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.

Kashi Krispies

August 14, 2018/ Lucy Waverman

Made with whole-grain Kashi cereal, this spin on Rice Krispies squares is a big hit with kids. Some even like it better than the traditional version, on which this recipe is based. You can use any whole-grain cereal but I like the Kashi Seven Grain.

Ingredients

4 cups puffed whole-grain cereal
2 cups miniature marshmallows
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup dried cranberries
½ cup chocolate chips

Method

Butter an 8-by-10-inch (or similar sized) pan and set aside.

Heat the butter in a pot over medium heat. Add miniature marshmallows and stir for 2 minutes or until melted. Add cereal and cranberries and stir until cereal is well coated. Remove from heat and add chocolate chips. Scrape mixture into prepared pan and use a spatula to pack it tightly. Let set until firm. Cut into squares. Serves 8 to 10.
