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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
