Caramel Gelato

Mom’s favourite flavour. Whenever we would go to a restaurant, she would ask the poor waiter to recite all the available ice cream and sorbet flavours, when really what she wants to ask is, ‘Do you have caramel?’ If you…

Cranberry & White Chocolate Shortbread

October 30, 2015 1

This recipe is unlike the store bought shortbread – it’s tender, crumbly, and melts in your mouth. If you plan to take these to your family and friends, be sure to pack them delicately! Once I brought these to studio…

My father in law’s favourite. Actually I can never tell if it’s the chocolate he likes or the alcohol that’s in it. Either way whenever I visit him I always bring with me a bag of these little nuggets. If…

Caramel Croissant Pudding

My husband’s family’s favourite. I made it for them once, and they’ve been chasing me for the recipe since, so here you go! Like all bread puddings, it’s best to use stale croissants, because it soaks up the custard in…
