Latke crust and Vegetable Mini Quiches

March 21, 2017

These mini quiches, cradled in a latke-inspired crust, are perfect little appetizers for brunch or dinner. Not only are they easy to make, but they can be made in advance and enjoyed either cold or slightly warmed. The silky egg filling is almost overflowing with herbs and vegetables, making them fantastic breakfasts on-the-go during the week ...

Sticky Maple Buns with Sweet Tahini Glaze

March 2, 2017

Sticky buns tend to come with all kinds of filling, but the most important detail is that the filling caramelized in the oven, rendering a deliciously sticky crust that gently coats and supports the pillow-y dough inside.

Strawberry Oatmeal Muffins

August 31, 2016

Hearty homemade muffins are pretty much one of the most perfect weekday breakfasts out there. I love when they’re full of jammy puddles of fruit, chewy bits of grains or seeds, and with a soft pillow-y crumb. These Strawberry Oatmeal Muffins are no exception. I love the chewiness from the oatmeal and the punch of fresh strawberries that ...

Milk Pudding and Brown Butter Banana Compote

April 15, 2016

Pudding is a childhood favourite, but sometimes I crave new flavours and interesting textures. This milk pudding, a Middle Eastern favourite, has been altered to include delicious flavours like vanilla and cardamom, and topped with a brown butter banana compote that is incredible! The flavours meld beautifully, and the elegance of the final ...

Zabaglione al Rum

March 27, 2016

I am a huge fan of custard. To the point that I will make a custard just to eat it with berries as an evening dessert. I’m not talking creme anglaise, I’m talking the thick and rich custard you’d dress a trifle with, sandwich between two cake layers, or even dollop on top of a generous slice of pie. Just recently I heard ...

Lime and Persimmon Marmalade

March 6, 2016

Marmalade is a creation that is both sweet and tart- and I like to make my own as I prefer it more on the tart side. Especially when heavily slathered with hot butter and toasted baguette! This recipe uses limes which add a heavy citrus note, and is paired with persimmons. If you don’t know what persimmons are, they’re a large ...

Grainy Doughnuts with Chocolate Glaze

January 14, 2016

So it’s January, we’re all bundled up and the snow is blowing. And the cold makes us crave comfort foods to warm us from the inside out, such as sweet treats to soften the onset of S.A.D. (Seasonal Affective Disorder totally exists). But you can’t have delicious and unhealthy treats, no sir. Because you’ve promised ...

Coconut Rice Pudding

January 7, 2016

Rice pudding gets a bad rap. Most of us think of the thick and bland dish often served in cafeterias or pre-made in little plastic dishes. The rice tended to be overlooked, too thick or too watery, and not particularly appetizing. I think homemade rice pudding makes for the best January dessert. Why, you ask? You can enjoy it warm or cold, and ...

Potato Waffles and Pomegranate Molasses

December 20, 2015

Waffles are one of my favourite breakfast foods. The extra effort required to whip them up makes them a weekend special, and they’re always rated first-class during brunch. But, like any classic, it can also be fun to give them a bit of a new flavour. These waffles are stuffed full of- you guessed it- mashed potatoes! I mixed in some ...

Yogurt Sundae with Coffee Bourbon Caramel

October 3, 2015

Life would be incredibly sad without dessert. But you can’t have a monster piece of chocolate layer cake with double fudge frosting every day! (Who am I kidding, if I could I totally would) A dessert on the lighter side can sometimes be tremendously appreciated, especially after a large meal or when you want something to cradle between ...
