This type of cake is called a “poke cake,” or in other words, cake with holes. The secret? After taking it out of the oven, you poke several holes in the cake’s surface and pour in a lemon cream that will infuse the whole dessert. For even more freshness, spread some basil-flavoured whipped cream on top.

Sea Buckthorn Meringue Pie
When you want to cook with local ingredients, it can be difficult to replace lemon or lime in some recipes. But local sea buckthorn, a small orange berry that’s very acidic, deserves to be better known, as it may be a perfect replacement! In this recipe, we use it the way we would for lemon meringue pie, replacing lemon juice with a speedy homemade sea buckthorn juice. Hurrah for local ingredients!

Grilled Eggplant with Curried Chickpeas
Eggplant is delicious grilled, which makes it a star of your barbecues. This recipe calls for smothering it generously with curry oil. Prepare a papillote of chickpeas, garlic and sultanas, and cook it next to your star veggie. Some of the chickpeas will be nicely roasted while others will be more confit. Inspired by Indian cuisine, this dish owes its deep flavours to the spices, the creamy and tangy yogurt, as well as cherry tomatoes which add a splash of colour. Mint leaves and naan bread complete the dish. Simple and generous.

Piri Piri Tofu and Grilled Cauliflower with Dill Sauce
The famously bold flavours of Portuguese chicken come into play in this veggie dish which should be included on your menu more often! Break firm tofu into pieces and soak them in piri-piri sauce. This way, the plant-based protein absorbs seasonings better and the jagged shapes yield random caramelization, like meat. A hybrid between ranch dressing and coleslaw vinaigrette, the sauce balances out the spiciness.
