Juicy and delectable, our herb and garlic-infused lamb burger is sent over the top with the addition of smoky grilled eggplant and zesty feta cheese. Topped with a spoonful of our tart and savoury Spiced Tomato Condiment, this show-stopping burger is an ambrosial flavour combination.

Take whatever notion you have of boxed yellow cake mix and cast it aside, for this show-stopping recipe truly is the icing on the cake! Enriched with eggs, buttermilk, and creamy Normandy-style butter, our moist and rich cake is spread with a luscious dark chocolate frosting that’s simply exquisite.

Delicate and lightly sweetened, the exceptional flavour and texture of these cream cheese-filled and crumble-topped buns is further heightened with the addition of our cherry and vanilla fruit spread baked on top.

Butter tarts are a Canadian classic. How to make them more Canadian? Why, add a little maple syrup! If your family does not like raisins, leave them out- buttertarts are equally delicious without them.

Don’t be intimidated by making your own pie crusts- keep this basic recipe in your recipe files. It perfectly fits a 9-inch (23 cm) pie plate, without trimming away extra dough- simply tuck the extra underneath for double thickness at the edge. If your circle is less than perfectly round, you can trim one side after fitting it into pie plate and add to opposite side. If using for a savoury pie, such as tourtiere, omit the sugar.

We added cranberries for a tart twist to a cool-weather classic. No need to thaw the cranberries first- they easily cut in half. You can serve crisp warm or at room temperature, making it a good make-ahead dessert for the holiday meal. Serve with vanilla ice cream for an extra-special treat.

With a julienne of celery root and fresh herbs, a squeeze of lemon, and bound with our rich and creamy olive oil and garlic-infused aioli dressing, this delightful salad is a French Provençal-style classic. And with its contrasting crunch, our crisp and tender sole makes an exquisite accompaniment.

Paella on the barbecue? Why not! This makes a great summer party dish. Substitute PC Hot Spanish-Style Chorizo Sausage if you like a lot of spice.

Chicken livers are under-appreciated, but economical and incredibly versatile. They make a lovely addition to a warm salad- think sautéed livers instead of bacon bits- and are delicious as a main course cooked in a vinegar sauce. But perhaps pâté shows them off to best advantage.

Pad Thai cooking sauce takes much of the work out of this traditional Thai noodle dish that looks as great as it tastes. You can use 200 g shelled raw shrimp in place of the chicken, if you prefer.

Brown rice is the whole grain, including the bran layer, so it is higher in fibre than white rice. Raw brown rice takes longer to cook than white rice, but our frozen rice speeds things up for you, making a perfect and nutritious base for this wonderful shrimp paella.

This cold main-course shrimp salad gets a kick from horseradish. Cut all the vegetables to about ¼ inch (5 mm) dice, about the same size as the peas. Thaw the shrimp first, if you buy frozen.

Instead of serving falafel in same-old pita bread, try this salad. Fresh herb and lemon flavours make it sing.

Meyer lemons are sweeter and less acidic than regular lemons, making them perfect for desserts. This bar makes a nice addition to a dessert tray, where the rule of thumb is one lemon item, one chocolate item and one nut item.
