Dairy-free Macaroni Bake
This healthy macaroni bake is a favourite among kids who crave macaroni and cheese but cannot have dairy. Even kids who think they are eating the real thing can be fooled by this recipe. Cooking and pureeing the cauliflower gives the sauce a whiteness that makes it look like the traditional cream sauce. The zucchini adds a nice colour to the dish but can be omitted if kids don’t like it.

Maple-Braised Pork Chops
With its sweet-and-tangy combination of flavors, this popular home-style recipe from New England is a cousin to the well-loved barbecued or pulled pork of the American South. If you like, tuck some wedges of apple among the chops during the last half hour or so of cooking. Makes 4 servings

Jambalaya with Shrimp, Chicken, and Ham
The derivation of the word jambalaya is said to have come from Spanish, French, and African cultures. All three lay claim to the origins of this quintessential Creole concoction that combines chicken and seafood with rice and assorted seasonings. Use crawfish in place of the shrimp if you can find them. This recipe can easily be doubled to serve a crowd. Makes 4–6 servings
-
Indian Chickpea Curry
Known in India as chana masala, this classic stew of chickpeas can be enjoyed as a side dish or accompanied by rice pilaf as a vegetarian main course. Added at the end of cooking, a sprinkling of garam masala, a widely available blend of spices, heightens the curry’s flavor and aroma. Makes 6–8 servings
-
Chicken Korma
One of the richest-tasting, yet mildest curries, this northern Indian specialty is beloved for its creamy sauce, which includes puréed cashew nuts. Different versions may use yogurt or cream as part of the final enrichment, but this recipe features buttermilk, a lighter, but no less authentic choice. Serve with steamed white rice to soak up the sauce. Makes 6–8 servings
-
Fettuccine Alfredo
This classic dish is elegantly tasty, simple and super speedy. The creamy, cheesy sauce that makes Fettuccine Alfredo so memorable easily forms when great Parmesan cheese and a splash of cream are simply tossed together with hot noodles and aromatics. This dish is at its best when you make it and serve it immediately. Serves 4
