Coconut Lime Cupcakes with Raspberry Jam and 7(ish)-Minute Frosting

March 24, 2018 By Korena in the Kitchen 1 Comment

You know when you volunteer to bring treats to work, and instead of making it easy on yourself and preparing the various components of said treat over a few days, you procrastinate and something inevitably takes longer than it should and you end up frosting cupcakes at 11 pm with your kitchen looking like this? (Is this just me?)

Thanksgiving Turchetta, Etc – aka The Best Turkey Ever

October 19, 2014 By Korena in the Kitchen 7 Comments

Turchetta, Etc | Korena in the KitchenThanksgiving here in Canada has come and gone, and with it came time with family and lots and lots of food. After the success of last year’s de-boned, rolled, and stuffed turkey, I knew wanted to try something equally – if not more – amazing. Enter the turchetta: a rolled turkey breast prepared in the style of porchetta, which is a roasted pork loin of infinite deliciousness. I’ve got to say, the turkey version is also pretty infinitely delicious, and less work than removing all the bones from a turkey!…

We hosted my parents for dinner and again, I cooked the turkey… but not just any turkey. This year, I took the opportunity cross an item off The List by de-boning*, stuffing, and rolling the turkey.

Strawberry Shortcake Torte

April 20, 2012 By Korena in the Kitchen 14 Comments

Today is my last day of work before an (unfortunately unpaid) four month summer vacation; an occasion which, I think, merits a cake. This strawberry shortcake torte actually made its appearance as dessert after Easter dinner, and it disappeared pretty darn quickly. Really though, what’s not to like? Lemon-scented sponge cake topped with marshmallowy meringue, layered with whipped cream and fresh strawberries….
