I’ve been giving Tres Leches Cake the side-eye for years now. In theory, it always sounded good: a vanilla sponge cake, soaked with a mixture of three different kinds of milk, topped with whipped cream. In reality, I was convinced it was actually just a soggy mess, and I think I’ve bought the stuff to......

The first time I made this cheesecake was either 2002 or 2003. I think I made it for Easter and it was an absolute disaster. I remember it leaked all over the bottom of the oven, resulting in a smoke filled kitchen. I remember the mangoes I used weren’t quite ripe enough, which I didn’t......

I feel like everyone was slowly coming out of hibernation this month, and all of a sudden April was packed with stuff to do. I’ve already written about a few things (YEASTER, Gastropost’s 100th Mission Party, Easter) but here are a few more foodie related activities I got up to: I went to Spadina Museum......

Almost eight years ago, I made my brother and sister-in-law’s wedding cake (you can read about that little adventure here). It was carrot cake, and I haven’t eaten it or made it since! The recipe I used was from Anna Olson, and it’s perfect. It’s dense and hydrated and has pineapple in it as well.......

This week was Gastropost’s 100th Mission, and to celebrate, we got to create our own mission! I was thinking back to the first few Missions I did back in the summer of 2012, and of course when my thoughts turn to summer treats, that means only one thing to me: S’MORES! For my S’mores mission......

I hope everyone had a great Easter yesterday! I had my parents over for a feast of Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf, Mac & Cheese, Twice-Baked Potatoes and a big green salad. This is what happens when you make your Mom watch The Pioneer Woman with you everyday when you’re on vacation! Everything was delicious and it......

This is the second Baked Sunday Morning in a row where I was nervous about the recipe. I’ve never made a soufflé before, and actually now that I think about it, I don’t think I’ve ever eaten one before either. The only thing I knew was that they’re notorious for deflating or sinking if you’ve......

When I was growing up, pancakes weren’t a frequent breakfast option in our house, but when we did have them, they always came out of a box (sorry Mom!). I legitimately did not realize you could make pancakes without the box mix until I was like 23 and saw Christine Cushing make them on the......

I’ve been posting a lot of dinner recipes lately, and I love it. I’m on a hot streak of kitchen hits and I have to document them here or I totally forget about them. I’ve actually made this TWICE in the past two months, which may not seem like a big deal, but to me......

I’m very emotionally invested in the birthdays of my co-workers. If I know it’s your birthday, and you’re in the office, there will be treats on your special day. I don’t care if you won’t tell me the actual day (I celebrate birthmonths too), or don’t want to disclose your age (irrelevant to birthday treats)......
