Let's face it: having to eat the same boring chicken or pork chops every week makes dinnertime a dull affair. Toronto restaurateur and musician Roger Mooking transforms ho-hum into yum-yum in this series, as the executive chef reveals his secrets for spicing up familiar evening meals. Whether it's using coriander to jazz up a meatloaf or adding fresh ginger to perk up a chicken breast, Mooking's flavorful recipes usually require only one additional ingredient to breathe new life into those old suppertime standbys.
