Recipe Sifter

Curried leek and potato soup, vegan and gluten-free, with sweet sauteed leeks, mild curry, fresh rosemary, and a touch of arame seaweed for umami depth. A silky, blended weeknight soup with a twist.

Perfect for Christmas breakfast and even better as a side for Christmas dinner. You can use any fresh herbs to stuff inside these festive, tasty, healthy biscuits.

These lovely biscuits are made with cheddar, parmesan, buttermilk and assorted fresh herbs. They are golden-brown outside, cheesy, herby and moist inside, have both great taste and texture.

This Thanksgiving stuffing is packed with fresh seasonal flavors. Will stuff a 10 to 16 pound turkey which serves up to 10 people.

What an easy and tasty dish! Don't forget to let the breasts rest for about 10 minutes after you take them out of the oven, which ensures that all the delicious juices are secured inside the breasts. The roasted veggies were also very flavourful. Definitely a wholesome meal.

Hickory-smoked leg of lamb rubbed with garlic, rosemary, vermouth, and olive oil. Low and slow on a water smoker for 4 to 6 hours until tender and smoky.

Really enjoyed this dish. Quite easy to make, and it was cheesy and delicious. A hearty and tasty meal. Will be making this recipe again.

Make your pasta dishes seem authentic with this spaghetti sauce made of Italian sausage, tomatoes and a variety of spices.

Even the sweet potato/yam "dis-liker" (me) liked the flavor of these. Nice little bite from the cayenne. And the amount of sugar was just right. I don't care for really "sweet" yam dishes at all! Thanks for this addition to our holiday dinner. (Part of my "Thanksgiving 2010" Menu)

Tame wild game with this braised venison in a mushroom sauce.

This savory tart definitely impressed me. The puff pastry was so buttery and crispy after baking, which went deliciously well with creamy goat cheese, lemon zest and fresh rosemary leaves. All the flavors were just perfectly balanced, YUM!

A delicious French-Canadian dish made with boneless pork, veal and white wine.

German clay cooker beef stew braised in red wine and brandy with carrots, ham, and aromatic herbs. The Romertopf method delivers fork-tender beef chuck and rich, concentrated gravy.

This is an easy to make sweet condiment great with all kinds of dishes or a topping for burgers or even as a base for pizza.

Grilled or broiled asparagus are tender, crispy and full of flavor, drizzling some freshly homemade dressing, along with some these meaty and succulent grilled mushrooms, another excellent side-dish with barbecued meats. Simply delicious!

Roasting concentrates the flavour and the roasted garlic doubles up on the depth of flavours. The portobello mushrooms add a meaty texture, and pine nuts add a nutty highlight.
