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

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.

Ingredients

6 ounces (175 grams) dark chocolate, chopped
1 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup raspberry preserves

Place chocolate and butter in a heavy pot over low heat and stir until melted. Remove pan from heat and stir in eggs and vanilla.

Combine sugar, salt and flour and stir into chocolate mixture. Scrape half of batter into prepared pan and freeze for 30 minutes or until firm. Spread a thin layer of preserves on top of frozen batter and cover with remaining batter. Freeze 20 minutes longer.

Preheat oven to 350F.

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until brownies are set but still slightly moist in the middle. Cool on a rack.
