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

The fifth taste, umami, has much to do with glutamate, an amino acid found in such foods as prosciutto, soy sauce and a number of cheeses. Umami can show up in your glass, too (fermentation is glutamate’s old friend).

Pork with White Beans and Bitter Greens

When this recipe originally ran in The Globe and Mail, I received a lovely note from reader Barbara Zuchowicz. This dish reminded her of a wonderful meal she had in Italy: "It brought back joyful memories of a trip to Italy my late husband, an exceptional cook, and I took a number of years ago.

Mediterranean sea bass with brown butter caper sauce

July 31, 2018/ Lucy Waverman

Serves: 4

INGREDIENTS

¼ cup butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 fillets Mediterranean sea bass
¼ cup water
1 tablespoon chopped capers
1 tablespoon grated lemon rind
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley

METHOD

Heat butter and vegetable oil over medium heat in a large skillet. When butter foams, add fillets and cook skin-side down until golden, about 3 minutes. Turn over and cook second side for 2 minutes.

Place fillets, flesh-side up on plate. The remaining butter in the pan should be a nut brown colour and smell nutty. Lower the heat and whisk in water and mixture should emulsify. Whisk in capers, lemon rind, lemon juice and parsley. Pour over fish before serving.
