|

2 min

At Cook it, we understand the importance of traditional family recipes that evoke memories of Mom’s or Grandma’s kitchen. We’re passionate about exploring new flavours and techniques and introducing new ingredients to enrich the culinary experience. In this spirit, we’ve embarked on reinventing some beloved classic recipes. In this article, we invite you to discover five exceptional creations, each a fusion of tradition and innovation, all presented with our Cook it touches!

Chicken Pot Pie Gnocchi

Let’s begin this culinary journey with our Chicken Pot Pie Gnocchi dish. This recipe combines the tenderness of Italian gnocchi with the sophistication of a vol-au-vent chicken sauce. Tender chicken pieces, creamy mushrooms, and gnocchi harmoniously blend in a velvety sauce, creating a comforting and refined dish.

Vegetarian Lentil Shepherd’s Pie

Shepherd’s Pie is a quintessential Quebec dish, but our vegetarian lentil version brings a new twist to this classic. Lentils, rich in protein and flavor, replace the traditional minced meat, while a golden corn mash covers it all. A contemporary interpretation that maintains the warmth and simplicity of the original dish.

Meat Pie Stromboli

Meat pie is a culinary treasure of Quebec, and we decided to give it a new life in the form of an Italian stromboli. Our Meat Pie Stromboli combines minced pork, potatoes, and traditional spices with a soft, golden crust. It’s a fusion of two traditions that will awaken your taste buds.

Butternut Squash Mac & Cheese

Mac and cheese is a comforting classic, but we’re adding an autumnal twist by incorporating the sweetness of butternut squash. Our Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese blends creamy pasta, melted cheese, and roasted squash for a warm and enveloping taste experience.

Vegetable Poutine Sheet Pan

Our Vegetable Sheet Pan is a light and vegetarian reinterpretation of the Quebec classic. Does poutine come from Warwick or Drummondville? We’ll let you decide! Golden fries, melting cheese curds, and brown gravy paired with vegetables make this poutine a gourmet and balanced option – a deliciously creative way to revisit a local favourite.
