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.

Slow-Smoked Brisket

August 13, 2018/ Lucy Waverman

If you don't have a smoker box, line a metal baking pan with aluminum foil, fill with soaked wood chips, cover with another piece foil and punch holes in the top to let smoke escape.

Ingredients

1 6-pound (2.7-kilogram)
brisket
1/2 cup barbecue rub

Method

Preheat oven to 325 F.

Coat brisket with barbecue rub. Place brisket in a roasting pan and slow roast for 3 hours or until reasonably tender. Remove from pan.

Prepare a smoker box with soaked wood chips. Place smoker box at the back of the grill under the cooking grate. Heat barbecue to low (between 250 F and 300 F). Leaving the element on beneath the smoker box, turn off one element so that the brisket can be cooked over indirect heat.

Place brisket on the turned-off side of the grill and leave to smoke for 3 hours or until meat is fork tender and flavoured with smoke. Turn a couple of times. Remove brisket and, while still warm, slice or pull meat and serve with barbecue sauce. Serves 6 to 8.
