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

Strawberry Ginger Pie

Okay I feel like I've been teasing with this pie. I've made it as hand pies, a galette but only now have I made it in classic pie form. I just cannot get enough of this flavour combination (and strawberries are treating me well while I wait for other berries to come into season). I … Continue reading Strawberry Ginger Pie

I love mixing it up by carving out a bit of the core (with an apple corer!) and filling it with a fruit curd or another filling. This time, I made a frosting with fresh local strawberries folded in and … Continue reading Strawberry Cupcakes

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

Strawberry Balsamic Pie

Good strawberries are hard to find. It has to be the right time of year and the berries have to be just ripe enough, but if you get a good batch it's like a whole other level of delicious. It's easy to devour the whole box by yourself in one sitting, why not right? SO … Continue reading Strawberry Balsamic Pie
