Get inspired by our Fall harvest collection of recipes from the field and the garden to get you started.
1. Butternut Squash soup with Brown Mustard Seeds & Braised Brussels Sprouts
Butternut squash soup is the perfect comfort soup for those cold winter days. 
2. Prairie Seed Bread
This bread is the best served warm but is also very good toasted.
3. Chickpea Stew With Cauliflower & Spinach In A Mustard Sauce
Mustard seed, when popped in hot oil, release a sweet and nutty flavor akin to popcorn. But when ground and turned into a paste with hot water, the same seeds breathe pungent fire. Include the two techniques in the same recipe, and watch a brilliant balance of tastes, textures and colors come alive in every mouthful. Serve a bowl of this stew with crusty-warm slices of baguette or even steamed basmati rice for a quick weekday fare.
4. Cheddar, Chive & Mustard Spelt Biscuits
Light and cheesy savoury biscuits, with pops of bright mustard flavour, these are wonderful when spread with lashings of butter. Serve alongside bowls of soup or stew for a comforting meal. If so inclined, do make a double batch, as they freeze remarkably well.
5. Toasted Barley & Mustard Risotto With Pale Ale & Bacon Nuggets
Few ingredients say “Canada” like mustard, barley, maple syrup and smoky, thick sliced bacon. It’s the sort of dish that can be kept warm for service but be careful, it’s awfully easy to snack on.
6. Oven Roasted Root Vegetables
Roasted beets, carrots, parsnips, rutabaga and onion are combine with a delicious maple drizzle for a comforting side dish to serve during cooler months.
7. Multigrain Carrot, Date & Mustard Muffins
Hearty and nutritious, these muffins make a quick grab-and-go breakfast or afternoon snack. Studded with nuts and yellow mustard seed for crunch, the muffins also have a delicious sweetness from the carrots and dates, and the benefit of being packed with whole grains. These muffins are lovely on their own, or with a good cup of coffee, but lightly spread with butter or cream cheese they are magnificent. The recipe makes a large batch, but the muffins freeze well and can be enjoyed when you’re on the go.
8. Apple Crisp with Mustard Streusel
Crisps are a terrific way to showcase seasonal fruits. Use the fruit of your choice to create your family favourite!
