Directions
01
In medium bowl, whisk yogurt, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, chives, garlic, and 1/4 tsp (1 mL) black pepper; set aside.
02
Preheat oven to 425 F (220 C).
03
In large bowl, toss sweet potato with avocado oil, sea salt, and 1/4 tsp (1 mL) black pepper and spread evenly on large parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Place in preheated oven on middle rack and roast until squash is fork tender, about 30 minutes, stirring halfway through. Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature.
04
When sweet potato has cooled, add diced red bell pepper and dressing, and mix well. This can be stored in the fridge overnight to assemble wraps the next day.
05
To assemble wraps, lay out tortillas on counter. Divide spinach among wraps, placing it on the bottom third of each tortilla. Top spinach with evenly divided avocado and then sweet potato salad mix. Fold in tortilla’s two sides and then roll up from the bottom, folding and tucking in the two sides as you tightly wrap the tortilla to the end. Wrap each individually in parchment paper or place in resealable container small enough to keep wraps rolled up.

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.
