Recipe: Lemon and Raspberry Tarts with Ruby Chocolate
Yes, I went to the Ruby Chocolate demo, and yes, I pre-ordered a big bag of ruby chocolate, so there are probably going to be a few ruby chocolate recipes on this blog in the near future. For those unfamiliar…
Recipe: Almond biscuits with Davidson Plum Powder and Ruby Ganache
I know. I know. This is a completely ridiculous recipe to share because it’s basically all obscure ingredients. And do you want to know how it came about? It came about because we had a bake sale to fundraise for…
Recipe: Coconut Macaroons (Gluten Free)

Recipe: Christmassy Almond Butter Cookies (vegan and gluten free and almost healthy)
Ah, December. No matter what I do, it seems to get away from me, and this year, more than ever. I wound up doing most of my Christmas Baking last weekend – all day on Sunday, in fact – and…
Recipe: Herman the German Peach and Apricot Cake
I have a Herman the German sourdough cake starter! Does anyone want one? (No, seriously, I mean it – Herman is a delightful fellow, but I think he was a Tribble in a past life, and as a result, one…
