Main Dishes
Fiddleheads and Quiche

Southern Italian Peasant-Style Roast Chicken and Potatoes
A simple Italian dinner of spinach egg drop soup, roast chicken and poached pears prepared by Pietro and Tina Fanzo in their Mono kitchen.
What’s Cookin’s Famous Asparagus Lasagna
In a typical year in southern Ontario, asparagus spears will begin poking through the soil in early May. The season usually lasts about six weeks.
Step by Step Potato Gnocchi
Cook the potatoes in their skins, then peel afterwards. This produces a “drier” potato and increases the fluffiness of the gnocchi.
Hoisin-Black Bean Flank Steak
Remember, the amounts given here are guidelines. Taste the marinade as you make it and adjust the ingredients until you get a balance of flavours that pleases you.
