Parsnip Pancakes with Crab and Salsa Verde
This twist on blini and caviar had us greedily clawing for more. It’s the perfect bite for the season: savoury little pancakes, laced with the surprising sweetness of parsnip and topped with chunks of meaty crab, tart sour cream and fresh herbs.

Spiced Moscow Mule
Moscow Mule is my go-to order whenever I pull up a stool at Kabinet, a popular cocktail bar in Montreal. Mule cocktails have a kick (hence the name) thanks to ginger ale, or its spicier, fermented cousin, ginger beer. I like to serve my take on the classic in a copper mug, a tradition dates back to the 1940s. — Étienne Marquis, RICARDO chef

Wonton Chips with Duck Confit
Fry the wonton chips for this heavenly hors d’oeuvre up to two days in advance (store them in an airtight container) and then get to shredding the duck confit: It’s a finger-licking job that you can do the night before. On the big day,

Meatball Stew Soup
Households all over the province of Quebec serve sumptuous ragoût de boulettes on December 25 (the literal translation, meatball stew, doesn’t do it justice). To give the old-school recipe a new spin, Ricardo transformed it into a soup. With Christmasy spices, pork meatballs and broth, a new tradition was born. To make it even more festive, they served the soup in a handsome tureen and ladled it out at the table.
