Robbie's Buttermilk Flapjacks. PEI blueberries and Quebec maple syrup
The terms pancake and flapjack are used interchangeably; the "flap" in the name refers to the sound the cake makes when it lands in the skillet once it's flipped. This recipe comes from Frank Elliott, the cook at Robie's Country Store & Deli. To achieve the flapjacks' signature crisp and browned edges, he cooks them one at a time in a hot, buttered nonstick skillet.

Authetic Cassoulet
THOUGH IT CONTAINS pork and sometimes lamb, Cassoulet is usually defined by the presence of duck or goose confit. Beyond that, disputes abound, about what kind of beans to use, how long to cook
the dish-and how often the cassoulet's top crust should be broken and pushed down. Etienne Rousselot, whose recipe appears here, recommends doing it often enough to keep the beans moist-at least
four times; others counsel breaking the crust hourly.

Mushroom ravioles and Gnocchi with sage butter, starter of Insalata caprese
Description:
A rich but wonderful treat especially with a hearty Italian red wine followed by a good espresso strength coffee and a good shot of the creamed version of Lemoncella.
Hearty seasonal plate . . .
With an Italian flavor!!!
Description:
One of my favorite Italian dishes. Orecchiette, (or-i-cheti) "little ears" in Italian, are small disc-like or ear shaped semolina pastas once made only in Italian homes. If you can't find this
shape, any ridged or tubular small pasta will hold this sauce just fine. But the orecchiette is worth the search. Best served with a hearty Italian red - Masi
