I never knew baking could be so much fun and rewarding. I recently starting making my own bagels and love experimenting with different flavours. Some work and some … well not all are keepers. The big hit for Belle are the Rosemary, Thyme and Garlic bagels and for me it is the Chipotle Chili [...]

I had borrowed this cook book from the library a while ago and loved quite a few recipes from it. I wrote them down so I wasn’t in a big rush to buy the book. But now we bought the book and have found a new favourite cookie recipe. Belle picked this one out but [...]

(She is a cake baker and decorator of the First class and her husband is the president of a large dairy product manufacturer). Believe me this works. This is great shortbread and you [...]

This is a great muffin recipe and they did not last long. Half of them were gone before the 10 minutes of cooling had taken place. You can use a large Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored and grated instead of the apple sauce (as per the original recipe) but I did not have any apples [...]

I really wanted to make a vegan chocolate cake for Hayley (and myself) and found this one in my newest Favourite Cookbook. I was a little worried when I read it contained prunes. Lo and behold it is awesome, prunes and all. I made the "frosting" as per the recipe but it turned [...]
