Greek Village Salad
The Greek name for this rustic chunky chop salad is horiatiki. It makes a delicious side for any grilled meat — or makes for a satisfying meal all on its own. Serves 4 to 6.

Green Shakshuka
This healthy green spin on the traditional North African dish combines power greens and brussel sprouts to create an easy-to-make, one-pan dish. Versatile and suitable for either breakfast, lunch or dinner, it’s a hearty meal that both packs a nutritious punch and serves up tasty goodness. Serves 2 to 4.

Butternut Squash Mousse
While an ideal addition to a fall or winter family meal or group potluck, we adore this silky mousse any time of year. Made with seasonal fresh butternut squash, it’s not only heavenly to eat but also beautiful to look at — plated with white chocolate namelaka, coffee chocolate streusel and milk chocolate crémeux kisses. Serves 6.
