I always love the seasonal collaborations that Annie of @whatannieseating and Rebecca and Ruth of @squaremealroundtable put together, and this was no exception. For fall, cranberries were the star ingredient, and I decided to go with a dessert that's a bit simpler, but no less delicious - cookies. With Thanksgiving coming up south of the … Continue reading Dark Chocolate Chunk Cranberry Cookies
Red Currant Apple Pie
Last weekend I went to Andrew's Scenic Acres and among all the apples and gourds, I was thrilled to find freezers full of farm frozen summer fruit, including currants. I had seen apples mixed with berries in pie before and thought that red currants would cut through a typical warm apple pie with their acidity. … Continue reading Red Currant Apple Pie
Chocolate Tahini Tart with Halva
I feel like this recipe doesn't require too much explanation. Chocolate? Good. Tahini? Good. Halva? Good. All three together? Really, really good. One thing that I love about this recipe is it is insanely quick to put together and doesn't require any oven or stove. There's minimal active time which means you can be running … Continue reading Chocolate Tahini Tart with Halva
Plum Fig Pie
Last weekend it went below 16C and all of Toronto decided it was time to whip out their new fall wares and put on a fashion show. Sweaters and scarves and leather jackets were out in full force, and then two days later it was a balmy 25C. What do you do when the weather … Continue reading Plum Fig Pie
Plum Raspberry Cobbler
Cobbler is kind of a summer godsend. If you have a bunch of amazing produce and not a lot of time, this is definitely for you. This recipe really lets the fruit shine. I used a combination of red and Italian plums to get a lovely sweet and tart combination, with raspberries thrown in to … Continue reading Plum Raspberry Cobbler
Tomato Ricotta Galette
One thing I love about Instagram collaborations is the chance to try something you may not have thought of otherwise. It couldn't have been more true with the #wesaytomatoes collaboration, as I rarely do savoury baking, but what better way to make the most of tomato season! I love heirloom tomatoes and all their different … Continue reading Tomato Ricotta Galette
Mini Strawberry Ginger Galettes
I have a whole bag of cornmeal in my kitchen and I'm trying to figure out how to use it up. Cornbread is a given and I've pondered cookies, but today I decided to throw some into pie crust. Cornmeal gives pie dough an extra crunch and heartiness, which holds up perfectly against juicy strawberries … Continue reading Mini Strawberry Ginger Galettes
Black Bottom Strawberry Pie
I spent most of the day and evening cooking yesterday. When I heard the news about Anthony Bourdain, I was absolutely crushed. Like so many others, he brought different cultures and their food into our living rooms and our phone screens. He was one of my favourite writers and could hook me with his vivid … Continue reading Black Bottom Strawberry Pie
Rhubarb Upside Down Cake
I wanted to expand my rhubarb horizons this year. I'm not going to say that I exhausted my rhubarb pie repertoire (it is something I will never tire of), but you guys know I like a challenge and maybe even some weird stuff (this is not weird and is not as challenging as it looks). Rhubarb … Continue reading Rhubarb Upside Down Cake
Five Spice Rhubarb Hand Pies
I maintain that hand pies are the best dessert you can bring to a summer gathering. They're portable, fit in the palm of your hand, don't require plates or cutlery and are of course, delicious. They also have a solid crust to filling ratio for the pie crust fiends among us, which is just … Continue reading Five Spice Rhubarb Hand Pies
