There are some celebrity chefs, foodie personalities and bloggers that I love, and I rush to cook or bake whatever I see them make – people like The Barefoot Contessa, Claire Saffitz and of course Smitten Kitchen. But weirdly, there’s another subset of chefs that I love even though I NEVER make any of their......
My brother Joel texted me back at the beginning of June: “Dessert Person banana bread out today, may have to put it up against mom’s banana muffins”. I immediately got excited about a Banana Bread face-off/blind taste test/throwdown because our Mom’s Banana Muffins are THE BEST. We’ve been eating them our whole lives, so I......
Bakers Against Racism activated once again in April, to stand against Asian Hate in light of recent hate crimes against the AAPI community. I knew I wanted to participate right away, and launched a Spring Treat Box with all proceeds going to the Chinese Canadian Council for Social Justice. I also matched all treat box......
Even though I declared last year that my Champagne & Cookies party had come to an end, I found myself missing it this year. I guess that’s the difference between making a decision yourself versus having a global pandemic make it for you. Normally I would have spent the month of November in cookie brainstorming......
Well, here it is, my childhood in a bowl. You know, I don’t think it ever even crossed my mind that there was something that could be considered weird about 5 Cup Salad until my sister-in-law Debbie came on the scene in the early 2000s. She took one look at it at a family gathering......
Last week I texted my friend Lusina to see if she had any treat requests for my upcoming visit to see her and her baby twins. At first she said no, and that I shouldn’t go to any trouble (I mean, has she met me? It’s my joy in life to fulfil treat requests!). But......
Well, it couldn’t all be smooth sailing as we made it to the end of our Baked journey. This week’s recipe for Coconut Snowball Cupcakes was kind of a bust for me. I decided to tackle the Baked boys’ notoriously fussy cooked frosting one last time, even though it hasn’t worked for me in the......
Happy New Year, bakers! After a pretty busy Fall and holiday season, I was excited to check the Baked Sunday Mornings schedule and get back into it. To my surprise, there are only 10 recipes left! I’m going to try my best to make each of them and bring this epic, 10 year journey to......
I consider myself to be a banana bread expert. No recipe in the world will ever live up to the banana bread my Mom made when I was growing up, which is perfect in every way. Since I already know I’ll never find a better recipe, I have a lot of fun trying BB variations......
I’m so obsessed with Harry & Meghan I don’t even know where to begin. When the news first broke that they were together, I was like, what? That girl from Suits? But with encouragement from my friend Krishna, I opened my heart to this royal romance and was so excited for their wedding. Kristine was once......
