Gourmet Poutine Burger – as featured on the Marc & Mandy Show

As seen on the Marc & Mandy Show, this indulgent burger is what long weekend dreams are made of—layers of juicy beef, crispy homemade fries, cheese curds, rich gravy, and a hint of Black Truffle Olive Oil. It’s a Canadian classic turned gourmet, and yes—you’ll need a fork and knife for this one!

Grilled Peach & Prosciutto Pizza

Forget tomatoes… This grilled pie combines savory and sweet with caramelized peaches, oozing mozzarella, salty prosciutto, and fragrant basil. All grilled together on your backyard BBQ, so you can skip turning on the oven

Forget the oven! The easiest way to cook pizza at home is on your BBQ. Grilled pizza is a backyard staple for us in the summer time (or really all year round) not just so we don’t heat up the house by turning on the oven, but because most ovens can only reach a temperature of around 450°F, where are your BBQ can get closer to 600°F. While this isn’t quite as hot as a typical pizza oven, it’s the next best thing.

Chipotle & Dark Chocolate Chili

The amazing complexity and richness of Olive the Best's Dark Chocolate Balsamic blended with the smokey flavour of all natural Chipotle Olive oil give this chili an amazing flavour that can't be beat.

Lychee Lime Shrimp Salad

The juicy lychee and zesty lime perfectly complement the succulent shrimp, creating a light and flavorful dish that's ideal for a healthy lunch or dinner.

Shakshuka with Crumbled Feta & Toasted Sourdough

We have it marked it as a vegetarian, gluten-free dish if you skip the recommended sourdough as a side, of course. 

Warm Kale Salad with Shallots & BaconIndulge in the harmonious blend of flavours with a Kale Shallot Bacon Salad, a dish that marries the earthy tones of fresh, crisp kale with the sweet sharpness of shallots and the savoury depth of perfectly crisped bacon. The salad is elevated to a new level of culinary delight with a generous drizzle of Pomegranate White Balsamic, introducing a fruity tang that cuts through the richness, while a finishing touch of Garlic Olive Oil adds a subtle warmth and complexity.

Roasted Delicata Squash Salad with Apricot & Milanese Gremolata VinaigretteThis salad is a perfect way to enjoy the sweet and nutty flavour of Delicata squash, a winter squash that does not need to be peeled. The squash is roasted with salt, pepper, and olive oil until tender and caramelized, then tossed with baby spinach and arugula, apple, dried apricots, cranberries, toasted Styrian pumpkin seeds, and creamy chevre cheese. The salad is then drizzled with a tangy and aromatic vinaigrette made with Milanese Gremolata olive oil, apricot white balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper. The Gremolata oil adds a burst of freshness and complexity, with notes of lemon, garlic and parsley. This salad is a delicious and nutritious side dish that can be served warm or cold, and pairs well with roasted chicken, pork, or fish.
Champagne Balsamic Roasted VegetablesI love these Balsamic Roasted Vegetables and cook them often. They are a nutritious and easy way to prepare veggies for the week. *Note: when time restricted I suggest skipping potatoes and yams as they can take 30-45 minutes. (all times for each vegetable are given in the recipe)

Double Smash Burger with Balsamic Onion Jam – Terrapin RidgeThese thin smashed burgers are all about the deep brown crust they develop while cooking quickly over high heat. Since these burgers are cooked on an ungreased griddle (or skillet), you will want ground beef with a hefty fat to meat ratio so that the patties don’t stick and stay moist and juicy. You'll want to slather on Terrapin Ridge Farms’ tangy Balsamic Onion Jam adds a touch of sweetness to these deeply savoury burgers! Author: Julia Heffelfinger
Pumpkin – Ginger SoupYou can do a lot more with pumpkin than making a jack-o'-lantern... and we all should. Including pumpkin in your diet has so many benefits. It helps improve your vision, lowers cancer risk, can give you an immunity boost (great time as cold season comes) and it actually helps you feel fuller longer. Rich in potassium, pumpkins are a heart healthy food because they help regulate your blood pressure, lowering risk for heart attack and stroke. There's also a good dose of vitamin C, fiber and antioxidants all good for the heart.
Butternut Squash Soup with Pumpkin Seed Oil DrizzleAhh, the autumn has arrived. With Canadian Thanksgiving happening in October as the squash are in season it's a perfect time for inspiration. Try a drizzle of Styrian Pumpkin Seed Oil as the perfect compliment before serving.
Healthier Tuna SaladI've always loved tuna salad but I gravitate towards the mayo which is higher in fat. It's surprising how much more flavourful this is with Olive the Best Lemon Olive Oil (or try Persian Lime Oil). If you'd like it little creamy, like I do add a couple tablespoons of plain Greek yogurt.
Leek & Potato SoupReady in 30 minutes this soup can make a hardy meal especially as we get into colder days. In this recipe we use the dark greensIf you like a higher protein version try using the white beans instead.
Thai Sesame Lemongrass Mint SlawCombine the tangy flavour of our Lemongrass Mint White Balsamic with Persian Lime Oil and Sesame oil and you have a Thai flavour explosion that's hard to beat. This will change your opinion of coleslaw- guaranteed!
Key Lime Balsamic Miso Noodle BowlThis versatile, flavour-packed dressing makes everything taste better. Use in stir fries, over raw or roasted veggies, in salads, over noodles as we've done in this recipe or with seafood or on sandwiches.
Tomato Cucumber SaladNothing feels like summer as much as a freshly harvested tomatoes and cucumbers cut up up into a cool, refreshing flavourful salad.
Chicken FlautasThis is a great way to use up leftover chicken. Try out these crispy flautas made from rolled tortillas filled with juicy chicken and topped with salsa (or try some pico de gallo), sour cream (or Greek yogurt), and cheese. In this recipe we fry then bake but you can also just fry, bake, or air fry! Fun, easy to make and much tastier than buying the small frozen taquitos - by far.
Pulled Chicken SandwichesEveryone has had a version of pulled pork. Why not try this recipe using chicken? The flavours of the sweet, golden pineapple with the heat of the serrano honey balsamic and the baklouti chilli olive oil packs a *pow* flavour that is unforgettable. Try this at your next gathering.
