If you have followed me on Instagram over the past couple of weeks, you’ll have noticed I’ve been cooking up a storm from Jamie Oliver’s latest book, Quick and Easy Food. (it’s not out in Canada until October but I ordered the UK version because 1. I’m impatient and 2. It’s metric. ‘Nuff said) A […]

French Fridays: Potato, feta and basil tortilla from My Paris Kitchen
This week’s Cook the Book Fridays recipe from David Lebovitz’s My Paris Kitchen was a simple tortilla – a thick Spanish omelette/ frittata, typically served at room temperature.

Tuesdays with Dorie (Baking Chez Moi): Brown Butter Peach Tourte
This week, the Tuesdays with Dorie recipe from Baking Chez Moi is a peach pie of the best kind.

Tuesdays with Dorie (Baking Chez Moi): Profiteroles, Ice Cream and Hot Chocolate Sauce, Benoît-style
This week, the Tuesdays with Dorie recipe from Baking Chez Moi was one I wasn’t sure I’d get done in time (though I’ve made it hundreds of times before). Choux pastry is one recipe I learned to be confident with as I worked my way through Dorie’s Around my French Table. It’s one of my […]
