BBQ

Let's break out all of summer's best hits for the first long weekend of the season.

This July 1, celebrate Canada's bounty with a delicious meal featuring menu favourites from across the country.

This jammy cobbler, with a lemony biscuit topper, delivers pie vibes in a fraction of the time. Two caveats: Be sure to let the cherry juices boil before taking the cobbler out of the oven; this ensures a thickened filling. Then, allow to fully cool before serving so the flavours can settle and the filling can set.

The herby, lemony flavour of za’atar pairs perfectly with the tang of dill pickles and the char of a good flatbread crust in this recipe from cookbook author Christine Flynn. (But no one's telling if you use store-bought pizza dough!)

Grab a few extra deck chairs, get the grill going, and enjoy some long-weekend barbecuing (at it's finest!).
