Ricardo was (just a little) proud when he brought out this masterpiece. A yule log but reimagined—and no rolling involved! Thanks to gorgeously caramelized pears, a kiss of local sweet clover (or imported vanilla) and sinful pastry cream softened with whipped cream, this beaut will put your holiday menu over the top. Especially decorated with star-shaped (or any shape, really!) gingerbread cookies; we made our own, but you can use store-bought to save time.

Chili Pot Pie
In a traditional chili pot pie, a ramekin or casserole dish is filled with chili, the covered with cornbread batter and baked. To save time, we ditched the cornbread for an express version that has huge Tex-Mex flavour. Three words: cheesy quesadilla toppers.

Crunchy Almond, Chocolate and Caramel Cake
«With its delicately piped ganache and buttercream teardrops, you’ll want to serve this dessert right away. BUT All the components can be made in advance: Just freeze the cake and refrigerate the buttercream and ganache for two to three days and store the almond meringue in an airtight container until you’re ready to assemble.» — Kareen, kitchen director

Skillet Apple Pie
It’s all about balance in this rustic pie where sweet Gala and sour McIntosh meet in the middle of buttery pastry. Tapioca, sprinkled on the inside of the pie, soaks up any extra apple juices, helping the crust stay wonderfully crisp and golden.

This quick and practical way to spin your classic spaghetti sauce puts all the players in one pot. Dried pasta cooks in chicken broth and milk, which forms the basis for a divinely creamy sauce that kids will love and parents (and their guests) will relish.

Creton Spread (The Best)
While we didn’t aim to reinvent the wheel on this homemade classic, we had an idea: what if it was possible to create a creton recipe that was better than store- bought or even better than grandma used to make?

Poke Nachos
With poke trending harder than avocado toast, it was inevitable that our Hawaiian party would include a version of the raw fish salad. Ricardo’s wild idea? Nacho-fy it! We liberated poke from the bowl and served it atop tortilla chips, making it the ultimate finger food. The marinated cubes of fresh tuna got scooped up faster than we could do the hokey-poke. Tip: To infuse this recipe with more authentic Hawaiian flavour, swap those corn chips for taro chips.
