Continue reading →: Breakfast at The Old Fork in Duncan, BC
Since moving away from Victoria, Nate and I have bemoaned the fact that there were no great breakfast places in the area. “Going for breakfast” is a Big Deal in Victoria, which is home to many breakfast joints, all of which have lineups out the door by 9 am on…

Continue reading →: Sourdough Banana Bourbon Upside Down Cake
This might be the most unattractive cake I’ve ever made, which is both disappointing and hilarious. Disappointing because the pictures from the recipe I based it on are quite pretty, but somehow it didn’t translate (more on that later). Hilarious because, as my darling Nate pointed out when he went…

Continue reading →: Friday Night Pizza
Every couple Fridays, Nate and I make homemade pizza for dinner. This is one of the rare times we are actually in the kitchen making dinner together (something I would like to do more often), me stretching out the dough, Nate shredding cheese and slicing toppings, deciding together what to…

A good friend of ours had a milestone birthday this week, and to celebrate we got together with a bunch of good people for some Neapolitan style pizza at Pizzeria Prima Strada last weekend. I offered to make Aaron a cake, but unfortunately you can’t take a homemade cake into…

Continue reading →: Ethiopian Injera
A few years ago I had lunch with my Mum at an Ethiopian restaurant in Vancouver. Never having had Ethiopian food before, I had no idea what to expect, other than my Mum telling me that we would be eating “injera” made from “teff”, which really didn’t do much to…

Continue reading →: Silky Lemon Curd
As mentioned in my previous post, I loves me some lemon. Lemon curd is one of my favorite things to spread on toast, dollop on scones, stir into plain Greek yogurt (or layer with granola in a dessert-for-breakfast parfait), or just eat straight off a spoon. It’s also darn good…

Continue reading →: Lemon Heart Danishes
Valentine’s Day. An excuse for heart-shaped baking. I’m in! Lemon is my favorite sweet/dessert flavour second only to chocolate, but it’s hard to buy decent lemon baked goods. I hate fake lemon even more than I love real lemon, and unfortunately most of the time, store-bought lemon-flavoured things are pretty…
