Literally translated, Crème Brûlée means Burnt Cream, but the way the French say it is much more romantic. A rich, creamy vanilla custard topped with a layer of hard caramel, that is literally, scorched sugar. What better way to bring romance to the table than to break out the blow torch and burn a little sugar?!

Made with beets, cabbage, onions and three meats including a smokey kielbasa sausage, salt pork and a nice shank of beef, a good Russian Borscht is winter comfort food that is as rich in aroma and falvour as it is in colour. A soup from my eastern bloc roots.

How to warm up on a cold winter night, just wrap yourself around a big pot of Texas-Style Chili. Rather than using ground meat and sauteing, we use a blade roast and slowly braise it until it's pull-apart tender for big, beefy texture and big chili flavour.

Nothing like a belly full of warm, spicy Double Berry French Toast in the morning. In my days as an innkeeper in at the Dragonfly Inn, this was a guest favorite. Topped with small, sweet Nova Scotia strawberries and smothered in warm raspberry-maple syrup. Breakfast, it's the most important meal of the day.

Smooth, dark and super rich, this Chocolate Espresso Truffle Cake is a slab of pure chocolate heaven. It's also flourless so there's no pesky carbohydrates, and it's gluten free. Just a few simple ingredients you probably already have: butter, sugar, chocolate, espresso and eggs, it's temptation in it's purest form. You've been warned.
