In this one-pot rice dish, made in collaboration with Classico, the idea is to make a simplified version of a paella in the blink of an eye.

Serve this colourful dish with parsley and half-slices of lemon. All that’s left is to bring it to the table and feed your wanderlust directly from the dining room!

Salmon Rice in the Rice Cooker

For this recipe, apply the same principle by preparing everything in the rice cooker. Let the salmon, rice and edamame gently cook together in the appliance’s pot, and add plenty of flavour with a sauce made with soy and mirin. As for the nori seaweed, mix it into the rice for a Japanese touch to this all-in-one weeknight meal.

Gluten-Free Pizza

With this gluten-free pizza recipe, you’ll get a crust that’s soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside, like one made with wheat flour. Before adding your toppings, pre-bake the dough on a pizza stone until it starts to brown, because gluten-free dough takes a bit longer to cook due to its hydration level. Then, top it as desired and let it finish cooking in the oven, making sure the crust doesn’t get too soggy from the sauce and for moisture to escape, leaving it perfectly crisp.

Grilled Chicken with Corn and Peach Salad

As corn season coincides with peach season, take advantage of these two harvests to create this sunny dish with Asian influence. Marinate the chicken thighs in a peach barbecue sauce made with ripe peaches for maximum flavour, and serve with a peach and grilled corn salad with ginger dressing. It’s a cheerful recipe perfect for celebrating summer.

Braised Chicken Drumsticks with Tomato, Chorizo and Olives

Bring a touch of the Mediterranean to your Tuesday dinner with this one-pan recipe.

It’s a simple weeknight meal to add to your rotation.

Deep Dish Tomato Pizza

Is it a tomato pie? A pizza? Thoughts may vary as to the correct term to use for a deep dish pizza, but what can be said is that it’s a dish that’ll surely impress everyone at the table. The dough is nothing like that of a traditional pizza; it’s a biscuit-like, low-moisture dough that doesn’t need a lot of time to rise. Coat the pan generously with oil, which practically fries the dough. Load with an impressive amount of provolone and havarti cheeses, which waterproof the dough, before adding the tomato sauce. Once cooked, treat yourself to a large slice of cheesy, gooey pizza.
