Lucy Waverman’s Pear Tatin Cake
OMG. It’s been so long since I wrote a blog post that I’ve almost forgotten how to do it. All these buttons and choices and photo sizes that need to be dealt with. No wonder it’s been so long! Well, sorry. Life gets in the way, sometimes. And even with a penchant for quiet evenings...
Today’s Special: June 26, 2012
Today’s Special: Mille crepe cake, Lady M Confections, New York You might have heard about this cake before. It makes many appearances on television, on the Web, and in print as a “best” thing to eat or “must try” in New York, and oh-so-ever rightly so. You cannot dismiss a dessert that’s built on...
Chocolate Guinness Cake
Chocolate cake is tough to pull off. Too dry is never a good thing and is too easily achieved when delving into the homemade cocoa gateau realm. When it’s good though, it’s oh so good. So with my Libra husband’s birthday upon us, I figured no cake could be more man pleasing than one that...
Clippings: October 13, 2011
The internet is a great source for all things foodie, and we’re constantly bookmarking, starring, and emailing intriguing recipes, food porn, and inspiration. Here’s a selection of clippings we think are worth checking out. Um. Braised french onion chicken with gruyere. Enough said. It’s as good a time as any to start using up...
Banana “Ice Cream”
I think I have excellent willpower. I can pass the candy dishes at work without a second look, turn my nose up at cupcake shops and let the fuss over macarons be just that, a fuss. I’m even fairly (read: a little) successful at rationing any baking I do to a daily treat by putting...
Chocolate-Fig Oatmeal Bars
A good bar cookie can sometimes run circles around a regular old cookie, especially if you’re like me and enjoy thick, soft cookie middles. A pan of bar cookies can be looked upon as a pan of cookie middles for the most part. The edges, of course, get that crisp edge of a regular cookie,...
Blueberry-Nectarine Buttermilk Cake
When I returned to Vancouver after a quick trip back to Edmonton recently, summer had finally arrived. The skies have been blue, the sun warm and the living easy. Clearly time to eat summer fruit every moment you can. And when you’re not eating it, you need to be freezing it, cooking with it, turning...
Clippings: August 4, 2011
The internet is a great source for all things foodie, and we’re constantly bookmarking, starring, and emailing intriguing recipes, food porn, and inspiration. Here’s a selection of clippings we think are worth checking out. I had some fantastic raspberries with vanilla ice cream the other night (’tis the season). Going one step further in...
Strawberry Buckle
Here out west, we had a late spring, which has translated into a late/non-existent summer, which has then translated into favourite summer berries being late out of the gate. They are starting to trickle in now, so it’s the perfect time to eat bowls and bowls of them as well as to make all manners...
The Delights Beyond Turkish Delight
It should come as no surprise to some of you, that dessert was also a highlight of my day while in Turkey. I always have room. And of course, because it’s vacation, I had extra room. Growing up with Big Turk as a chocolate bar reality, Turkish Delight, or lokum, never held much appeal,...
Momofuku Crack Pie
Crack. I’m proud to say I’ve never tried the hard stuff. I’m also proud to say I’ve now tried the sweet stuff. As in, Momofuku’s Crack Pie. As in, one bite and the endorphin rush is so great that before you know it, you’ve finished off your entire slice and are wondering if it’s...
It’s a marshmallow world in the winter
You know me. I often like to bake at Christmas. This year? Not so much. Last year was minimal, and this year, even more so. Maybe it’s the baking hangover. Maybe it’s being a little tired of tradition. Maybe it’s wanting to sleep until 1 p.m. on a Sunday without worrying about a day of baking...
