This fudge is inspired by a family recipe from our kitchen director, Kareen. She used salty roasted peanuts to balance the sweetness of the fudge. Allergies? Skip the peanuts.

Beef Stew with Green Vegetables
Here’s the perfect recipe to make on the weekend, so it’s on-hand and ready to serve during the week (or up to three months later if you freeze it). Pour a glass of wine, turn up the volume on that playlist and take advantage of the stress-free two-hour cooking time. As the meat simmers and soaks up the tasty sauce (beer, broth, ketchup and soy sauce), lay the groundwork for your weekday meals to come. By taking the time to precook the green veggies that go with this recipe, all you’ll have to do when it’s time to serve is reheat them with the beef. And while you’re at it, prep more veg for the week: Washing, cutting and blanching vegetables in large quantities means you’ll have them ready for future dinners—and packed lunches, too.

Sweet and Savoury Braised Pork
After a long day, there’s nothing better than walking into a house filled with the smell of sumptuous, Thai-inspired pork that’s been gently braising for hours. Don’t hesitate to let your slow cooker do some heavy lifting during the week. The trusty appliance will help you transform hefty and more economical cuts—like the delectable pork shoulder pictured here—into hearty, easily assembled meals. It takes just a few minutes to brown the pork and bring the sauce (which you can start the day before) to a boil in the same skillet. If you’re tempted to skip these steps, please don’t! They’re so easy to do before heading out in the morning and you’ll be rewarded with richer flavour and consistency. You won’t believe how aromatic the results are from what amounts to a relatively short list of ingredients. (Spoiler: The secret is the curry paste, one of our favourite and most indispensable pantry staples.)

Roasted Chicken with Cabbage and Glazed Apples
Even modest amounts of fresh herbs can add huge flavour to dishes, like parsley and rosemary do here. To ensure they’re always recipe-ready, we wash, rinse and dry our herbs fresh from the market, then store them between layers of paper towel inside resealable plastic bags in the refrigerator. And while you’ve got the salad spinner out, why not give lettuce and other leafy greens a whirl?

Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread
We’ve tinkered plenty with zucchini breads over the years—we love the moistness the summer squash adds to baked goods—but when our rooftop produced a bumper crop, we knew we had to up our game. The answer? Chocolate times two. Our rich zuke loaf has cocoa galore, but we didn’t stop there. Enter melty, decadent, dark-chocolate chunks!
