Last week I spent an afternoon at my favourite market – the Jean-Talon Farmers’ Market in Montreal. My two daughters and husband came along (I suspect it was because we were going to have lunch in Little Italy which is located adjacent to the market). I love the hustle and bustle of this market! Vendors offer samples of their produce…

Olive Oil Muffins
I acquired a ‘taste’ or more like ‘love’ for olive oil at a very young age. That is the only oil my mom used to cook with. It’s ironic that I don’t like olives although I will eat them only if they are part of a recipe. On my last cooking tour to Umbria last year, we went on a…

When I read that Heather of Randomosity and the Girl chose Ina Garten’s Grown Up Mac and Cheese as the dish to make for today’s Barefoot Bloggers cook event, I wasn’t sure whether I wanted to make it or not.

Chunky Peanut Butter and Oatmeal Chocolate Chipters – TWD
Chunky Peanut Butter and Oatmeal Chocolate Chipters – that’s quite a mouthful and so are these amazing cookies! When I read that Stefany of Proceed with Caution chose these cookies found on page 73 of Dorie Greenspan’s book, Baking: From my Home to Yours, I was delighted.

Chocolate Éclairs – The Daring Bakers Challenge
Unfortunately I was not able to participate in this month’s Daring Bakers once again. Sometimes things happen in life and you just have to go with the flow. Next week, my household will be back to ‘normal’ as school starts and I will have more time to dedicate to baking. I was happy to read that Tony Tahhan and MeetaK…
