Eons since I've visited the south of France, I was whisked to my memories of the Mediterranean first, by a post by David Lebovitz and again by this book. The books recipe missed elements, like being tested apparently, but it reinforced ...
Sometimes I just look over those great recipes and think; no way, no how. This was one of those months. A cake where the only leavener is a bowlful of pouffy egg whites? How am I going to veganize that? Buttercream? Whipped cream? C'mon - my guests are more than happy with a fruit bowl, right? But then, when I made the original recipe - and tasted it... It would be just plain cruel if I didn't, at the very least, attempt something for everyone to eat.
It's terrible but it's the truth. I almost didn't attempt to veganize this month's Daring Baker Challenge. Daunting to say the least when a cake has a dozen eggs in it to somehow replace. (...And that's not including the other two that were in the buttercream recipe.) After making ...
I know that Mother's Day has come and gone, but I just had to share this perfect everyday, great with tea or Coffee Cake. One of the many things that I've learned through my Nana and her baking is that men love coffee cake. It's a ...
Twice busted. I'd been holding off making this month's cheesecake pops due to birthday celebration purposes... It's my son's turn at a birthday this week, so I thought that these would be just perfect, since the family will be en route for is Favourite Things Dinner. As part of his request ...

There's something wonderful about the Daring Baker group that I'd recently joined. Well, a few things actually. For starters, it's a great community of super talented baker/bloggers. With currently over 600 members, it's a fabulous place to have a question about baking. It's also great ...
Mmmm. Hopefully this is the post worth waiting for. Since being whisked off for a quick French get away, I ate my way through all of Montréal's renown food samples. Squeaking a flight through a crazy snowstorm, even for Québec standards, ...
I was almost as excited when I was asked to review Hannah Kaminsky's new cook book, My Sweet Vegan as I was tearing open the package sent with the book inside. Inviting, fresh and bright, there are full page colour photos for every of the ...
This cake is super easy, really the toughest thing was prepping the pan. It's a perfect balance of tart and sweet, elegant for tea and a perfect crumb for a picnic. Almost too perfect, I found myself snacking on it instead of lunch. Every so often I ...
