Just because we're always working ahead (i.e. Christmas cookies in August!) doesn't mean we don't take full advantage of the best seasonal fruits and veg.

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

One of our favourite pages in the magazine to work on is Loose Ends. Every month we come up with ways to use any extra ingredients we call for in recipes

Miranda was testing a scallop recipe today. It's got this luscious spicy-sweet sauce, yum. Scallops are caught in-shell and for the most part are shucked at sea.
