This week’s recipe for Cook the Book Fridays from David Lebovitz’s My Paris Kitchen was perfect for Canadian Thanksgiving which fell early this year, catching a few of us by surprise, especially given the very hot September we had. Fortunately the weather cooperated to give us a typical Thanksgiving weekend with chilly temperatures just perfect […]

Tuesdays with Dorie (Dorie’s Cookies): Spiced Pumpkin Jammers
I made this week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe from Dorie’s Cookies for Canadian Thanksgiving a couple of weeks ago.

Tuesdays with Dorie (Dorie’s Cookies): Maple-Star Anise Cookies
I made this week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe from Dorie’s Cookies a couple of times in the middle of a busy weekend when I didn’t really have the time to be making them once, let alone twice… First time around, I halved the recipe and popped them in the oven. So far so good (though […]
