Macadamia Nut Curried Mayo with Cabbage Slaw
Serves 8
Slaw is a traditional raw favourite. We’ve jazzed it up with a macadamia nut mayonnaise.
Mayonnaise
1 raw (or coddled) farm-fresh egg
3 tsp (15 ml) freshly squeezed lime juice
2 tsp (10 ml) curry powder
1/4 tsp (1 ml) yellow mustard seeds
1/8 tsp (0.5 ml) cayenne
1 cup (250 ml) unrefined macadamia nut oil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Slaw
2 cups (500 ml) thinly shredded Savoy cabbage
2 cups (500 ml) thinly shredded red cabbage
2 large carrots, peeled and shredded
1/2 sweet onion or Spanish onion, halved and very thinly sliced
1/2 cup (125 ml) chopped parsley
1/2 cup (125 ml) chopped raw macadamia nuts
1/4 cup (60 ml) mixed sprouted beans*
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
To make mayonnaise, combine egg, lime juice, curry powder, mustard seeds and cayenne in blender. Whirl until blended. Continuing to whirl, gradually add oil drop by drop, then in a slow steady stream until mixture is creamy. Add generous pinches of salt and pepper to taste. Mayonnaise will keep up to 1 week in the refrigerator.
Combine cabbages, carrots, onion, parsley, macadamia nuts and sprouted beans in large bowl. Drizzle with a few tablespoons (approximately one-quarter) of macadamia nut mayonnaise and gently toss to coat lightly. Add salt and pepper to taste.
*Mixed sprouted beans can be found in the produce section of some grocery and natural health stores.

Worried about raw egg?
Substitute a coddled egg for the raw egg in this recipe. Coddling will warm the yolk and thicken its consistency.
- Immerse egg in warm water to bring to room temperature and prevent cracking.
- Place egg in small bowl or mug; pour boiling water over egg to cover. Let egg stand for exactly 1 minute.
- Run cold water into bowl or mug.
- Let egg stand for 10 minutes before using in recipe.

Tourtière AU Cerf
Tourtière is, for me, the dish that best represents Québec. It can be traced back to the 1600s, and there’s no master recipe; every family has their own twist. Originally, it was made with game birds or game meat, like rabbit, pheasant, or moose; that’s one of the reasons why I prefer it with venison instead of beef or pork. Variation: If you prefer to make single servings, follow our lead at the restaurant, where we make individual tourtières in the form of a dome (pithivier) and fill them with 5 ounces (160 g) of the ground venison mixture. Variation: You can also use a food processor to make the dough. Place the flour, salt, and butter in the food processor and pulse about ten times, until the butter is incorporated—don’t overmix. It should look like wet sand, and a few little pieces of butter here and there is okay. With the motor running, through the feed tube, slowly add ice water until the dough forms a ball—again don’t overmix. Wrap, chill, and roll out as directed above.
Artichauts en Barigoule
My love of artichokes continues with this classic recipe, one of the best ways to eat this interesting, underrated, and strange vegetable. Frozen artichoke hearts are a time-saving substitute, though the flavour and texture of fresh artichokes are, by far, much superior and definitely preferred.
Cervelle de Canut
Cervelle de canut is basically the Boursin of France, an herbed fresh farmer’s cheese spread that’s a speciality of Lyon. The name is kind of weird, as it literally means “silk worker’s brain,” named after nineteenth-century Lyonnaise silk workers, who were called canuts. Sadly, the name reflects the low opinion of the people towards these workers. Happily for us, though, it’s delicious—creamy, fragrant, and fresh at the same time. Cervelle de canut is one of my family’s favourite dishes. It’s a great make-ahead appetizer that you can pop out of the fridge once your guests arrive. Use a full-fat cream cheese for the dish, or it will be too runny and less delicious.
