Homemade mayo, much like hollandaise sauce, takes a little practice to get the knack. It’s like learning to ride a bicycle—once you’ve mas­tered the technique, it’ll be with you for life. Be sure to come prepared, armed with a whisk and some extra patience. It’s really all about whisking continuously as you slowly stream the oil into the egg yolks, little by little, letting the yolks take in every drop of oil. Slow and steady wins the race—this exquisite, delec­table, over-the-top-awesome race.

Serve this icy granita-like dessert with warm Rhubarb Turnovers, or all on its own as a refreshingly tart, light summer dessert.

This has the authentic taste of that old-fashioned ripple of fudge. You can swirl it through just about any ice cream you like. Try it in old-fashioned Tin Roof Ice Cream with chocolate-covered peanuts.

These easy-to-make peanuts will make you feel like a chocolatier assembling a world-class candy bar. If you're anything like me, you can't keep chocolate bars around the house without breaking off a hunk every time you pass by, so by all means double the recipe if you want, just to make sure there's enough for folding into the ice cream later on.

Breakfast loaves are so great for grabbing on-the-go, and this deliciously sweet loaf is a firm favourite of mine in the morning. ‘Bread’ just got very interesting!

Puff pastry and jarred marinated artichokes make quick work of this impressive starter.

Give pot pie a spring makeover with creamy new potatoes, sweet peas, and sausage bathed in a light, lemony sauce.

Spread it on toast, stir into pasta, or slather on grilled meats for the springiest meal ever.

This modern take on the classic B.L.T. uses smoky-sweet marinated tempeh as a protein-packed vegetarian substitute for bacon.

Protein-packed, fermented tempeh is thinly sliced and infused with a marinade of soy sauce, smoked paprika, and rich maple syrup to mimic the smoky-sweet flavor of the breakfast staple in this easy vegetarian recipe. Serve it with eggs for breakfast, add it to stir-fry, or layer it onto a veggie “B.L.T.”

Bright and refreshing green goddess dressing perks up the grains in this delicious bowl that's filled to the brim with all the green veggies.

No need to struggle slicing unruly butternut squash. Roast it whole first, then tear or cut it into portions and sear in a big skillet to caramelize.

Herb butter—made with whatever herbs you have sitting around—is an excellent landing pad for a perfectly fried egg. Thinly sliced radishes add a refreshingly crisp bite.

A big soup spoon is the way to go for oil basting.
