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.

Corned Beef Hash

August 15, 2018/ Lucy Waverman

There are different ways to make corned beef hash. Some prefer it mashed together like a pancake and others as a sauté. This is more the sauté type.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cups diced onion
3 cups diced red potatoes
1 green pepper, diced
2 teaspoons chopped garlic
1 cup water
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 pounds (1 kilogram) corned beef, chopped
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce
Salt to taste

Method

Heat oil in skillet on medium heat. Add onions and potatoes and sauté for 8 to 10 minutes or until the potatoes are golden. Add green pepper and garlic and sauté 2 minutes more. Add water and mustard and stir together. Cover pan and cook for 5 to 10 minutes or until all vegetables are tender. The pan should be dry, but discard any liquid if it isn't.

Stir in beef and sauté 10 minutes more or until everything is combined. Season with hot pepper sauce and salt. Serves 12.
