Classic Blueberry Pie

There’s something about a homemade blueberry pie that feels just right in the fall. Four cups of blueberries, a little sugar and lemon zest, tucked between two layers of buttery pastry and baked until golden and bubbling. Serve it warm, while the filling is still a little runny. Simple, old-fashioned and absolutely delicious.

Blueberry Pancakes

And here are my favourite pancakes, but I certainly don’t reserve these just for the holidays, they are fantastic and comforting all year long.

Blueberry, Goat Cheese and Herb Salad

Bright and fresh, this Blueberry, Goat Cheese, and Herb Salad perfectly balances sweet and tangy. Mixed greens, juicy blueberries, creamy goat cheese, and toasted almonds are tossed in a vibrant blueberry vinaigrette. Easy, delicious, and perfect for summer lunches or as a side dish.

Baking & Desserts

French Apple Tart with Brown Butter Glaze & Maldon Salt

A beautiful French apple tart with crisp, buttery pastry, naturally sweet Honeycrisp apples (you could also use more tart Granny Smith’s) and a delicate brown sugar butter glaze. Finished with flaky Maldon sea salt for the perfect balance of sweet and salty.

Mains

Chicken Parmesan with Tomato Sauce

A recipe so delicious you'll want to pick the bubbly cheese parts right from the pan. San Marzano tomato sauce and a well-aged Parmesan like Reggiano take it to another level.

Brown Sugar and Citrus Roasted Salmon

This salmon gets its incredible flavour from a simple combination of brown sugar, fresh lemon juice and extra-virgin olive oil. The brown sugar adds just enough sweetness to balance the richness of the salmon, while fresh lemon keeps everything bright.

Sides

Honey Roasted Carrots and Parsnips

This special vegetable dish could take centre stage, the combination of slightly charred vegetables (created by roasting directly on a baking dish), toasted nuts, honey and dates is incredible.

Sweet Peas with Bacon & Lemon

Sweet peas, salty bacon, bright lemon — if you like peas, this is the perfect side. Start by frying chopped bacon until it’s deeply golden, then set it aside so it stays perfectly crisp.
