Sicilian Ricotta and Chocolate Turnovers (Cassatelle)

Cannoli lovers will not be disappointed in these turnovers, which share similar components with the famous Italian dessert. Cassatelle, as they’re called, originate from Sicily and consist of a very thin layer of dough (that must even be laminated with the pasta machine), which is then fried and filled with ricotta cheese. In this case, we’ve also added dark chocolate for an even more decadent version. Serve the turnovers lukewarm so that the chocolate is still gooey.

Spinach and Feta Frittata

This dish is perfect for brunch, dinner or lunch the following day. This super simple frittata combines baby spinach, eggs and feta cheese, with a pickled onion topping. We suggest that you make the best of these local ingredients that are both delicious and affordable.

Sous Vide Leek Confit with Lemon-Thyme Dressing

Harvested in spring and fall, leeks are the highlight of this refined dish that’s sweet on your wallet. Cooked sous vide, the vegetable is elegantly served and will melt in your mouth.

Chicken with Pecorino and Lemon

We love meals using ingredients that can all be cooked on the same baking sheet. For this recipe, some potatoes and squash wedges cook first, then chicken breast halves are added, coated in a mixture of mayonnaise, pecorino romano cheese and lemon juice. You’ll get tender, juicy chicken. Delicious!

Meal-Sized Tortellini and Vegetable Soup

To make a hearty meal-soup ready in less than 30 minutes, choose store-bought tortellini. Cook them in beef broth with seasonings and cherry tomatoes, and you’re all done!

Cod with Paprika and Cherry Tomatoes

A 10-minute dish, could that be too good to be true? Nope! In this recipe, both fish and tomatoes cook together on a sheet pan at high heat. The cod remains super tender while the cherry tomatoes are lightly roasted. Serve with couscous and cilantro leaves.

Curried Tofu Croquettes

Kids will love these crunchy croquettes and parents will love serving tofu in a different way. In this case, the plant-based protein is crumbled, then mixed with an egg and cornstarch as well as an onion and curry powder paste.

Korean-Style Braised Beef Sandwiches

Among fresh options to accompany Korean braised beef, these sandwiches rank high. They’re inspired by the bo ssam, a Korean dish made with thinly sliced braised meat. To accompany this tender piece of meat, make a vegetable salad with cucumber and radishes lightly macerated in rice vinegar and sugar, combining all the ingredients with sesame oil mayo. Serve in a hot dog brioche bun. Ultra fresh and crunchy.

Earl Grey Gin Sour

Combine gin and Earl Grey tea into a single beverage that’s a perfect marriage of both. This cocktail offers delicious citrus and bergamot aromas, thanks to the infusion of Earl Grey tea in the alcohol. Tangy notes balance out the strong presence of tea with a lemony touch. This cocktail has become an instant favourite.
