Aaaand the strawberry saga continues. First there was the strawberries and cream pavlova, then there was the roasted strawberry and balsamic vinegar ice cream sandwiches, and now there's strawberry financiers. And there's still one more strawberry recipe to post next week (hint: it's jam). This is what happens when you get 2 kilos of strawberries. Strawberry everything.

Whoever thought of making ice cream into a hand-held treat surrounded by two delicious cookies is a straight up genius. It's tough to take something already so awesome like ice cream and make it even more awesome. But ice cream sandwiches are proof that it can be done.

Summer is in full swing here and hopefully everywhere else! That means cold and fresh dinners, sunburns (just me?), and fruit! Fruit everywhere! Pretty much every berry is coming into season right now and it's almost too much for me. I feel like a kid in a candy store! 

A few weeks ago, I came into possession of about 6 lbs of strawberries and then went buck wild with making strawberry everything. So the next few weeks are going to be filled with strawberry recipes. But for now, it's all about these tiny little raspberries and their amigos - lime, mint, and white chocolate.

Strawberries and Cream Pavlova

Fruit

Read Article →

I almost didn't put this recipe up because it's just too easy. I could've done so many fancy things with this pavlova (strawberry fluid gel, meringue shards, diplomat cream, and strawberry powder were all thoughts floating around in my mind), but I didn't. Sometimes, all you need is a few fresh strawberries and some sweetened whipped cream.

Tomato Bruschetta on Homemade Bread

Bread

Read Article →

You know those recipes that aren't really recipes? This is one of them. I'm pretty sure there's a million "recipes" for bruschetta out there with different ratios of tomatoes to basil, but this is just my version. Nothing too fancy, just good homemade bread, ripe tomatoes, and fresh basil. This is my absolute favourite way to enjoy tomatoes - no cooking, no fussing, no worries.
