and just do a roll-up with the pesto of your choice.
