Homemade English Muffins

On May 13, 2011 · 6 Comments

So as part of the last round of Charcutepalooza I had the brilliant idea to go all out and make my own English muffins. I mean, I was making Canadian bacon and naturally I would use this as part of Eggs Benedict. I’ve already mastered an easy Hollandaise sauce, [...]

Cinnamon Macarons

On April 26, 2011 · 12 Comments

I’m back on a bit of a macaron-making kick!  My last batch turned out well but left me wanting more. Then two things happened. First, my friend at work brought in the latest issue of Fine Cooking which had a big feature on making macarons (check it out here). And [...]

Financiers (Almond Cakes)

On April 18, 2011 · 1 Comment

One of my favourite things about my neighbourhood is the number of bakeries within a 10 minute walk.  I can think of about 6 off the top of my head and another 4-5 if you extend the boundaries to a 15 minute walk.  One of my favourite spots is a French [...]

Coconut Macarons with White Chocolate-Lemon Ganache

On March 30, 2011 · 1 Comment

I’ve been on a bit of a macaron hiatus ever since my batch of chocolate macarons a few months ago. I’ve been craving macarons but the fix I really want is to hop on a plane to Paris and hit up Pierre Herme but since that isn’t in the [...]

Chocolate Babka

On March 27, 2011 · 16 Comments

Whenever I hear the word Babka I inevitably think of the Seinfeld episode where Jerry and Elaine try to secure a chocolate babka. I remember watching that episode when it first aired, likely nearly 20 years ago (holy!), and not really knowing what a babka was to begin with. After watching [...]

Roasted Garlic and Caraway No-Knead Bread

On March 20, 2011 · 6 Comments

It has been almost a year since I last blogged about No-Knead Bread. For awhile I was chronicling my every attempt to perfect my no-knead bread technique (click here for search results) but I honestly haven’t made the bread in awhile.

On a recent trip to Philadelphia I had [...]

Tartine’s Chocolate-Oatmeal-Walnut Cookies

On February 28, 2011 · 1 Comment


I’m forever on a quest to make cookies that look (and feel and taste) like cookies that you’d find in a bakeshop.  I want my cookies round, kind of chewy and pretty flat, is that too much to ask?  In years past my cookies were a bit of a disaster [...]

Tartine’s Buttermilk Scones with Dried Currants

On February 21, 2011 · 4 Comments

While I was in Miami for the holidays I bought a copy of the Tartine cookbook on sale. I’ve already made the lemon bars with success so now it’s just a matter of cooking my way through the book.

I decided to tackle the scones. Oddly enough I NEVER [...]

Homemade Granola Bars

On February 10, 2011 · 10 Comments

Sure, I’ve been making my own Larabars and granola for a minute now but I’ve never even considered making my own granola bars. The funny thing is I generally find myself underwhelmed by the granola bars available in the supermarket. They generally have a lot of sugar, the ingredients [...]

Tartine Bakery Lemon Bars on Brown Butter Shortbread

On January 3, 2011 · 14 Comments

Over the holidays I bought myself a new cookbook. I know, I don’t need anymore cookbooks but I was in Anthropologie and it was on sale and I couldn’t resist. The cookbook is Tartine from the Tartine Bakery & Cafe in San Francisco. I had the chance to eat [...]
