Crispy tacos with charred veg and refried beans

Crispy tortillas are topped with spicy refried beans, warm veg and gooey feta in this fantastic vegetarian dinner. Try swapping the feta for fried halloumi if you prefer a milder flavour.

Ingredients

Smoked haddock and gruyère soufflés

Debora Robertson’s twice-baked smoked haddock soufflés are great if you’re at all nervous about making soufflés because you do the hard work ahead, then simply heat them through with a little more cream and cheese to serve. You can even freeze them after their first baking.

Bacon sandwiches with clementine ketchup

A bacon sarnie for breakfast is one of life’s true joys – especially if you got a little too merry at a party the night before. Keep a batch of this incredible clementine ketchup on hand in the fridge – it knocks anything red or brown out of the park. If you’ve ever had a marmalade and bacon sandwich, you’ll know just how well citrus works in the mix; the combination of fruity sharp-sweetness and salty bacon is divine.

Slow-cooked chicken tinga tacos with pickled onions

Chicken thighs are slow-cooked with ancho chillies and chipotle paste until pull-apart tender and infused with all their spicy flavour. Shred the meat and then use to top soft tortilla wraps along with the homemade pickled onions and lots of soured cream.

Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Ham

Here’s how we roast Brussels sprouts to be crispy on the outside and tender inside. Our easy two-part method guarantees the best roasted Brussels sprouts. The ham is optional and can be left out or substituted for turkey, bacon, turkey bacon, or tofu. If you use bacon, we suggest rendering some of the fat first instead of adding raw bacon to the tops of the sprouts. This way, you can use some of the rendered bacon fat instead of the olive oil called for in the recipe.

Easy Lemon Baked Chicken Breasts

For the best, juicy, and tender lemon baked chicken breasts remember these three things: marinate first, bake loosely covered, and use a meat thermometer. Before baking in the oven, we marinate the chicken breasts in a magical mixture of fresh lemon, garlic, Dijon mustard, and parsley. If you’re short on time, marinate as close to an hour as you can. If you’re flexible, go for a whole two hours. And since we want to keep things safe, it’s best to marinate the chicken in the refrigerator (no matter how long you do it for).

Perfect Herb Stuffing

We love this classic herb stuffing recipe made with bread! It is especially good served with chicken and turkey. This is an excellent Thanksgiving stuffing recipe. For the best stuffing, use our homemade garlic croutons. They are easy to make. If you do not wish to use croutons, tips are provided below the recipe for using plain bread.

Japanese style oyster poboy sandwiches

Our version of po’ boys – sandwiches made with fried bits of meat or seafood – uses oysters and takes thing in a more easterly direction.

Easy Balsamic Vinaigrette

Homemade balsamic vinaigrette is a staple recipe in our house. We like vinegary dressings and use twice as much olive oil as vinegar. To make a less vinegary dressing, add more olive oil to taste. I like to add a little sweetener to the dressing. Maple syrup or honey is lovely, or add a little fruitiness with your favorite jam (strawberry jam is especially good). If you are using a thicker balsamic vinegar or one that is aged, it may already taste more sweet, so you may not need to add sweetener.

Ingredients

Home style Chinese steamed sea bass

Eating fish at Chinese New Year is a must, and this home-style sea bass recipe comes from Amy Poon of Poon’s London, a family food business producing top-quality Chinese sauces, oils and dressings.

Weeknight Spaghetti Sauce

We’ve made this easy homemade spaghetti meat sauce countless times and are always happy that we did. The sauce starts with a base of ground meat. We love keeping the sauce on the leaner side and use ground turkey, but any ground meat like beef, sausage, pork, chicken, and lamb will work.
