Shumai Dim Sum Dumplings
Shumai are Chinese steamed dumplings traditionally stuffed with pork and shrimp. In this version, you can stuff them with ground chicken, pork, shrimp, tofu or a combination. The filling is used raw, making these super easy to fill.

Dukka Spice Blend
Dukka is an Egyptian spice blend consisting of a mixture of herbs, nuts, and spices. It is typically used as a dip with bread or fresh vegetables. You can buy it pre-made, but I prefer to make my own and store it in my freezer and use it when I need it. If you want to make it nut-free, replace the hazelnuts with pumpkin or sunflower seeds. I like to place it heap of it on a plate or bowl, pour oil over it and use it as a bread dip, people love it! Don’t skip out on toasting the nuts and spices, it makes all the difference.

Jo Notkin’s Mini Baked Cinnamon Sugar Apple Cider Doughnuts
For this recipe, you will need a mini-doughnut baking pan, which can be ordered online or purchased at any baking supply store. A full sized doughnut pan can work too but make time will be longer and it will make less doughnuts.

Sweet and Sour Pickled Cucumbers
I make these cucumbers almost every week and serve them alongside any well-seasoned meat or fish. They are refreshing and delicious. The vinegary liquid that comes off of them pairs so well with hot food.

Skillet Buttermilk Cornbread
This recipe needs no formal introduction because it will speak for itself! My very good friend Lisa makes this for me on request every time I come for dinner. It is one of my favourite recipes and always pleases the crowd. She makes it in a square pyrex but I have been making it in a preheated, generously buttered cast iron skillet. Thank you Lisa!

Babka Sufganiyot
This is what you get when two culinary cultures collide: sufganiyot with challah dough and Italian Nutella bombolini. A new Hanukkah tradition!
