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

Cherry Cobbler
This is definitely my favourite time of year. I can go to any farmers market and be overwhelmed with choices of what to make for dinner AND what to bake. I stopped by the farmers market in Trinity Bellwoods yesterday and one stand in particular was overflowing with cherries. Believe it or not, the only … Continue reading Cherry Cobbler
Concord Grape Pie
Okay I've totally become a concord grape convert. The first time I had heard of them was in the Four and Twenty Blackbirds book, then I finally saw them at the market this season and today I took the plunge and bought a basket. This grape is so intensely grapey, like grape juice except fresh, … Continue reading Concord Grape Pie
Salted Caramel Apple Pie
Well, Fall is officially upon us so we may as well go big or go home. This pie goes big. The salted caramel sauce really differentiates this pie from other apple pies and is amazing to have on hand for ice cream, cookie filling or just on a spoon. I think any sweet and salty … Continue reading Salted Caramel Apple Pie
Peach Pie
I was reading an article recently and it mentioned "garbage can peaches", meaning a peach so juicy and messy you HAVE to eat it over a garbage can. I love that image, because you honestly can't beat a good peach. Another thing you can't beat? A slice of peach pie on a summer day after … Continue reading Peach Pie
Blueberry Pie
Oh boy. I went to the market this morning and it was overflowing with all good things: strawberries, cherries, peaches, blackberries, raspberries and of course blueberries. I love how small and flavourful wild blueberries are and they're perfect for pie. Typically, I'll buy about half wild and half regular so I don't drop $30 on … Continue reading Blueberry Pie
Cherry Clafoutis
When I was in France last summer, I had my first clafoutis overlooking the rolling hills of Provence (sorry..). I loved how the custard was slightly caramelized around the edges making certain bites chewy between the perfectly ripe cherries. Since I had a bag of cherries to get through in my fridge, I thought making … Continue reading Cherry Clafoutis
Caramelized Apple Pecan Cake
Do you ever see a good deal on something and just go for it without thinking of the ramifications or whether it will fit in your fridge/closet? That was me this weekend. I bought a big basket of apples because I love Fiji apples and it was a good deal, then got home and realized … Continue reading Caramelized Apple Pecan Cake
Pavlova with Strawberries and Rhubarb Cream
Pavlova is a big meringue "cake", typically topped with cream and fruit. It's crisp on the outside and deliciously chewy on the inside and is the perfect light summer dessert. My Grandma always makes these, so naturally I was on the phone with her with any questions I had, as this was the first time … Continue reading Pavlova with Strawberries and Rhubarb Cream
Summer Pound Cake
Strawberry season is GIVING ME LIFE! There's seriously nothing better than perfectly fresh, ripe, local berries. There are endless dessert possibilities ranging from complex strawberry pastries to this simple yet delicious dessert. Honestly, you can whip it together in under 20 minutes (excluding oven time but still). This pound cake is delicious on its own … Continue reading Summer Pound Cake
