Japanese Squash Curry
Japanese Squash Curry

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
Shortbread Cookies

The best Scottish shortbread handed down through my family. Crumbly, sweet and buttery.

Shrimp and feta with orzo
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
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
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
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.

Cherry Galettes

August 13, 2018/ Lucy Waverman

Full of real cherry flavour, these tarts are my new favourite summer treat. Pitting cherries is a hassle but absolutely worth the effort. The tarts do not freeze well but the pastry does.

Green Bean and Cherry Tomato Salad

August 13, 2018/ Lucy Waverman

This salad is easy to make and provides an excellent way to use this season's fresh, local green beans.

Dried Cherry Muffins

August 08, 2018/ Lucy Waverman

This is an outstanding grown-up muffin. The beer gives it a moist and cakey crumb, and you cannot taste it. Enhance it with plump cherries or cranberries and crunchy almonds. They will keep moist for two days.

Slow-Roasted Duck Breasts with Spiced Cherries and Three Pea Compote

August 06, 2018/ Lucy Waverman
Slow-Roasted Duck Breasts with Spiced Cherries and Three Pea Compote

Duck, cherries and peas have a natural affinity for one another. I find that four breasts for six people is plenty, but you could use more for larger appetites.

Chocolate cherry tartlets

This pastry is very rich but the lime zest cuts the richness and works well with the cherry flavour.

Cherry crisp

Cherry crisp

If you’d like, you can substitute cherries for gooseberries, which reach their peak ripeness in July. For the best results, top and tail them and increase the granulated sugar to 1/2 cup if they are very sour.

Cherry Almond Strudel

Sour cherries are easy to pit. Just squeeze the pits out with your fingers. If you use frozen, pitted cherries, drain them well after defrosting.
