It’s time for a coffee break under the sun, reminiscent of a morning in Tuscany thanks to this affogato, a coffee drink traditionally served with ice cream. We reinvented this classic by replacing the ice cream with homemade granita made with plant-based coconut drink, lemon and sugar, over which espresso is then poured. It’s a recipe that’ll make you want to savour your glass slowly with a spoon.

Glazed fish is always a winning idea with the kids, so on a warm summer evening, be sure to cook dinner in the pizza oven. After all, this recipe only requires six minutes of cooking time! The umami glaze coats the flaky fish so perfectly, you’ll want to add this recipe to your regular seasonal rotation.

Butterflied (or spatchcocked or flattened) chicken is already a quick way to cook a whole bird. By removing the backbone and spine and then pressing down until flat, you’ve already shaved off quite a few minutes of cooking. And baking the chicken in the pizza oven cuts that down even further, to 35 minutes! With tender, juicy meat and a crispy skin, you won’t want to cook chicken any other way!

Make the most of grilling season by wrapping your hot dogs with bacon before grilling them and then glazing them with a maple and garlic sauce at the very end. Garnish them with coleslaw and mustard.

A summer’s night around the campfire is the perfect opportunity to toast some s’mores; don’t forget to add some fork-smashed raspberries. It’s the perfect twist to the classic s’more.

Shortcake is the ultimate summer dessert. If you’re used to making it with strawberries, check out this version featuring plums and cherries. This recipe uses a classic shortcake dough, which is closer to a scone than a cake. For added indulgence, the filling not only includes whipped cream and fresh fruit, but also a plum and cherry compote.

Peaches, cream and pecans are three basic ingredients that make for a promising dessert. Caramelized peaches are topped with a caramel whipped cream and maple sugared pecans that bring some added crunch. Assemble the dessert as soon as the fruit is done cooking, so that the cream begins to slightly melt on the warm peaches.

This pasta dish pays tribute to end of summer sweet corn and is reminiscent of chowders we’ve enjoyed on vacation. The recipe consists of a white sauce with vegetables and shell pasta cooked in the same pot to absorb all the flavours. Garnish this seaside-inspired meal with Nordic shrimp to enjoy their delicate taste.

Come mealtime, go full-on colour with this salad consisting of fresh ingredients. You’ll be charmed by the contrast in textures: crunchy fennel topped with raspberries and creamy burrata. Not to mention the strawberries that have been marinated in a mixture of fennel, pink peppercorns, lemon and honey. It’s the perfect combination of sweet and tangy that’ll make you want to go back for more after each bite.
