I don’t know about you, but I’m trying to hold on to the last bits of summer. This summer wasn’t any better or worse than any other summer. Sure, I had a wonderful vacation to London and Berlin. I even took another week off to do a yoga retreat at Kripalu [...]

Growing up in Toronto you get used to the changing seasons.  Part of me always thinks I want to live in a hot climate but I know I would miss the transitions.  As much as I like to whine, the first snow of the year is magical.  And who doesn’t love [...]

Does anyone else feel like summer is rapidly slipping away?  In the morning there’s a bit of a chill in the air.  The days are becoming shorter.  The nights are chilly… folks, fall is around the corner.  And while I love fall, I’m not quite ready to give up frolicking in [...]

With my recent strawberry picking exploits I ended up with a lot of berries. I didn’t want to make jam so I needed some ideas. I thought about doing some sort of strawberry rhubarb combo but that didn’t happen. As per usual I took to the interwebs to see what [...]

I recently went on a bit of a roadtrip to Prince Edward County, Ontario for an afternoon of strawberry picking.  I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to pick berries at a farm vs. one of the pick-your-own operations.  This basically meant that we had an entire farm all to [...]

Perhaps one of the highlights of eating in London was discovering the joys of Eton Mess.  I enjoyed Eton Mess for the first time at St. John and then again at Hereford Road. I love that it is a really simple dessert and that it’s a great way to showcase [...]

Rhubarb and Strawberry Tart with Brown Butter Streusel

On June 13, 2011 · 10 Comments

Last year I was pretty obsessed with Rhubarb.  I think it was because I was at the farmers market every weekend and was so on top of what was local and in season.  I made a great Rhubarb Strawberry Pudding Cake and a Country Rhubarb Cake and was pretty [...]

Every once in awhile in the food blogger world there’s that recipe it feels like everyone is making. A few years ago it was all about No-Knead Bread and since then there have been many other recipes that have become popular among food bloggers. Within the past year or so, [...]

Coconut Creme Brulee

On May 18, 2011 · 8 Comments

One of the downsides to making a lot of macarons is the load of egg yolks that you inevitably end up with.  I usually put the yolks in a container and freeze them for later use.  The other day I made a pact with myself that I wouldn’t make any more [...]

Cinnamon Macarons

I’m back on a bit of a macaron-making kick!  My last batch turned out well but left me wanting more. Then two things happened. First, my friend at work brought in the latest issue of Fine Cooking which had a big feature on making macarons (check it out here). And [...]
