  • 5-Minute Blueberry Cornmeal Cobbler

    5-Minute Blueberry Cornmeal Cobbler

    Have you got 5 minutes? Great! That is literally all the time you’ll need to throw this bad boy together.  This cobbler was born one Sunday morning when I had less than an hour before I had to leave for brunch, and I had absolutely nothing to bring with me. Being a pastry chef…

  • 5-Ingredient Instant Pot Rice Pudding

    5-Ingredient Instant Pot Rice Pudding

    The Instant Pot is not something that I ever thought that I would want or need. I really do love my slow cooker, and despite how This Is Us viewers may feel, I am not afraid of it killing me. Though, I should re-phrase. I really DID love my slow cooker – that is,…

  • Two Ingredient Vegan Chocolate Mousse

    Two Ingredient Vegan Chocolate Mousse

    This is likely the EASIEST recipe that I’ve ever created, and arguably also one of the best desserts I’ve ever eaten. I’ve always been a fan of chocolate mousse, ever since my first taste over a decade ago at the recently closed Patisserie Gâscogne. I made it daily when I worked as a pastry…

  • Better Than The Ultimate Best Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever

    Better Than The Ultimate Best Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever

    Hey world! Happy 2018! Though I’m not one to make resolutions, I do enjoy the excuse for a good thorough housecleaning and organizational purge. This includes cleaning up and re-organizing the accumulated stuff on my laptop, especially  the endless list that is my bookmarks file. I have been bookmarking my favorites long before the…

  • Strawberry Pie Squares

    Strawberry Pie Squares

    Berry season is STILL here! Seriously, have you been to the markets lately? What a colourful abundance of local produce. My senses tingle each time I walk through. So, I have to start this off by telling you that this recipe is better than strawberry crumble. No, seriously. Like ten times better. I know,…

  • Best Homemade Granola (Vegan & GF)

    Best Homemade Granola (Vegan & GF)

    Hello readers! As you’ve likely noticed, I’ve been on quite the soup kick this winter. Easy, quick and satisfying – and a great way to use up produce that’s on it’s way out. Now that Spring is (ever so slowly) peeking it’s head around the corner, it’s time to cool things down as the…

  • Irish Stout Cake

    Irish Stout Cake

    Today, you’re in for a serious treat. Thanks to another wonderful collab with Stokes Stores, I’m sharing one of my secret recipes from Savoury Sweets Bakery. This cake is rich, it’s chocolatey, and it’s got Irish stout beer in it – making it the perfect way to celebrate St Patrick’s day! This cake comes together in…

  • Pumpkin Cream Pie

    Pumpkin Cream Pie

    Dearest readers, I know, I know, I’ve been gone for much too long. Sorry for the hiatus. I’ve been busy travelling, eating, baking and new-job-a-workin’. You can catch up with all of that thanks to the wonderful world of Instagram, where you can see my travel food posts (here!) and see my baking (here!) Hear,…

  • Habichuelas Con Dulce

    A taste of the CaribBEAN. (Yes. I am punny.) Being vegetarian often encourages me to explore new flavours, new textures, and new colour combinations. I’m inspired by exotic dishes, and I love to try new things. If I see a vegetable, a grain, a bean or a fruit that I’ve never tasted, I’m likely…

Just imagine ooey gooey chocolate that melts in your mouth with every bite. Now, imagine that chocolate wrapped in fluffy cake that’s sweet and salty and…
