1. Sweet Potatoes Topped with Tofu and Cheese Curds
The beautiful colours of late summer vegetables come together here with the orange of the sweet potato. Pop the cheese curds into the cooked flesh of the sweet potato so that they’re just melting. As a garnish, top with curried tofu and a fresh salad made of cherry tomatoes, dill and lime juice. Finish with sour cream and thinly sliced jalapeño for a vibrant weeknight meal.

2. Roast Chicken with Confit Tomatoes, Carrots and Beets
This whole chicken served at the centre of the table is sure to impress when you’re entertaining. Coat the bird in butter and maple syrup and surround it with beautiful vegetables such as carrots, beets and tomatoes. By roasting the vegetables in the chicken’s cooking juices, they’ll stew and become almost confit. Serve the browned chicken with a green parsley, garlic and lemon sauce. All that’s left to do is to sit down at the table with your guests and enjoy!
3. Beluga Lentils with Chorizo, Red Wine and Smashed Squash
Legumes make for a hearty vegetarian meal in this stew-like dish. Beluga lentils, a variety with small, round, black grains and a nutty taste that goes well with full-bodied sauces, are the pulse of choice here. Simmer them in a broth that is spiced up with diced chorizo and red wine. To balance the flavours, bet on the sweetness of the squash and a dollop of lemony ricotta for the perfect dish to warm you up on the first cool days of autumn.
