LIME AND VANILLA VEGAN CHEESECAKE

Recipe & Images AMBER BREMNER This easy no-bake vegan cheesecake uses tofu as a main ingredient, creating a lighter result than typical nut-based vegan cheesecakes. It’s creamy and subtly sweet with a perfectly silky texture and has been one of the most popular recipes on my website for years. Freeze leftovers in single serve portions, […]

SIMPLY ROASTED PEARS

Recipe & Image: KATHY PATERSON I’ve never under-rated the pear — they sit among my favourite fruit, so you will often see me using pears in my recipes.

FOCACCIA

Recipe VICKI RAVLICH-HORAN | Images ASHLEE DECAIRES This is a great loaf for sandwiches (fresh and toasted), added to a platter of cheese, dips and cured meats. I love a slice, still warm with a slather of butter. And when it begins to get stale, focaccia makes the best croutons or crostini. 2½ cups warm […]
