Read MoreRaspberry Danish Twist
It’s been longer than I can remember since I bought a cake, any kind of cake. I enjoy baking and always feel like I need to bake my own rather than buying a cake. I have to say that some turn out better than others. When I saw a post for the recipe for Entenmann’s…

The perfect meringues are light and airy clouds, chewy and soft, with a crisp exterior. Meringue swirls are being baked in preparation of Passover and the arrival of spring. This bowl of sweet treats won’t last very long, as they are a family favourite.
Read MoreFlourless Chocolate Cookies
You would never know that these crinkly melt-in-your-mouth chocolate cookies are flourless. They’re packed with rich chocolate flavour and the melty chocolate chunks in each cookie is a lovely bonus.

This helps keep the tops from cracking and gives the cheesecakes a…
Read MoreGreen Olive Za’atar Focaccia
Perfectly soft and fluffy. Light as air. Satisfyingly chewy. Studded with sliced cerignola olives and topped with za’atar. Oh and it’s the extra virgin olive oil that makes focaccia taste so unbelievably delicious. I just want to get lost in those airy pockets. I think … no, I know that this is one of the…
Read MoreCookie Butter Cheesecake Hamantaschen
I’m obsessed with these three cornered zebra striped tender shortbread treats that are filled with cookie butter cheesecake and chocolate. This is the first time I’ve rolled a two-toned dough. The dough cooperated nicely and I love the way it blended to create something that resembles zebra stripes. It’s a matter of cutting strips of…
