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

Pork with Paprika, and Mushrooms

This recipe is Hungarian Goulash in disguise - the only difference is that it substitutes pork for the traditional beef.
A generous amount of Hungarian Paprika makes this dish flavorful and moderately spicy.

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.

California Shrimp Stir Fry with Peppers and Mango

Dinner can be ready in only 3/4 hour total!

Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomato cream sauce

An easy pasta with a very good Sun-dried tomato sauce.

Salmon with Red Pepper and Hazelnut Salsa

You can prepare this dish in half an hour if you make the salsa the day before and store it in the fridge. Just remember to heat it up a little before serving.

Apricot Chicken

One of our favourite chicken recipes. Lots of complex flavors going on. Fairly simple and fast for a weeknight meal, but also a good anchor for a fancy meal.

Baked Salmon with Lemon Garlic Sauce

This Lemon Garlic Salmon Recipe makes tender, perfectly flaky baked salmon while lemon garlic sauce with olive oil hits all the right flavor notes.

Pork Tenderloin with Plum Sauce

Pork Tenderloins are done when there is just a small amount of pink in the center, or when an instant-read thermometer reaches 135 degrees F. Remember, the temperature will rise a bit as they rest.

West Coast Clam Chowder

Potato Leek Soup

The smoky taste of ham and the essence of sage combine to bring out the subtle flavours in this hearty soup. We leave the skin on the potatoes to provide extra vitamins.

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