This pie only confirms a universal truth: chocolate and peanut butter are a match made in heaven. Nested between a chocolate crumb crust and a smooth ganache is a peanut butter cheese cake. It’s hard to imagine a more delicious combination… This is one of the more ingenious recipes in Joy of Cooking. Chocolate Peanut Butter [...]

When visiting Ontario a few weeks ago, I visited my aunt and her partner in St. Catharines. Dan is a fabulous chef – and we feasted on a tasting menu of mushroom brie puff pastry, goat cheese and golden beat salad, hand stuffed lobster ravioli, out of this world lamb, and molten chocolate cakes. The [...]

Brunch is unquestionably my favourite meal. Always eaten in the company of your favourite people, this is my excuse to go crazy with delicious breakfast and lunch foods. I only wish I had an excuse to make scrambled eggs with smoked salmon every morning! And when it comes to brunch, cinnamon buns top the list. [...]

It’s hard to imagine that 2012 has arrived! 2011 has flashed by quicker than either of us expected, and both of us have loved writing entries for gourm(eh?). Neither of us could guess how rewarding this blog would prove to be. We are so grateful for our reader’s supports and comments, and hope you will [...]
Blueberry-lemon shortcake

Berry season is over, and there’s nothing quite like fresh, fully ripe berries that have been warmed in the sun. I’m posting this for memory’s sake, because I love blueberries, and as you’ve probably already figured out, I harvested a lot of them this summer (the heading photo for our blog is proof!). I love [...]
Blueberry-apple cobbler with cardamom

Just this fall, I have made endless desserts with apples – and I have been challenging myself to make a different one each time. The most difficult thing about that is the fact that most of the time I only have a short period of time in which to make these, so inevitably, that reduces [...]

Although this particular recipe is my own invention, it is based on an idea my mother came up with. And the best part is that it’s more delicious, easier, and more novel than the usual crumble (well, perhaps not after this post – but I’m ok with that). With this dessert, not only do you [...]
Apple Oatmeal Spice Muffins

The last of the apples I picked in September are starting to become snowy, so I decided to transform the apples into something baked. I’ve been inkling for muffins, and since oatmeal muffins are near my favourites (must be the Scot coming out in me), I decided to search the Internet for some not-to-sweet apple [...]
