I used the Japanese Kuri squash which is a fiery red colour. It roasts well. You can use any drier variety of squash for this curry.

Shortbread Cookies

The best Scottish shortbread handed down through my family. Crumbly, sweet and buttery.

Shrimp and feta with orzo

This dish has a salty, savoury sauce with a little bit of a kick. If you don't want the spice of the jalapenos, leave it out, and finely diced onion can be used instead of the shallots.

Devilled Deep Fried Eggs

This is the one hors d’oeuvre that I keep being asked for time and time again. It’s crunchy, creamy, spicy and hits all the high spots.

Squash Soup with Wild Mushrooms

Mushrooms and squash have a real affinity and this soup proves it. I like to use oyster mushrooms, but chanterelles, which I found at the supermarket this week, provide the best flavour.

Apple pie with cheddar crust

Pork with White Beans and Bitter Greens

Toasted Hazelnut And Chocolate Chunk Cookies

August 08, 2018/ Lucy Waverman

Ingredients

¼ recipe sugar cookie dough
¼ cup chopped bittersweet chocolate
¼ cup chopped toasted hazelnuts

Method

Gently work chocolate and hazelnuts into cookie dough until just combined.

Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to between ½- and ¼-inch thick. Use a knife and a ruler to cut dough into pieces about 1½-inch square. Place cookies about 1 inch apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill for 20 minutes or until firm.

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Bake cookies, one baking sheet at a time, for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden at edges.

Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a rack to cool fully. Makes about 24 cookies.
