Pumpkin, Date and Walnut Bread
I know, at least in my part of the world we are about as far away from pumpkin spice season as you can get. Before we step fully into spring and away from the seasons of coziness and sweaters, let’s give pumpkin one more chance to shine. Makes 1 loaf Ingredients: Directions: Notes:

Herb Soda Bread
Soda bread is a crumbly, tender bread with a crisp crust. It doesn’t rely on yeast, so if you forget to start bread dough rising earlier in the day (who me?) it has your back. Soda bread can be on the sweet side, almost like a scone, or it can be savoury. This recipe definitely…

Cardamom Ginger Rolls
Where I live, we have just come through a bit of a cold snap. Nothing too serious, but just enough to justify a little extra baking and some warm spices. These are a slightly spicy, slightly less sweet riff on cinnamon rolls. In fact, if you were looking for cinnamon rolls and happened to land…

Carrot Walnut Muffins with Red Lentils
Carrots for breakfast? If they are good enough for Bugs Bunny, they are good enough for me. Especially if those carrots come in the form of spiced muffins with crunch walnuts.

Apple Butter Rolls
Imagine what would happen if an apple pastry and a cinnamon roll had a baby. You would have the tactile pleasure of pulling part perfectly baked dough spirals combined with the fresh bite of sweet apples and cinnamon. Sticky fingers are guaranteed. These are slightly sweet but not so much that they would be out…

Gingerbread Biscotti
From lattes to houses and even people, we are coming into the time of year where everything is made out of gingerbread. I, for one, am here for it. Gingerbread cookies are great, and they are at their best dunked in coffee, tea or even wine. They can be a bit fragile though and sometimes…

Sweet Potatoes Anna with Parmesan and Thyme
This recipe is inspired by potatoes Anna, a classic dish where layers of potatoes and butter bring out the best in each other. This time, sweet potatoes get their chance to shine in a bath of herbs, sharp cheese and, of course, butter! Get ready for soft and creamy sweet potatoes with ruffly, crispy edges…

Chai and Spice Pumpkin Bread
There are a lot of classic pumpkin bread recipes which call for water. I’m always a bit suspicious of water in recipes – it has its place, but it can be a missed opportunity for another layer of flavour. In this cake chai takes the place of water, adding a subtle and welcome earthy richness.…
