  • Squash and Halloumi Salad Recipe

    By Dan Clapson Verified| Elle Gourmet@ The sweetness of roasted butternut and acorn squashes meets salty, savoury halloumi. This roasted squash and halloumi salad is the perfect balance of textures and flavours. Tender, caramelized acorn and butternut squashes paired with golden pan-fried halloumi, crisp apples and toasted pumpkin seeds, all tossed in a tangy, homemade apple cider vinaigrette. A touch of maple syrup in the vinaigrette ties everything together, creating a dish that’s as satisfying as it is simple.

  • Watermelon Gin Cocktail Recipe

    By Dan Clapson Verified, Twyla Campbell Verified| Elle Gourmet@ In their book Prairie: Seasonal, Farm-Fresh Recipes Celebrating the Canadian Prairies, food journalists Dan Clapson and Twyla Campbell share recipes sourced from notable chefs in the Prairie provinces – as well as a few of their own favourites. This recipe is Campbell’s, and was inspired by a Harry Styles song – you can probably guess which one. “’Watermelon Sugar’ is my 2020–2023 song because I pretty much listened to Harry Styles non-stop,” Campbell shares.
