Pavlova is my favourite dessert, and it is especially lovely in the summer. There’s nothing better than the light and airy combination of crisp meringue, whipped cream, and fresh summer fruits to cap off a meal on a warm summer evening. This sheet pan pavlova …
Cornbread is one of those things I rarely make, but every time I do, I find myself asking why I don’t make it more often. It’s so delicious, versatile, and dead easy to make. These Brown Butter Cornbread Muffins are my elevated twist on a classic cornbread. I add fresh corn kernels into the batter for an extra pop of flavour to complement the rich, nutty tones of the brown butter. These muffins are perfect in summer while corn is in season, but they’ll be fabulous alongside a bowl of chili in the winter too. Continue reading Brown Butter Cornbread Muffins

Asparagus season is one of the true joys of spring. I love asparagus because it is so versatile; it can be used in salads, soups, quiches, and tarts, or just served on its own with minimal dressing up. This recipe for roasted asparagus with lemon-caper sauce is a perfect example of letting asparagus shine on its own with minimal other ingredients. The lemon-caper sauce adds a lovely salty and tangy brightness to the asparagus, and everything is just better with Parmesan cheese, so I threw some shaved Parmesan on top too—delicious!
