Silk Chocolate Cream Pie with Pecan Crust from The Dahlia Bakery Cookbook: Sweetness in Seattle

This is a showstopper of a pie with rather sophisticated flavours - intense chocolate filling with salty, crunchy crust. Can't say I cared much for the crust on its own but it was a great foil, both texturally... read more >

Chocolate Revel Bars

Chewy oatmeal cookie base and a creamy, chocolate-y filling topped with a crispy oatmeal streusel - if you love oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, you’ll love these.

They start with a standard oatmeal cookie dough of butter, sugar, eggs, flour (you can use whole wheat, no one will ever know) and oatmeal. Part of the dough is pressed into the bottom of the baking pan and the balance is sprinkled on the top of a chocolate filling made of sweetened condensed milk and melted chocolate chips. It bakes in only 30 minutes and can yield up to 63 bar cookies.

Apparently this bar cookie was popular in the 60’s…….I’m not sure why it ever went out of style…..it’s faster and easier than baking 5 dozen individual cookies (can you tell I’m not a fan of doing that?) and just as delicious.

Sauteed Fiddleheads

Fiddleheads are here! This is one of the foods I look forward to every spring and this simple preparation is my favourite way of eating them.

After removing the brown papery husks and thoroughly washing them, the fiddleheads need to be parboiled or steamed until they’re tender. This is an important step as they should never be eaten raw or undercooked. A quick sauté in olive oil with garlic and a squeeze of lemon juice to finish allows their delicate flavour to shine.
