Warming, sweet, crunchy, chewy, and moreish, these cookies are a favourite of ours when the weather starts to turn in the autumn. I think it’s the delicious complex flavour that comes from the molasses—a syrup derived from brown sugar that is used in making rum.
As soon as I tasted Seed to Culture’s locally grown organic ginger, I wanted to use it in my bakes. I thought a ginger cookie was the best way to celebrate this amazing plant. You can absolutely use store-bought ground ginger, but you really must try making your own. It’s a revelation! The flavour is floral and familiar but has so many levels. See the Note for how to dehydrate fresh ginger and blend into a powder.
It’s a well-known fact that I will add mint to just about any baked good, dessert, or cocktail I feel will benefit from it, and blondies are no exception. These ooey-gooey, buttery blondies are an excellent basic recipe on their own, but with the addition of mint extract and chopped candy canes, they become the perfect Christmas treat to leave out for Santa!
I’m not a dessert person, generally speaking, but I’m crazy for apple tart. Flaky pastry and soft apples . . . what’s not to like? This is my favorite dessert.
Sticky, sweet, spicy, and juicy. If you are on the fence about cauliflower, this is the recipe that will convert you! This easy-to-make dinner is a go-to for me when I’m craving takeout vibes. Serve this cauliflower on a bed of fluffy steamed rice and you’re in for a firecrackin’ good time!
Back in 1997, we were invited to participate in Eat to the Beat, a charity gala to raise funds and awareness for Willow Breast & Hereditary Cancer Support. In its first year, chefs were asked to prepare a dessert or sweet. We chose to prepare layered barfi, a milk-based Indian-style fudge traditionally made and shared on festive occasions. I’m taking that same base recipe but giving it a twist—this is a new and special combination I created especially for my brother, Paresh, who is the biggest chocolate lover I know and who also fancies the flavor of orange. I’m adopting this classic pairing of chocolate and orange and applying it to our traditional barfi recipe so it’s modern, exquisite, and exceptionally decadent with vanilla, dark chocolate, and a hint of juicy citrus.
