Super easy peasy and pucker baked carrots. This recipe is close to the one that Jamie Oliver prepared in Season 2 of his Naked Chef show, I think the episode was "A bun in the oven".

A delicious colorful Cajun pasta main with chicken and shrimp.

A succulent seafood pasta dish made with shrimp, clam juice and white wine.

A very rich and flavorful mushroom soup that highlights the mushrooms. Use any kind of mushrooms you can find from the exotic Enoki and Portabella (as pictured) to the readily available common white mushroom.

An easy, tasty and low fat Mediterranean style chicken and figs, serve over a bed of rice or a few slices of bread.

Try this original pasta dish that is ideal for a dinner for two. Great served with freshly toasted garlic bread.

A colourful vegetable mixture accompanies succulent salmon steaks for a quick and easy dish. Great with steamed rice.

This is a variation of a classic French dish that uses several reductions to build a ton of flavor that matches perfectly with the crispy seasoned tofu. Oyster mushrooms or other mushrooms work well too.

Pumpkin cheese soup is a Thanksgiving showstopper served right inside a baked pumpkin. A creamy, cheddar-rich pumpkin soup ladled from an edible tureen, scraping tender pumpkin into every bowl. As much centerpiece as supper.

Marvelous recipe. I prepared it exactly as written and wouldn't change a thing.

This is one of several Chinese stuffed pancake recipes, here we use bok choy, shiitake mushrooms and mung bean noodles (like vermicelli), tossed with sesame oil, ginger, garlic and five spice powder, lightly fry them on a non-stick skillet until golden brown outside, and steamy and flavorful inside.

Steamed mussels in a spicy tomato, white wine, and red chilli sauce with garlic and spring onions. Serve with crusty bread to soak up every drop of the broth.

I've always been a fan of combining sweet fruits with savory spices, it sets up a certain flavor balance that just works so well. Mango with chili pepper, peaches and thyme, rhubarb and rosemary. They're all delicious, so can there be any question that blackberries and rosemary would just be a match made in heaven?

This recipe would have been 5 stars without the sliced sun-dried tomatoes. The tomatoes dominated the flavor of the sauce so much that it didn't allow the mushrooms to shine through. My wife liked it, but I noticed she was picking out the tomatoes too.

Seared chicken breasts topped with a buttery white wine sauce loaded with tender pears and juicy blueberries. A 40-minute weeknight dinner that feels like a special occasion.

Crispy Spanish olive oil cookies spiced with anise, cinnamon, and sesame seeds, finished with sliced almonds. Egg-free, dairy-free, and fragrant with lemon and white wine.
