Mari’s Best Crispy Potato Pancakes

Salads & Soups

Kale & Radicchio Salad with Sour Dough Croutons

I can’t get enough of this delicious fall salad. It’s fresh, crunchy and so good.

Tuscan kale, red radicchio and crisp fennel come together with sweet little Zante currants and the most delicious dressing. But the game changer is the croutons.

Mains

Overnight Pork Roast

This recipe was inspired by Amanda Hesser’s Overnight Roast, which she told me was her favourite in her first cookbook. I made a few changes, especially to the marinade, only because I didn’t have maple syrup on hand and I had run out of thyme leaves. But when I want to make something, I have to make it now!

Charred Macerated Heirloom Tomato Bruschetta

My friend Julie took me to her favourite farmer’s market in Alberta, with the backdrop of the Rocky Mountains, it was incredible. The market’s vibrant, fresh fruits and vegetables were so inspiring — full of colour and flavour. I found these gorgeous, colourful heirloom tomatoes and they reminded me of a starter I had at my favourite bistro in Toronto. Charred tomato bruschetta bursting with flavour.

My Best Chicken Soup With Zucchini and Corn

This delicious soup demands a second bowl. Full disclosure: since I created this soup, I’ve become obsessed.

Beef Short Ribs in Red Wine with Gremolata

This recipe is so delicious and everyone loves it. The short ribs are browned then gently simmered for 3 hours with onions and carrots in a red wine and pancetta-spiked tomato sauce.
