Eggplant is a delicate fruit that loves the heat. But unlike certain hardier plants, such as kale, it’s very sensitive to cold, so it has to be harvested before the first frost. We decided to grill it on the barbecue and then marinate it so that we didn’t lose any of its flavour.

Elotes a la Parrilla (Grilled Corn on the Cob)
We may not eat quite as much corn as our friends to the south, for whom it’s a major food staple, but the golden grain still holds a precious place on our plates—every year, we eagerly await corn-on-the-cob season with bated (and buttered) breath. After charring our cobs for a quick 10 minutes on the BBQ, we smeared them in a delectable mix of sour cream, mayo, garlic, chili and cilantro. We dare you to eat just one.
