Swiss Chard, Strawberry and Feta salad

A leafy green member of the beet family, Swiss chard is a more tender alternative to kale and a fantastic substitute for everyday lettuce; its sturdy leaves won’t wilt quickly when dressed with vinaigrette, making it a great candidate for any make-ahead salad.

Kale and Fennel Salad With Lemon-Dill Dressing

This refreshing salad can be made with your favourite type of salad greens, if you prefer to substitute the baby kale; mixed baby greens, arugula and torn red or green leaf lettuce are all great options. Don't like dill? The licorice-like flavour of tarragon complements the fennel.

Charred Shishito Peppers

Serve with beer for the perfect izakaya-style appetizer.

Glazed Pork Belly in Lettuce Cups

Pork belly is easier to prepare than you might think. Like bacon, pork belly will splatter as it sears, so use a splatter screen if you have one. Cool the braised pork belly entirely for easier slicing. If you don’t want to use the lettuce cups, serve these tasty morsels over a simple bed of rice. Sprinkle with sliced green onions.
