I am an experienced cook and cooking instructor, event co-ordinator and total health freak living in a rural/cottage area of Eastern Ontario. I’ve spent many years studying almost every current diet and diet theory and read obsessively about what one should and shouldn’t eat for optimal health. I’ve come to specialize in making healthy food taste extremely good. Paradoxically, I have a passion for baking and absolutely love making baked goods for others to enjoy, as I eat gluten-free and lactose-free. I really enjoy sharing my knowledge of food with others.
This blog has a variety of recipes – a little bit of everything as I have several kids spread around the country (and globe), here is a quick access to mom’s cooking. You can rely on these recipes being well-tested and I’ve worked hard to write them in a very legible and understandable way. Enjoy.

Amazing Andrea!!! Great job. Look forward to coming back here many, many times.
I like your site. Clean. Easy to navigate.
I snagged the aspargus for my background to continue enjoying the visual. Your philosophy of cooking fits my agenda for health improvement and maintenance. The dressings are just what I need right now. Thank you, Andrea!
thanks for your support! 🙂
Andrea,
I love your website and can not wait to try some of the recipes!
thanks Michelle! I’ll be trying and posting some of the recipes you gave me. I bought a long pan and platter for the layered cake. 🙂
Not only are you amazing when you cook but you know how to capture the soul of the food or the moment with your photographic eye! Beautiful and intimate pictures of the event of Saturday. I am impress … and flattered by your words and picts!
The desserts you researched and put together for the vernissage were just out of this world. Kids and much older ones all loved it. It was a complement to the magic of that day. And the class we had, learning how to create them, was so fun, and the result was tasty! I just can’t beleive I can do those elegant desserts now!
Thank you, Andrea!! I am looking for our next cooking class! Hum… until then, I think I will try to make that layered cake with bananas… yummy! I love how you make cooking/baking exciting and so inspiring!
thank you LInda for those kind words! Teaching you is always fun and a pleasure – your vision inspires my classes. 🙂
Andrea, love your blog! I have tried several of your recipes in the last few weeks and they are all delicious, easy to follow and turn out great.
Hope you come back and teach some classes in the fall in Crow Lake!
Keep those recipes coming!
Marion

Andrea, I will forever remember the chocolate beet cake that you made for Laurie when you visited when she was fighting cancer. I truly enjoyed that moment, and the absolutely delicious cake. Laurie treasured you. oxo
