One Spiced Hot Chocolate Cake through two camera lenses
Two weeks ago I had a blind date. With a girl. This is what my best friend told me when I described to her my meeting with lovely Alanna from One Tough Cookie blog. Back in August I got a surprising email from Alanna Lipson, my fellow Torontonian food blogger, whose recipes call my name…
Banana Bread
You say Banana. I say… Well, I say many things. Waffles, pancakes, muffins, puddings, caramelized and roasted bananas. With my new-found food intolerances I try not eat raw bananas too often, but as it often happens when something is not allowed, you tend to crave it. So, hence all the delicious banana flavoured concoctions. This recipe…
Strawberry Meringue Cake
It’s Canada Day here and since it’s Wednesday, we don’t get a long weekend, but instead a nice break in the middle of the week. I often go strawberry picking on July 1st, but it’s gloomy outside, so I decided to skip it this year. Besides, I’ve been baking so much lately that I can’t…

Best Ever Chocolate Vegan Cake
Last weekend was all about baking. I made 2 Chocolate Cake Loaves, 40 Peanut Butter Molasses Cookies, 10 Light Brioche Buns and 1 Banana-Pecan Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting. I feel tired just wring this… Chocolate cakes and most of the cookies were for a charity bake sale. I volunteer with the Forgotten Ones Cat Rescue…
Vegan Chocolate-Prune Cake
Sometimes I get creative when I describe vegan baking and I start using “egg-free” and “dairy-free” phrases. I find that a lot of people react badly when they hear “vegan” and “cake” in the same sentence, however “egg-free” and “dairy-free” encourages people to try. But no matter what I call it, the reality is that it is…
Blue Cheese, Pear and Walnut Cake
It’s been quite a long time since my last post here. I haven’t been cooking much, but I recently started to get back into the groove. I made a few things and they turned out pretty great. I also got a new camera – Nikon D700, so I am extremely excited and can’t wait to…
