Olive Oil Crackers
Made with olive oil and the toppings of your choice—fleur de sel, sesame, poppy or fennel seeds—these crackers are as pleasant to make as they are to receive.

Potato and Caramelized Onion Gratin
Timing an elaborate meal is tricky, but we have a tasty cheat for mashed potatoes: Transform them into a gratin by spreading caramelized onions over them and topping with cheese. Prepare the day before and slide into the oven for a few minutes before serving. Our prediction? This super side dish will steal the spotlight.

Cream of Asparagus and Basil Soup with Cottage Cheese Toast
It may be the colour of the Grinch, but this silky cream of asparagus is anything but stingy: it’s rich in fibre, a key component in helping people with diabetes regulate their blood sugar levels.

Turkey Roast with Cranberries
No, it’s not a pre-holiday fever dream—you can actually cook a turkey this year without even cracking open that oven!
