Because we’ve received a really (really, really) large amount of zucchini, I’ve developed a new appreciation for gardeners and the creative recipes so many people share to help use up zucchini crops. We’ve had some delicious muffins (thanks Joanne Chang-Meyers) and today, we baked this delicious and moist Vegan Zucchini Bread recipe from the website…

If necessity is the mother of invention, then overabundance is the brainchild of resourcefulness. This week our CSA share was filled with zucchini squash. In an effort to not waste a single thing, I turned to using zucchini in baked goods. After all, isn’t that what everyone does with an over-abundance of zucchini? Joanne Chang’s…

Up until about a week ago, we have been without an oven for about two months. As you can imagine, that put quite a damper on baking during our self-quarantine; no home-baked bread, and no morning baked treats.

I’ve been a baguette fan for a long time, and even though I’ve discovered there are just too many variables/barriers preventing me from baking a truly French baguette, I keep trying. Baking a French traditional baguette is my quixotic challenge in baking. French bread flour is definitely different – it is a harder type of…

With all due respect, Montreal has the best bagels that I’ve ever eaten. Ever. Hands-down. No contest. We always leave Montreal with at least a dozen ready for the freezer as well as a few for the ride home. Basically, bagel worshippers fall into two very loyal schools regarding which of two Montreal bagel bakers…
