This take on coq au vin is an easy way to achieve the flavours of the classic dish without committing to the extensive time and effort it takes. All of the key flavours of coq au vin are present in the marinade and allowed to develop as the chicken sits prior to cooking. The barbeque brings these flavours to a whole new level.

Store-bought barbecue sauce can’t hold a candle to sauce made from scratch. Best of all, you know that no additives are present, and you know exactly what went into it! Homemade barbecue sauce is definitely worth keeping on hand for those hazy summer days when all you want to do is fire up the grill.

Beer Can Chicken became popular a few years ago, and remained so with good reason. The steam created by the beer transforms the chicken into a juicy, delectable delicacy. Cans of non-alcoholic beer and soft drinks work just as well in this recipe, with different flavour results.

Adding an Asian flare to a burger is an easy way to add lots of light crisp flavours without lots of fat. A simple slaw like our Ginger Aoili one comes together in minutes, and is a fun way to get kids helping in the kitchen. To add an extra Asian flair, look for crusty rolls with sesame seeds. Make preparation even easier by purchasing pre-shredded slaws from your local supermarket.
