Well I’ve had a couple of things I needed to do on the gluten-free baking front, one being to work on a new loaf to add to the mix, and a cinnamon raisin loaf seemed like just the thing.
One of the other things on the list was to incorporate chia seeds into more of the [...]
The experimenting with Timtana flour continues! I’m about half-way through the sample package I received and so far, I’m finding I like this flour a lot in yeast-raised bread products, with one major exception… this banana bread!
But before we get into the recipe, here’s a couple of things you need to know about me:
I loathe [...]
A quick lentil soup that is hearty enough for dinner! While you can use plain brown lentils for this, do try and get the French Lentils (Lentils de Puy). They have a richer flavour, and have a slightly firmer texture than the brown ones. They look like beautiful little speckled stones in their [...]
We had a good run of blood oranges available in the markets up here, and now its tapering off, and I found myself with 2 left in the fridge. What to do? Turn them into cocktails!

One of the “magic” ingredients in these [...]
The other day, I picked up some freshly ground red-fife flour from Cliff Leir at Fol Epi bakery. I’ve been using the Red Fife flour from SaltSpring Mills and been quite happy with it, BUT I found out that Cliff is using grain from the same organic farmer in Saskatchewan AND, its milled fresh the [...]
I’ve been playing around with teff flour lately, and, given the weather, been craving spice cookies. It was only a matter of time before the two came together!
One of my favourite cookies are molasses-spice cookies. Not too sweet, slightly chewier and puffier than gingersnaps, and rolled in sugar just before you bake them for a [...]
Do you love those granola bars from the supermarket? Take a look at the ingredients list on the side of the box, and more than likely, theres a scary-huge list of ingredients. According to a NYTimes piece from the spring, a Kellog’s Nutri-grain bar contains ingredients from 9 different countries! Supply-chain management strikes healthy convenience [...]
