Magnolia’s Banana Pudding

On April 29, 2012 · 5 Comments

As some of you may know, I went to undergrad at NYU and lived in the village/Union Square for much of that time.  That time happened to be between 2001 and 2005.  During this time Sex and the City was hugely popular and a few months before starting at NYU there was an [...]

Key Lime Tartlets

On April 7, 2012 · 1 Comment

I’m not sure what switch has been flicked in my brain but recently dessert has been a big deal for me. Sure, I’ve always been a dessert kind of gal but I’d usually be happy enough settling for a few squares of chocolate, an apple pie from McDonald’s (my kryptonite) or a cookie [...]

My Paris Haul

On April 2, 2012 · 5 Comments

Paris is known as a fashion capital and when most people go to Paris they go shopping for the latest fashions.  Not I! In terms of fashion I only bought a pair of Bensimon sneakers and a backpack (don’t ask).  What I really stocked up on was food!  Here’s a rundown of the groceries [...]

Peach Crumb Bars

I don’t know about you, but I’m trying to hold on to the last bits of summer. This summer wasn’t any better or worse than any other summer. Sure, I had a wonderful vacation to London and Berlin. I even took another week off to do a yoga retreat at Kripalu [...]

Growing up in Toronto you get used to the changing seasons.  Part of me always thinks I want to live in a hot climate but I know I would miss the transitions.  As much as I like to whine, the first snow of the year is magical.  And who doesn’t love [...]

Does anyone else feel like summer is rapidly slipping away?  In the morning there’s a bit of a chill in the air.  The days are becoming shorter.  The nights are chilly… folks, fall is around the corner.  And while I love fall, I’m not quite ready to give up frolicking in [...]

Strawberry Cake

On July 31, 2011 · 8 Comments

With my recent strawberry picking exploits I ended up with a lot of berries. I didn’t want to make jam so I needed some ideas. I thought about doing some sort of strawberry rhubarb combo but that didn’t happen. As per usual I took to the interwebs to see what [...]

Strawberry Frozen Yogurt

On July 13, 2011 · 4 Comments

I recently went on a bit of a roadtrip to Prince Edward County, Ontario for an afternoon of strawberry picking.  I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to pick berries at a farm vs. one of the pick-your-own operations.  This basically meant that we had an entire farm all to [...]

Strawberry Eton Mess

On June 28, 2011 · 11 Comments

Perhaps one of the highlights of eating in London was discovering the joys of Eton Mess.  I enjoyed Eton Mess for the first time at St. John and then again at Hereford Road. I love that it is a really simple dessert and that it’s a great way to showcase [...]

Rhubarb and Strawberry Tart with Brown Butter Streusel

On June 13, 2011 · 10 Comments

Last year I was pretty obsessed with Rhubarb.  I think it was because I was at the farmers market every weekend and was so on top of what was local and in season.  I made a great Rhubarb Strawberry Pudding Cake and a Country Rhubarb Cake and was pretty [...]
