Coming from an Italian household, we always had Nutella on hand. Whenever a chocolate craving struck, I would grab a spoon and tuck into a jar of delicious chocolate-hazelnut heaven. Since then, I have upgraded on my Nutella snack with a recipe so easy and simple, you can make it in minutes! I am so […]

I absolutely love the nutty flavour and aroma you get from browning your butter. Browned Butter (or Beurre Noisette) imparts an extra special element to any recipe. The toasty flavour develops by essentially cooking down the butter on a medium/low heat which removes access water, and then slowly turns the milk solids brown. This completely […]
Ok, this post has been a LONG time coming. One of the first things I learned to make from scratch at home were chocolate chip cookies. I was so proud of myself, and couldn’t believe homemade cookies were so easy to make. This recipe has come quite a way since then, as I’ve had YEARS […]
These cookies are what chocolate lovers dream of… They are fudgy, rich, have a slight coffee flavour, and are made with almond flour giving them a chewy consistency, as well as making them naturally gluten-free! They are studded with a little bit of white chocolate for a balanced flavour, but you can omit this, or […]
I think we can all universally agree that times have been strange lately. I don’t know how you have been passing the quarantine, but less time out and exploring the world meant more time at home for my sister and I. Due to this, we decided to finally tackle a goal of ours, and that […]
Pavlova | Strawberries & Cream Meringue
This dessert reminds me of something my mother would make us when we were young. Her meringue style dessert had the addition of ground almonds I believe.

Carrot Cake Loaf | Cream Cheese Frosting
With a long quarantine upon us (at least in Canada), and much more time on our hands to cook and bake, I have been experimenting in the kitchen lately. I think we can all agree that leaving our house to grocery shop has actually become quite scary. With that being said, I wanted to bake […]
Hi everyone, I hope we are all staying home and staying safe during this difficult time. I for one have been cooking and baking a lot more than usual, which is the silver lining in this. Since there is difficulty in accessing certain ingredients, I remembered this great yeast-free bread recipe I would make all […]
One of the easiest and most delicious desserts you can make any time of the year, but especially now with Valentine’s Day right around the corner is Panna Cotta. I have always loved this dessert, and once I made it, I could not believe how simple it was. The best part is, it is a no bake […]
I have been perfecting my simple, soft and fluffy, chocolate chip Banana Bread recipe, with an easy and addictive sugary topping for quite some time. Since I was little, I would look forward to the bananas going brown in my house as an excuse to bake this banana bread. I really tried to develop a […]
