Lemon-ricotta cake – gluten-free

It is surprisingly moist and lemony – hard to believe it is gluten-free. Continue reading
chicken piccata (lemon chicken)
This is a family favourite that I’ve been making for years. It’s a classic and I’ve been asked several times to post the recipe and method. It is essentially easy with relatively few ingredients, however, it does involve some technique. Once you complete the recipe following all the steps, you will have a good understanding of it’s simplicity but also of the necessity of the technicalities. It is fairly quick to prepare (and even moreso when you know how to do it), but I find prepping the ingredients ahead allows you to cook it quickly and efficiently. I use coconut milk but feel free to substitute 35% cream. Continue reading
Blueberry Scone Cake
I love this little cake so much. Not only is it original and easy, but it’s absolutely delicious. It will always be special to me since it is the last recipe I shared with my dear friend Chris before she passed away. We loved cooking together and sharing recipes, and I’ve been thinking about her so much, I felt compelled to share this recipe here. This cake is awesome for anytime of day, including breakfast. It’s buttery moistness and all around deliciousness will (hopefully) make you very happy. Continue reading
