Puff pastry, jam and a little sugar come together in this pretty turnover, called “jalousie” in French. This expression comes from a type of window shutter, “gelosia,” which originated in Italy and whose openings can be adjusted to allow one to look out without being seen. The slits in the dough are reminiscent of these shutters. No doubt your colleagues will be jealous when they see your dessert at lunchtime.

Pickled Sweet Mini Peppers
So cute, mini bell peppers are available in most grocery stores now. They’re often eaten as crudités, but in this recipe, they’re roasted in the oven, then marinated in oil, parsley and red wine vinegar to transform them into condiments. They’re perfect with charcuteries for cocktail hour, they make the ideal companion to grilled meat and they’re fantastic toppings in a sandwich.

Grilled Bell Pepper Salad with Peaches and Crispy Shrimp
We completely fell in love with this meal-salad. The dressing includes habanero chili, a very spicy orange chili that’s tempered with honey, peach wedges and grilled bell peppers. Add texture and flavour to this dish with shrimp dipped into lightly beaten egg and cornstarch, which make them extra crunchy when cooked. A super fresh salad, with a hint of heat.

Brussels Sprouts on the Stalk

Roast them, coated with bacon breadcrumbs, and serve them with green onion cream. These delicious green-hearted cruciferous vegetables will wow even their strongest critics.

Burratina with Balsamic Roasted Plums
To make the most of the last summer evenings outdoors, we were inspired by a fresh cheese appetizer on the menu at the Café RICARDO restaurants. In a shallow plate, spread roasted plums and top them with a lovely plump ball of burratina, prosciutto slices and basil. Try it before the season is over!

Chicken with Creamy Poblano Chili Pepper Sauce
Poblano chilis are nicely spicy, but not too hot. They’re a staple of Mexican food, which inspired us for this recipe. Prepare the chili in two steps. First, roast it, then purée it with cream, broth and cilantro. You’ll get a creamy sauce in which you’ll cook the chicken cutlets. Garnish the dish with avocado and sliced jalapeño for a beautifully green bowl of food.
