This is a bit of a baking project for those of you willing to try them out. Don’t, as I did, start this “project” at 730pm on a Sunday night when you’re hoping to go to bed at a reasonable hour. Instead, you’ll end up wide awake at midnight, having just finished your completed cream […]
Okay, it’s been a while. Summer weather never seems conducive to cooking inside or baking for that matter. I am far more likely to get back to my cookbooks and try new things when I can’t be outside all day long. That’s how this recipe, or really lack thereof, came to be. Canadian Thanksgiving was […]
Well, none of the items that I planned on making in June really panned out. That’s to say, I made the garlic smeared bread bites and they were just okay, but nothing overly special. We had them as our main and they were kind of a lot of work. I don’t enjoy cooking dinner and […]
This is seriously THE easiest recipe for using sourdough discard. Crumpets are pretty on brand for me. Making crumpets in the morning seems super productive and also a bit pretentious, so of course I’m doing it. If people knew how ridiculously easy they were to make using sourdough discard, they would not be nearly as […]
Gather round and I’ll tell you a tale about a pile of water and flour that took over my life for an inordinate amount of time. That’s right. I cracked. I fell into the coronavirus trap of building a sourdough starter. Unlike everyone else though, I decided to really commit to it as things started […]
This cake is great when you’re short on time. It doesn’t even need fresh fruit, frozen works great. It only takes ten minutes to prepare. I don’t know what else you’d want in a dessert, especially when it’s hot out and you’re trying not to run the oven for long periods of time. The recipe […]
I’ve been a little uninspired with my cooking lately. It’s hard to get excited when it’s day whatever of everything being closed. To try and curb this cooking malaise and get some inspiration back, I’ve decided to make myself a list of things to try out this coming month. That way, I can check back […]
Legitimately. Not even kidding. This recipe was UNREAL. I am not a person who swears by a slow cooker, but I made a NYT recipe for honey chipotle chicken tacos, and I am a convert. You can find the recipe HERE. For this you will require, a pound and a half of boneless skinless chicken […]
So about a month ago, my mum and I went to a chocolate and caramel making workshop. About halfway through it all I decided that chocolate making was my calling and that I should quit my job and open a shop. I have these dreams every now and again, but haven’t followed through on them…so […]
I think if there’s one positive to come from what’s going on right now, it’s that many of us seem to be wasting far less food. I don’t particularly enjoy leftovers, but I’m trying to really ensure that I’m not letting my produce go to waste and that I’m repurposing some of my previous meals. […]
