Chicken and Herb Stew with White Beans
It isn’t very often that I roast a chicken, and a big part of that is the issue of leftovers. This recipe solves that problem! This stew is packed with protein and the beans also add bonus fiber. Ok, enough boring stuff, let’s talk about the important things. This is warm and comforting and perfect…

Chai and Spice Pumpkin Bread
There are a lot of classic pumpkin bread recipes which call for water. I’m always a bit suspicious of water in recipes – it has its place, but it can be a missed opportunity for another layer of flavour. In this cake chai takes the place of water, adding a subtle and welcome earthy richness.…

Roasted Pumpkin Puree
There are few things sadder than a jack-o-lantern after Halloween. The eyes slowly close, the mouth caves in, and eventually the whole thing starts to look unsettlingly like your grandparents when they forgot to wear their dentures.

Everything else is paused and there is nothing else that needs doing except to slowly stir and watch dinner come together. Or maybe it is the fact that it is literally impossible…

Walnut and Date Bread with a Cinnamon Apple Swirl
This is a rather rustic bread. It is happiest in thick slices next to a big cup of hot coffee, but would be ill at ease on the multi-tiered trays served at elegant tea parties. Which is too bad, since this bread has a lot to offer. If coziness is available in bread form, this…

Baked Hasselback Apples Poached in Red Wine
For many people, fall means pumpkin spice. I understand completely, but for me, apples are the official flavour of the season. Especially if they are baked… I know that this seems like a lot of steps for what are essentially baked apples, but did you really want me to tell you to just chuck some…

Spiced Red Wine Syrup
I started to type that this recipe is a good way to use up extra wine. Then I realized what I was saying and deleted all of that! This is a good way to use up wine that is maybe a bit past its prime, or that maybe wasn’t your favourite, but who has ever…
