Are you a salsa traditionalist or a salsa trailblazer? While I love my restaurant-style blender salsa recipe, I have to admit that I have a weakness for non-traditional salsa recipes too. When strawberries are in season, this easy strawberry salsa is hard to beat. It’s easy to make as an afternoon snack or while you cook crispy cauliflower tacos or vegan fish tacos for a weeknight dinner, but the flavours and freshness of this strawberry salsa make it fitting for a party, too....

Is there anything better than homemade doughnuts? I can’t think of much! And these Gingerbread Doughnuts with Cinnamon-Ginger Glaze are my new favourite dedication to the Gingerbread Man.

They are known as a power legume due to how long they’ve been around (all the way back to 8,000 BC) and their high protein content. They’re also incredibly versatile: Whether you have them plain, on a salad, in chili, or as a meat replacer in meatloaf! There are many different colours of lentils — black, red, brown, green and yellow....
Any Middle Eastern restaurant worth its salt will offer hummus and baba ghanoush on their appetizer menu. Some people may prefer one or the other, but I always say: why not both?! Baba ghanoush has a uniquely smoky flavour, along with the brightness of lemon and the herbaceous addition of parsley. That smoky flavour comes from charring the eggplant over an open flame, but since we’re making this at home, my workaround is using smoked paprika instead....

Dal means lentil. Dal rice is a basic comfort food of every Indian household. My mom made dal every single day. I lover her Rajasthani khatti meethi dal and dal dhokli recipes.
