Raspberry Trifle with Lemoncello Custard
These past two weeks I was in France. Yes, I was in the land of painfully affordable wine (something decent can cost as little as 4 euros) and daily cheese courses. A land where history oozes through the cracks of its stone-walled buildings and cobbled streets, and each meal receives the attention and enjoyment it deserves (something I often ...

Sweet and Salty Potato Salad + A Giveaway {giveaway closed}
Salads are one of the best summertime dishes. You can make it different and interesting at every turn by trying new ingredients, yet keep it light and filling at the same time. I think I became hooked on meal salads because I needed to pack lunches for work and I wanted something cool and easy to make. Grain-salads, based on ...

Roasted Stuffed Eggplant for a North African Afternoon
Last weekend I had the most uplifting and unique experience: I spent an entire day cooking with two fellow food bloggers. Now, this could have easily been disastrous. Has anyone ever heard the saying “too many cooks spoil the broth”? But luckily, it was a grand afternoon! We decided to each select a recipe within our North African ...

Cranberry Carrot Salad with Fennel Croutons + 5 Tips for Serving a Beautiful Salad
I think what makes salads appetizing, especially when you’re at a restaurant, is when they’ve chocked full of stuff. Piled high with flavours and textures; drizzled in a variety of oils and vinegars, and mouthfuls of homemade croutons for an incredible crunch! Making a beautiful salad at home is totally possible, you just need a ...

Goat Cheese and Pumpkin Scalloped Potatoes
Scalloped potatoes is a very popular dish in my family. I have fond memories of my mom serving her famous gratin with gorgonzola cheese. It’s hard to believe she could get kids to scoff down mouthfuls of blue cheese, but the recipe was that good! This version of scalloped potatoes is not only higher in nutrients thanks to the added ...

Milk Pudding and Brown Butter Banana Compote
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 ...
Clementine and Hazelnut Cake with Orange Blossom Buttercream
Sunshine is one of those things that Canadians never take for granted- especially in the dead of winter when you become hungry for light and to hear the birds sing. To celebrate the return of sunshine, I made a cake (how else would you celebrate?) that welcomes the incoming spring with orange blossom, and says adieu to winter with the last of ...

Zabaglione al Rum
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 ...
