A Little Bit Extra

Chef Reilly Meehan is known on social media for giving you a behind-the-scenes look at his work as a private chef, sharing dishes that rely on flavour-boosting tricks and special touches. Now, he's helping you make every meal A Little Bit Extra by letting you in on the secrets he relies on to impress his clients, meal after meal.

These dishes lean on popular flavours and ingredients, but always feature a twist that enhances their colour, flavour, or texture, taking them from really good to exceptionally awesome.

Sure, happy hour with Gruyere and Parm Cheese Puffs sounds great, but wait until you plop some pimento cheese dip on top. Everyone loves avocado on a Crab, Grilled Corn, and Butter Lettuce Salad with Avocado, but frying your avo wedges adds a pop of crispy, golden flair. Ever had pasta fresh from your own kitchen? Two Pork Beer Ragu with Papardelle is your chance.

These chapters serve up everything from cocktails including Reilly's Instagram-famous Dill Vesper Martini to sides, salads to soups like Garlicky Bread Soup (because sometimes simple is best), and mains to sweet treats like a Black Sesame Tahini Swirl Cake with Sauteed Cherries.

A Little Bit Extra is the next best option when you don't have a private chef in your kitchen, but want every meal to taste like you do!
