food recipe
When asked for her favourite dessert recipe, President's Choice executive chef, Dana Speers pointed to a traditional British treat with a classic Canadian touch.
“I love this recipe because it brings
together two of my favourite
COMFORT-FOOD CUISINES.”
DANA SPEERS, President's Choice Executive Chef
Directions
01 Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease 13" x 9" (3 L) glass baking dish with 2 tbsp (25 ml) butter.
02 Discard end slices of loaf. Spread 1/2 cup (125 ml) butter evenly over one side of each bread
slice. Arrange six of the bread slices, buttered side up, in a single layer on the bottom of prepared dish. Cut a seventh slice in half and wedge in among other slices to fill the bottom of the dish; sprinkle half of the apricots evenly over the top. Repeat with remaining seven bread slices and apricots for a second layer; set aside.
03 Combine milk, cream and salt in a large saucepan. Using the tip of a sharp knife, scrape vanilla seeds
into pan; add seedless vanilla bean pods. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring often. Once boiling, remove from heat. Whisk together eggs and sugar in large bowl for about 1 minute or until pale yellow. Gradually whisk in 1 cup (250 ml) of the hot milk mixture until combined. Slowly whisk in remaining milk mixture until fully com-bined. Pour custard through fine sieve into large bowl; discard vanilla bean pods.
04 Pour strained custard over the top of the bread. Using a spatula, gently press down on bread slices
so they soak up custard. Place dish in a large roasting pan; add enough warm water to pan to come halfway up the sides of the baking dish.
05 Bake in centre of oven for 40 to 45 minutes, pressing bread down gently with spatula at half-
way point, or until puffed and set around edges with a slight jiggle in centre. Transfer pudding in water bath to rack to cool.
06 Meanwhile, heat jam with 2 tbsp (25 ml) water in small saucepan over low heat for 3 minutes,
stirring occasionally, or until liquefied. Carefully remove pudding from water bath; brush surface with warmed jam. Serve hot or at room temperature.

GRILLthe PERFECT
home & lifestyle
Knowledge is power when it comes to purchasing your next grill. Here are some tips and questions to ask that will help equip you with the information needed to make a savvy purchase.
LOOKS can beDECEIVINGThe most important aspect of any grill is the performance. Performance is a function of careful design and features working together as a cooking system. Remember that performance is not readily visible, and can be masked by cosmetic features. Always ask about the grills cooking system and look inside to know what it offers. One feature to keep an eye out for is heavy duty cooking grids in either cast iron or stainless steel. The heavier the grids the better the heat retention and flavour results. Cast iron is the best material for heat retention. Also, heavy duty cooking grids combined with the right burners will give you full surface searing, instead of a searing zone. The Broil King’s heavy duty cast iron and their 9 mm thick stainless steel rods are the heaviest available and provide superior heat retention that delivers searing heat across the entire surface.
GAS orCHARCOAL?One of the most common grilling debates is gas or charcoal. A common misunderstanding is that barbecue flavour comes from the charcoal, when in fact the great flavour associated with grilling comes from fats and juices dripping onto a hot surface. When food juices hit a hot surface they vapourize and permeate the food with that unmistakable barbecue flavour. Charcoal is tasteless and odorless, but it does a great job of vapourizing the juices of food being cooked. On a gas grill you want to look for a heat medium that covers the entire cook box so that it will capture and vapourize all of the food juices. Grills with heat tents or gaps in the vapourizer will allow food juices to drip through to the grease tray, meaning lost flavour. m

HEAT RETENTION andCONTROLThe heart or engine of a grill is the burner system. Burners are typically subject to much abuse; high temperatures, corrosive food acids and salts; rapid temperature changes and condensation. You want to look for a thick burner with flame ports on the side for optimal heat distribution (two sources of flame) and to reduce the risk of the ports getting clogged with food drippings. Most grills offer single tube burners. This burner design could result in more heat at the back vs. the front due to the flow of gas being concentrated at the back of the burner. There are burners with a tube in tube or dual tube design that distribute the flow of gas evenly front to back resulting in more even heat distribution.
