I love to bake and have always longed to be one of those bakers who can produce perfect aesthetically magnificent creations. This is a bit strange because in other ways I’m not exactly what you would call a perfectionist. This desire for bakin (read full article)
I over bought at the farmers market a few weeks back. Does that ever happen to you? I find it so hard to control my purchases at this time of the year, it seems I have to constantly remind myself that with work and everything else I just don’t (read full article)
I love gooseberries. It seems like only two years ago they were a rarity in Vancouver. I remember seeing tiny little baskets of them, with their fragile paper leaves priced outrageously and wondering if they would ever become economical enough to re (read full article)
The list of seasonal fruits and vegetables that are highly anticipated and enthusiastically discussed in our household are endless. We spend many an hour discussing what we are excited to make with certain ingredients throughout the year that when t (read full article)
The title of this post should be the BEST chocolate chip cookies in the world, because these are as close to perfection as any one cookie could be. I have to warn you though, they are definitely not the sort of cookie with staying power and they hav (read full article)
I was really looking forward to making a Galette Des Rois this year. But as things go, I was so over fed with sweets and other rich holiday foods that when it actually came around to making one I no longer had it in me. For those of you not famili (read full article)
I’ve been generally dissatisfied with the state of manufactured granola bars for some time now – I can’t say there is a single brand on the market that lives up to my expectations. While there are a few that are not too offensive, (read full article)
Sometimes you really need a little dessert and just haven’t planned for it. You open your fridge desperately wishing you would find a bowl full of chocolate mousse or that last slice of left over apple pie you shoved all the way to the back in (read full article)
I don’t know what’s going on this year with those small mandarin oranges I love so much. They continue to disappointed me. I’m not talking about your garden-variety mandarin either. You know those mini ones that are the size of lar (read full article)
There are certain things that are just so easy to make and I don’t make them often enough. What I love most about poached pears is that you can sort of improvise with what you have on hand, there are so many flavor combinations that would make (read full article)
Several weeks ago I bought a huge butternut squash and because I’m somewhat indecisive, it has been sitting on my counter untouched ever since. I found myself staring at it everyday, uninspired by the thought of making soup or roasting it as is (read full article)
