Our culinary adventures in Rome (Part 2)
With my fellow blogger being so detailed while describing our Roman vacation I’d just like to talk about the pastry side of things. Unfortunately, it seems as though the Romans don’t really appreciate a fine pastry and will just settle for mediocre. The best looking pastries we’ve seen were at a French bakery and that’s …
Ma Maison – Toronto
Just thought I would put up some pics of pretty little desserts from Ma Maison in Etobicoke (Dundas and Royal York). Enjoy!
“Le” running shoe
Just thought we’d give good ol’ Cake Boss a run for his money… or try at least! The cake is completely edible, constructed from a simple chocolate génoise filled with chocolate buttercream…. oh and it feeds 30 people easily!
Macarons
Having always been fascinated about the art of making macarons, I’m proud to put up this little post as a tutorial for those wanting to try this process out. Just to clarify, I’m not talking about those fairly disappointing and overly sweet coconut confections but about the colourful and extremely flavourful french macarons. A thick …
All tiramisu wishes it was Lime Thyme!
I was recently given the opportunity to create my own dessert for Ma Maison, the pastry shop where I’m currently employed and after many months of trial and error it’s finally out. With the guidance of the pastry chef and a very vague idea, Lime Thyme was born. It is our take on a traditional …
Strawberry Shortcake Continued…
It seems as though I may have a fixation with this little dessert but it’s one of the simplest I know to make and it’s really good for clearing your pantry and your fridge. So this time I made it a little different due to the lack of whipping cream in my house. So this …

Salted Chocolate Caramel Tart
I made this a lot last fall/winter after we had a delicious one from the Queen of Tarts in Roncesvalles (which has since closed) and I become obsessed with recreating it. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the contrast of the salt with the sweet caramel. Its a great dessert to make ahead of time and I …
Urban Gardening II (Heirloom Tomatoes)
As a housewarming gift, we received heirloom tomato seeds from a good friend of ours. I’ve never actually tried starting tomatoes from seed before now, so it was a bit of a learning experience. I think I may have started them too late, but the plants are in the ground now, so we’ll see how …
Strawberry Shortcake (Photos)
Just found photos of the delicious Strawberry Shortcake that Lemon Tart brought over for our holiday dinner in December. It tastes as good as it looks.
George Brown Food and Wine Gala
So last night I had the pleasure in partaking in a very interesting competition… the George Brown Food and Wine Gala! A chance for the current students to showcase their culinary, creativity and time management skills. Despite some planning issues on food rations for the masses, the college really provided guests with a wonderful sensory …
Food Scan 1: You and Your Kitchen
Our first food scan takes us into the modern kitchen. Here, finally, in one place, are all the items a modern chef will need to get cooking… All joking aside, not much has changed when you really look at it. But my god, look at the colors! Click on the image to see it in …
New Feature: Epic Food Scans!
I was recently over for dinner at a friends house. He brought out a few books that his dad had rescued from a local thrift store. One giant and slightly off smelling tome, called “The Creative Cooking Course”, is an opus to haute cuisine of the late 60’s and 70’s shown through the jaded eyes …
