Rugelach

"Rugelach is a traditional Jewish food that is eaten any time of year, including, but not limited to Shabbat. Despite the fact that it is not fried in oil, some sources indicate that they are traditional on Hanukkah." - Wikipedia

Candy Cane Cookies and Wreaths

The candy cane recipe was published in the STAR WEEKLY newspaper in 1957. Grammie Fryer made them first, then I did them too. The cookies are not hard to make, but they do take time. I love the almond flavour. - Mary LeChasseur

Potato Cheddar Soup

A Vermont tradition for a snowy day. The vegetables are commonly on hand throughout the winter, and the sharp Vermont cheddar cheese zests the soup up nicely.

Curried Green Beans

A perfect curry to serve with fish or chicken. Blanched cauliflower or broccoli florets can be used in this recipe, too.

Trinidadian Mango Curry

From Tiffin's, Port of Spain

Somewhere between a curry and a sweet chutney, this dish may be served with all South Asian, Malay-style, and Middle Eastern meals.

You need half-ripe mangoes here. Since these are what most commonly pass for mangoes in the Western world, they should not be hard to find. Each mango should be hard with yellow or pale orange flesh.

For the curry powder, I like to use Bolst's hot version. Ready-made amchar masala is sold by Caribbean grocers, though you can easily make your own and store it.

Mexican Chicken Soup

I've cooked this recipe for years now. I usually add an extra quart of water for more broth. I've been known to substitute pickled sliced banana peppers for the jalapeño peppers. Found this recipe at the St-Laurent library in Montréal, and later re-discovered this "new" book of Natural Foods at a garage sale in Ottawa.

Double-Chocolate Cookies

Rich in chocolate flavor, these cookies have less than half the fat of crisp chocolate cookies. Cocoa powder contributes a deep chocolate flavor without adding fat. Adding coffee heightens the chocolate flavor.
