Japanese Squash Curry
Japanese Squash Curry

I used the Japanese Kuri squash which is a fiery red colour. It roasts well. You can use any drier variety of squash for this curry.

Shortbread Cookies
Shortbread Cookies

The best Scottish shortbread handed down through my family. Crumbly, sweet and buttery.

Shrimp and feta with orzo
Shrimp and feta with orzo

This dish has a salty, savoury sauce with a little bit of a kick. If you don't want the spice of the jalapenos, leave it out, and finely diced onion can be used instead of the shallots.

Devilled Deep Fried Eggs
Devilled Deep Fried Eggs

This is the one hors d’oeuvre that I keep being asked for time and time again. It’s crunchy, creamy, spicy and hits all the high spots.

Squash Soup with Wild Mushrooms
Squash Soup with Wild Mushrooms

Mushrooms and squash have a real affinity and this soup proves it. I like to use oyster mushrooms, but chanterelles, which I found at the supermarket this week, provide the best flavour.

Apple pie with cheddar crust

The fifth taste, umami, has much to do with glutamate, an amino acid found in such foods as prosciutto, soy sauce and a number of cheeses. Umami can show up in your glass, too (fermentation is glutamate’s old friend).

Pork with White Beans and Bitter Greens
Pork with White Beans and Bitter Greens

When this recipe originally ran in The Globe and Mail, I received a lovely note from reader Barbara Zuchowicz. This dish reminded her of a wonderful meal she had in Italy: "It brought back joyful memories of a trip to Italy my late husband, an exceptional cook, and I took a number of years ago.

Raspberry Linzer Squares

Raspberry Linzer Squares

The melt-in-the-mouth texture and slightly nutty flavour are an outstanding combination. Linzers are usually made with hazelnuts but any ground nuts can be used – the texture doesn't change, just the flavour.

Lime Coconut Squares

Lime Coconut Squares

With the tart lime mellowed by the sweet coconut, these squares always disappear quickly. To toast coconut, spread evenly on a baking tray and bake for about 5 minutes at 350 F or until fragrant.

Date shortbread squares

Date shortbread squares

This is the perfect end to the meal with a cup of coffee. These are baked slowly to make sure that the shortbread does not become too brown and lose its perfect texture.

White chocolate fruit and nut squares

A kid’s delight. A bit like a Rice Krispies square only much better. This is also great with either dark or milk chocolate.

Plum Squares

Cooked plums are under appreciated, but these squares will have you on the bandwagon. Small Italian prune plums work best for this recipe.
