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.
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.
Perfect Roast Turkey
If you’re going to go for it and roast a whole turkey, here’s my best recipe for the juiciest bird with crisp, golden skin everyone loves. Even the turkey critics!
And the best part? It's surprisingly easy to make, even if you've never roasted a turkey before.
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!
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.
The Best Roast Chicken You Will Ever Make

Butternut Squash Pasta with Bacon & Parmesan
This is a nice fall recipe with butternut squash, and a unique thick twisted pasta we have not used before. It’s got a great flavour build with onion and bacon, then the caramelized squash with Parmesan. This could also be a bright side dish for entertaining.
Molasses Cider Pork Loin Rib Roast
Our showstopper rib roast is the perfect holiday dinner main. It’s easy to make and makes a beautiful presentation.
Spaghetti Vongole with Pangrattato
My daughter and I were walking in the West Village after seeing “Back from the Vatican,” a funny, fantastic show. It was our third night in NYC, and we still hadn’t had Italian so the striped awnings of Little Italy beckoned. We found a buzzy spot, snagged two seats at the bar and settled into the menu. Spaghetti Vongole caught my eye.
Chicken Stir-Fry with Green Beans
Served with a steamed fragrant Jasmine rice, everyone loves a great stir-fry! This sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This will save time and with the right ingredients on hand, will finish off this dish in less than 20 minutes.
Pan Bagnat
Pan Bagnat is sold on the beaches in Nice and street vendors in Paris. It means bathed bread and it makes perfect sense as the flavour of the sandwich only intensifies the longer it sits, allowing the bread to lazily soak up the dressing.
Cobb Sandwich
The Cobb sandwich was created in 1937 by Robert Cobb, owner of the Brown Derby Restaurant in Hollywood.
