Happy French Friday! Today I’m sharing a dish that is completely Covid-pantry friendly, easy to make (so easy that the kids can make it) and a delicious comfort dish for this “in between” season we seem to be having here in Toronto. It’s the Gratin de Pâtes au Jambon (Cheesy Pasta Bake) from In the […]

Tuesdays with Dorie (Baking Chez Moi): Hibiscus Tea Sablés
This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe from Baking Chez Moi was a simple “sablé” (shortbread) that I figured would be easy to whip up in between online classes. In fact, I made this twice (not the full recipe) and I’m not sure I got it right. The recipe calls for “green tea leaves” but I […]
Cook the Book Fridays: Mediterranean Shepherd’s Pie from Everyday Dorie
For this week’s recipe for Cook the Book Fridays we again made something of our own choosing from Dorie Greenspan’s latest cookbook, Everyday Dorie.

The world was a completely different place back when I tucked this book in my carry-on bag to take the long, long flight to Australia, so […]
Tuesdays with Dorie (Baking Chez Moi): Martine’s Lemon and Apple Tart
Ok folks – some real talk here. I halved this week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe from Baking Chez Moi thinking I was being all frugal and saving flour etc… (plus, I got to minify a recipe – bonus!). I mean, I have a good stock of flour but to be honest, we’re not really needing […]
