Chai Custard Pie

I started following Spice Girl Eats on Instagram last summer when she was doing gorgeous looking pop ups out of Depanneur in Toronto and then couldn’t help but notice her Chai Concentrate being sold where only products picked by the most discerning tastes would be sold. I picked up a bottle late last year, made … Continue reading Chai Custard Pie

Salty Malty Blondies with Caramelized White Chocolate

The longer the name, the more delicious, right?? This is at least the case with two of my recipes: this one and my Coffee Chocolate Cinnamon Pecan Pie I basically decided that this recipe would involve only delicious, toasty elements: brown butter, malted milk powder, caramelized white chocolate, all topped off by flaky Maldon salt, … Continue reading Salty Malty Blondies with Caramelized White Chocolate

Salted Caramel Apple Galette

For Thanksgiving this year I put a design twist on my classic apple galette and it was a hit! Enough of you asked for the recipe that I figured I would draft an update that uses the below sliced apple segment design. I also used copious amounts of salted caramel, which was a major win … Continue reading Salted Caramel Apple Galette

Apple Cider Donuts

In Fall 2018, I made a batch of very good apple cider donuts. I had the intention of posting the recipe, never did (surprise, surprise) and promptly lost the recipe. Here we are 2 years later, and I'm confident these are as good or better than the originals! Cider donuts are a pure joy during … Continue reading Apple Cider Donuts

Brown Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies

I almost named this post "The Only Cookies that Matter", but decided against it. Too long and doesn't mention the brown butter. I've been bad and haven't posted in 9 months (!!!). I've still been baking of course, but life is busy, and with that, I've had less time for developing and writing recipes. I've … Continue reading Brown Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Strawberry Bourbon Lemonade Pie

As we all know, strawberries are one of the first signs that the harsh, insanely long winter has passed, the spring rhubarb and it's semi-almost kind of warm weather are on their way out and summer might actually arrive. When I finally saw strawberries at the farmer's markets, I was relieved, but I was still … Continue reading Strawberry Bourbon Lemonade Pie

Grapefruit Donuts

Every season I look forward to the collaboration that Annie, Rebecca and Ruth from What Annie's Eating and Square Meal Round Table put together for fellow food bloggers and Instagrammers, all focussed on seasonal produce. This winter, we're brightening these cold days with grapefruit! These grapefruit donuts have a subtle brightness from the citrus and … Continue reading Grapefruit Donuts

Bourbon Date Cake

When I went to Marrakech, I was converted to dates. I had never completely signed on as a fan, but when you try things at the source, you typically get what the hype is about. The hype reached another level when I had dinner on the rooftop of Nomad, overlooking the spice souk and watching … Continue reading Bourbon Date Cake

Salted Maple Pie

I was looking back on my pie repertoire the other day and came across the Salty Honey Custard Pie - sweet, salty and a little bit weird, it's everything I love in dessert. But now it's winter and I think we're looking for something a bit... toastier. Enter sweet, sweet maple syrup - essentially a 1 for … Continue reading Salted Maple Pie

Brown Butter Gingerbread Bundt Cakes

As we all know I am a brown butter enthusiast. I basically don't make cookies anymore without browning butter and I am all about adding it to pies and tarts. I had never thought about using it in a cake, but for these bundt cakes I thought I would try an experiment and see how … Continue reading Brown Butter Gingerbread Bundt Cakes
