You’ll get better results if you opt for smaller amounts of aged, flavorsome varieties rather than larger quantities of the milder-tasting cheeses. Caveaged gruyère, Greek barrel-aged feta and extra mature cheddar will bring bags of flavor to your baking.

You can make the most of even the smallest pieces of leftover meat on your holiday turkey. I simmer the bones to get the rich flavor, then easily remove any meat that remains. I add rice, vegetables and cream soup for a hearty soup that’s tasty and economical.

This cheese spread has a fabulous tangy flavour, thanks to a small amount of dijon mustard and beer. The recipe calls for an ale, and I think you could really use just about anything so long as it’s not a light beer; I used one of my new favourites – Blue Moon. I processed this pretty well in the food processor, but you could easily choose to pulse it for a chunkier consistency if you would prefer.

This is my mom’s recipe and method of making tom yum goong and it is the best! It is simple and fast to make. This is definitely a recipe that you can only balance by taste — tom yum goong should never be bland, but hot and sour.

There’s satay, and then there’s Thai chicken satay! If you’ve never had the real stuff, then you’ll fall in love with the succulent taste of this satay recipe, which has been passed down through my husband’s family (from Thailand) for many generations. Strips of chicken (or beef) are marinated in a special Thai paste, then skewered and grilled on the BBQ or broiled in the oven. It is then served with homemade peanut sauce for the ultimate taste sensation. Even your kids will love it. Chicken Satay also makes a great party food!

This is a coconut-based curry soup. The main ingredients for most versions of curry laksa include tofu puffs, fish sticks, shrimp and cockles. Some vendors may sell chicken laksa which uses chicken instead of shrimp. Cockles are usually very commonly used in laksa and most vendors would add them into laksa unless customers request not to have cockles for hygiene reasons. Laksa is commonly served with a spoonful of sambal chilli paste and is traditionally garnished with Vietnamese coriander, or laksa leaf, which is known in Malay as daunkesum.
