[Smooth, creamy. . . and oh so easy!] I’m so glad it’s ice cream season again, aren’t you? Not because it coincides with climbing temperatures (though the 25C (78F) and sunny days are certainly welcome). Not because it means the HH and I can bring The Girls down to the Beaches for lakeside walks (“We […]

Black-Bottomed Almond Mousse Pie with Chocolate Ganache Drizzle
I actually first made this pie quite a while ago (some of you may remember that I posted about it on Facebook), but I’ve been holding on to the recipe, clinging to it like Scrooge gripping his last penny so that I could save it for this very post. Seriously, this is one is a show-stopper, a […]
Flash in the Pan: Strawberry Chia Fluff for Spring

So. Are we sick of giveaways yet? 😉 Okay, I guess that the chance to win something you like–especially if it involves food you like–never becomes stale (even if the aforementioned foodstuff does).

The series is presented on an occasional (and entirely arbitrary) basis, before I move on to the next lucky comestible. This is the third entry on apples.] […]

So Dreamy: Rachel Albert-Matesz’s The Ice Dream Cookbook* (and Recipe!)
* Or, Dream a Little Dream of Rich, Creamy, Delectable Frozen Desserts [Dried Apricot Pistachio Ice Dream] When I was contacted about a month ago to see if I’d be interested in examining a review copy of the upcoming The Ice Dream Cookbook by Chef Rachel Albert-Matesz, I have to admit I was a bit hesitant at […]
Comfort from the Cold: Spiced Brown Basmati Rice Pudding
Somewhere around the first week of December (either that or the 3rd day there’s snow on the ground, whichever comes first), I decide I’ve had enough of winter. Bah! Who needs lawns covered in a glistening, pristine blanket of white? Who needs billowy undulations of snow-covered hills along the roadside? Who needs that dainty spray […]
