What is triple-tested? Our Food Team creates, develops and tests every recipe at least three times (sometimes more!) to make sure it’s delicious and foolproof. We also make sure it’s easy to follow and shop for. Our professional testers weigh all the ingredients for nutritional analysis, verify how long it takes to prep and cook each recipe and check if it can be made ahead. We re-taste and adjust as needed. To confirm results in different kitchens, recipes are also tested at home — by us or by you. Sign up to be a home tester: testing@chatelaine.com

The vegetarian barbecue: Three recipes

When you’re a renter in Toronto, outdoor space comes at a premium. My husband and I were lucky enough to snag an apartment with a patio and a backyard at a not-insane price — we will never move again — and this means that our place is now barbecue central. We actually grilled outside in February last year, because the winter was so mild. This year we put it off until April, but now that it’s officially warmed up we’ll be having regular grilling parties with friends.
