Chef and TV personality Michael P. Clive offers up delicious, five-ingredient recipe ideas to help Canadians serve tasty, easy, healthy meals in only five minutes. Whip up simple, healthy meals this fall. Michael P. Clive’s mantra is care-free living mixed with top-notch cuisine. "Canadians are looking for healthy, great tasting, quick-serve meals for their families," says Clive, who has worked in some of Ontario's finest restaurants, as well as a host of his own cooking show. "With a dash of creativity, a pinch of culinary know-how, and a can opener, anyone can create a tasty, satisfying dish in just five minutes."

Clive teamed with Clover Leaf to create a variety of recipes based on the company’s tuna and salmon products. "Tuna and salmon are already staples in most Canadian pantries," says Clive. "It's time to take these convenient and economical foods to new culinary heights. Let's make mealtime more manageable and turn that regular tuna melt into something exciting!"
