A superfood plate combines salmon, avocado and quinoa in a delicious weeknight meal.

My appreciation for quinoa came late. This was one trend I didn’t pay any attention to initially. Quinoa? Ancient grains? Sounds like barley to me. Who cares! That was a mistake. I finally got around to trying it. Hooked. That mildly nutty flavour is a canvas to play with. It’s healthy. It’s tasty. And you can do all kinds of stuff with it. Salmon with quinoa salad is just one way to use it. Not a bad one though, if I do say so myself.

Rosemary, thyme, parsley, onion and garlic all come together in this warming and deeply satisfying savory navy bean stew.

I love beans. And these savory navy beans are near the top of my list. Rosemary. Thyme. Parsley. Onions and garlic. Shallot. What’s not to love? I also love how the house smells when I cook this. It’s a meal in a bowl. A stew really. Nourishing. Satisfying. Just good.

There's something unbelievably satisfying about braised short ribs. Brown them deeply, add wine, stock and a few aromatics and serve a spectacular dinner.

These Mexican pinto beans are better than you will get in restaurants. Rich, savoury and oh so satisfying, they go with anything and everything.

For me bean dishes are all about cooking as you go. My friends are always asking me for the recipe for my bean dish. It’s never the same. It’s about what I have on hand. What I feel like. What will match the meal. Mexican pinto beans are a stable in my rotation though. Always good. Better than you’ll get at most restaurants.

A simpler but deeply satisfying lobster bisque.

Lobster bisque. This is soup for when you want to impress. Creamy. Rich. Luxurious. It’s everything wrong with French cooking. And it’s everything right with French cooking. Wonderful stuff indeed.

Reverse sear prime rib for perfectly cooked beef every time.

I love a good prime rib roast. You know – deeply brown and crispy on the outside. Perfectly cooked the whole way through. No sign of grey meat.  That’s the dream. Reverse sear prime rib makes that dream a reality.

It’s the exact same as reverse sear steaks but on a bigger scale. A grander scale.  And this is how you do it. This is the Serious Eats prime rib recipe. If you want more details that’s where you’ll find them.
