lunch

Italian sausage lends a touch of heat to traditional bread stuffing.

Store-bought mayo does the heavy lifting in this creamy condiment recipe, which is a perfect pairing for burgers.

The best thing about this power lunch is that it’s a quick and easy recipe that’s packed with flavour and has a crunchy texture. The miso bagna càuda is creamy and can be enjoyed cold or at room temperature. Add your favourite protein to make this a balanced meal. —Suzanne Barr

Big, creamy beans marinated in fresh herbs, garlic and lemon juice are a simple go-to for your weekly meal plan. Make this recipe in larger batches at the start of the week to ensure you don’t run out—the flavour improves over time. —Suzanne Barr

I love a good open-faced sandwich for lunch or dinner, and this mushroom tartine is by far one of my favourites. It’s simple to make, but the flavour of all the mushrooms together is so complex and rich. Adding the creamy ricotta makes it a great appetizer as well—double or triple the recipe and cut into finger-food portions.—Diala Canelo
