BABKA FRENCH TOAST
Every year my friend makes me a babka for Christmas. I usually polish it off in a couple days it’s so good. But this year, I controlled my greediness and only ate the end pieces and used the rest for this French toast. I first …

VEGAN CHOCOLATE WALNUT CAKE
I made this for my friend’s birthday. This was my first attempt at a vegan cake. I’m not going lie… it was AMAZING. I couldn’t believe how good this cake turned out. It was soft and dense and super chocolaty. My secret ingredient was crushed …
BEE STING PIZZA
I love the taste of a bee sting pizza. It has the spiciness from the Calabrian chilis, the sweetness from the honey, and the salty bite of the olives. I like using soppressata with this as it compliments the rest of the ingredients. I’ve also …
PIZZA DOUGH

ALMOND RICOTTA COOKIES
My Limoncello cookies are so good. They are something between a cake and cookies thanks to the yogurt in them. I wanted to try this cookie flavoured with almonds instead of lemon and they were perfect. I changed up a few of the ingredients. I …
DATE & WALNUT OAT BARS
This recipe happened when I was doing one of my pantry purges. I had no flour (like most people when we were in locked down) but had lots of oats. I first tried these as cookies but they bake better as bars. The secret ingredient …
FIG & WALNUT PALMIERS
Figs and walnuts are one of my favourite combinations. Whether I make a cake or just pop a fig and walnut in my mouth at the same time, the flavor combination is great. When I started making palmiers, I knew I had to try it …
