Simplicity on a plate comes in the form of grilled nectarines or peaches with crumbled feta and sprigs of mint. Arranged neatly on a plate it’s quick, simple and delicious. I feel like summer disappeared and I missed it somehow. I did not buy flats of blueberries or bags of fresh, local peaches. I left half my raspberries hanging on the vine after becoming overwhelmed
Strawberry Chocolate Syrup
Strawberry chocolate syrup with a hint of fresh mint and cardamom is an easy to make recipe but with a flavour complexity that makes it an elegant addition to summer desserts and drinks! There are times, it would seem, where you really wish something had worked out differently. And it gnaws at you, in the back of your brain, even if you tell yourself it’s
Rhubarb Apple Tart with Coconut and Chocolate
As quickly as it comes, rhubarb season leaves and so, this is my second but also my last rhubarb post of the year. Last week’s rhubarb apple crisp was so highly rated in this household that I decided to work with the rhubarb apple combo again for this tart. The tart itself was inspired by a rhubarb white chocolate almond tart I saw in Edible
Rhubarb Maple Apple Crisp
I forgot about my rhubarb patch this spring. Well, not “forgot” exactly. Just, sort of… well I would remember for a fraction of a second and think I should go check on it and then get distracted until a day or two later and then… well… rinse, lather and repeat. It sits at the very back of the garden tucked amongst raspberry canes that are
Butter Baked Goods, Mixed Berry Muffins and Post Processing
I have been quiet in this space lately. But not quiet overall. When I haven’t been doing client work, I’ve been busy doing a lot of writing. Far more than I usually do. I spent most of January working on a 31 Day Clean Up Your Blog series over at Food Bloggers of Canada along with my charming chum and FBC partner in crime, Ethan
Ginger Molasses Cookies Stuffed With Molasses Kisses
Well hello there! It’s been a while hasn’t it? No cookies, no photography tips, just empty internet space. Well, I’m here to fix that today – with cookies! Fall calls out for homemade cookies and my first batch out of the oven is usually my double chocolate chip cookies, but this autumn I’ve been craving some scrumptious, soft, chewy, spicy ginger molasses cookies. And these
Concord Grape Apple Pie for Thanksgiving
Apparently… grape apple pie is a thing. I only just found this out. After going apple picking a few weeks ago, I was chatting with Food Husband Sean about what kind of pie I should make with all this fruit. I didn’t want to do my usual sour cream apple pie or a straight up apple pie… Sean: I know what kind of pie you
Chai Spiced Buttered Apples with Brown Sugar, and Raisins
A few week’s ago, Ethan called me up and said he wanted to go apple picking and did I want to come? Well of course I did but, apple picking is something I associate with the Okanagan – not the greater Vancouver area – could we even find somewhere that we could pick apples ourselves without stealing them off the odd neighbourhood tree? Because, you
Sour Cream Peach Pie
One of my favourite pies… scratch that… my very favourite pie, is my mom’s Sour Cream Apple Pie. To me, it’s pie perfection – tender flaky pastry, succulent apples mixed with tangy sour cream and a perfect cinnamon brown sugar topping. Autumn in a pie plate. But then, then I saw Greg’s post for PEACH sour cream pie over on SippitySup and I started to
Rustic Peach and Cherry Honey Tart
I am back with more Okanagan bounty. I’m afraid to say I don’t think this will be the last post about my Okanagan goodies but seriously, when they’re THIS GOOD, who cares, right? I love making rustic tarts with puff pastry. First of all, they’re super easy (if you totally cheat like me and buy the puff pastry) and second of all, they’re so easy
