Rustic Italian loaf from Canadian living breads and pizzas

This has a very wet dough and due to this I use the bread machine on the dough cycle, stopping the cycle just before it kneads the dough down. After this it’s fairly easy (use lots of flour on work surface)... read more >

a fast, warming bowl of soup : page 194

This is an outline for a warming soup that can be adapted as to what you have on hand. I’ve done many versions as written and have also added aromatics such as ginger, sesame oil, garlic, or curry paste, or by switching out the veg with ripe tomatoes or shaved fennel, beets etc. See page 196 for a full list of possible adaptations.

A clear savoury broth : page 181

I use these directions often, I use a 3-4 lb chicken and some additional wings as stated. I put chicken in breast side up and remove after approx 1 hr. I sometimes take breast meat off a bit early to avoid over cooking it. I do salt lightly as I go with this, but with restraint so the resulting stock is lightly seasoned. Very versatile and used in a variety of soups and other dishes.

Very easy and delicious fish cakes. Started with the canned salmon variation with dill and parsley from the garden. Made quite a few of the variations since then, all delicious.
