Eggless Opéra Cake

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...

SPRING!!! & Oh Ya, Hot Crossed Buns

Clawing from the depths of a seemingly endless winter, spring has finally arrived. Of course with about a foot of snow still remaining outside of my urban home and the prediction of 6 more weeks of crappy weather, it’s a little hard to believe. Thankfully with the double whammy of this beloved...

Montréal, March Break, Maple Syrup & Madeleines.

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, safe at home I brought out my sack of goodness from...

Curried Carrot Soup

I am one of those people who like cilantro. Cilantro is a love it or hate it kind of thing. Thankfully the herby leaf it offers to 50% of the population who enjoy it, also comes with a seed. Coriander, which the seed more commonly goes by, lends a refreshing and slightly citrusy flavour. Blended with...

Satsuma Almond Sammich Cookies

It was amazing I had a chance to fill these cookies. Fresh and plain, the almond biscuits coming straight from the oven proved pretty popular. I almost would have thought to leave them just for snacking although it is Christmas cookie season, so I figured a little extra sparkle was in order. Setting...

Chocolate Chestnut Biscotti with Candied Clementine

Not that I’m the authority but I think that it’s safe to say that Holiday baking is may “officially” begin, now that it’s actually December. Be it that we took our kids to the community Santa Claus parade or that was today was the first of December, Holidays get me to hum...

Vegan Pumpkin Manicotti

Thrusting from a vacation back into the continual chill known as November in my part of the world, rejolted my need for hibernation. Part of this ritual naturally consists of no longer wanting to venture outside for long walks along the beach or having bird like meals made up of crunchy vegetables....

Pumpkin Mushroom & Leek Risotto

With autumn here it’s not to tough to find the cooler weather ingredients. As the farmer’s markets begin the preparation of shutting down for the winter, the fall finds and harvest colours are still filling the tables. Since Jack-o-Lanterns aren’t very good for eating, I used the Jarrahdale...

Roasted Vegetable Soup

Who knew that if given the choice, most grown-ups will avoid roasted parsnips and squash if they are served on their own? Made me happy, as I eyed the level of the dish near the end of dinner. I knew where these left over vegetables were going after the Thanksgiving dishes were done. Funny thing, us...
