Every once in a while you need a dessert that can pretty much be thrown together at a moment’s notice. This French Apple Cake is just that.
While I love hosting people for dinner, sometimes I just want a low-key catchup session that doesn’t involve washing every single dish and bowl that I […]
For years I’ve been a part of this online cookbook buying “club” called The Good Cook. It’s similar to the old Columbia House CD buying program where you get a certain number of books for cheap (in this case 4 for $1 each) and then have to buy a few more […]
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 […]
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 […]
My French food kick continues! This time around I decided to make Julia Child’s Boeuf Bourguignon from . This dish figured prominently in the movie ‘Julie and Julie’ and since watching the movie months ago this dish has been on my list of things […]
Quelle horreur! Yes, it’s a macarons graveyard of sorts.
As you may recall this year I became pretty engrossed with making French macarons – mostly with success. I felt like I was blessed with some sort of macaron-making gene when my first batch turned out well with few casualties. […]
I recently completed a pretty terrible course at George Brown called Creative Plate Presentations. I thought it would be really cool and help me plate my food better but the instructor that I had was a bit retro for my tastes. The one good thing about the class is that […]
It’s no secret that I love desserts. I live in a household where we always want “something sweet” after dinner. Oftentimes a few m&m’s suffice but sometimes you want a pretty fantastic baked good. Luckily I live within walking distance of four great French bakeries aka patisseries and a bit of a […]
For some reason I’ve been on a HUGE French food kick recently. If I had my way I would eat from Julia Child’s every day. I’m not even kidding. Clearly my body just wants butter and cream.
The other day I was […]
I’ve never really given mussels too much though, especially not making them. Sure if I go out to a restaurant and there happen to be mussels in my dish I will eat them but I rarely (if ever order mussels). There’s no real reason whatsoever for that. I think I just […]
