Chickpeas have the same comforting power as yellow peas in this popular pea soup. However, this preparation is made much simpler thanks to canned legumes, which soak up the flavours of the curry powder, ground coriander and Jamaican pepper. Add Brussels sprouts leaves and roasted chickpeas as a topping, along with garlic chips. A drizzle of maple syrup intensifies the soup’s flavour.

Maple-Rosemary Cocktail
There’s no need to wait for dessert to eat some maple taffy on snow; you can enjoy some during cocktail hour. In this drink, you’ll note the freshness of the white apple vermouth and the resinous aromas of the gin and rosemary. You’ll also find the latter in the sugar, which is used to coat the rim of your glass to give it a frosted look. Fill your glass with crushed ice and add a stick of taffy to it.

Cheddar Soufflé Omelette with Maple Popcorn
Omelette soufflé is a must-have at sugar shack meals. In this recipe, we wanted to give it a more indulgent twist.

Once baked, garnish with a vinegar-dressed herb salad and, for a final touch, top with maple popcorn. Surprising yet delicious.

Lemon Posset
Both creamy and vibrant, this British dessert is a treat that only requires three ingredients and eight minutes of cooking time. The hot mixture of lemon, cream and sugar thickens after a few hours in the refrigerator. It results in a very light cream, the perfect balance between sweet and sour, and is reminiscent of lemon curd minus the egg. It’s something sweet that’ll transport you elsewhere.
