The many uses of Puff Pastry

I'm a big fan of puff pastry.  I love making it from scratch - I know, some people don't - but I do, go figure! The texture of the raw dough, the butter, the dimples on the folds to tell you exactly where you are in the process, therapeutic and relaxing.  If you have not [...]

Baileys Pumpkin Spice Latte Tiramisu

Yes, I jumped on the PSL bandwagon and really, who hasn't. Imitation is the sincerest form flattery isn't it! So I thought about this PSL craze that happens every year and how could I do one better. Inspired by a recipe from one of the Dieticians at the PC Cooking School, I did come up [...]

Almond Bars

This is a recipe from a book called "Blissful Brownies".  My Minneapolis princess sent it to me years ago and I go to it for innovative ideas.  This is a great recipe - just a few ingredients that come together in one bowl (well a medium size bowl for the dry ingredients and a soup bowl for the [...]

You can't miss them, they are all over the place right now! Yes I'm talking berries, peaches, plums - little bundles of goodness that scream summer and burst in your mouth with sweet and sometimes tart sensations. It's all good though, for every tart berry there are many many sweet ones. I had a private [...]
