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...

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...
Strawberry Buckle
