Christmas Recipes

Auntie Crae’s Plantation Chews. Soft, chewy, crispy, nutty, caramel-y delicious! These flourless cookies are also easy to make gluten free!

Newfoundland Cherry Cake. A big local favourite especially during the Holidays. The secret in this recipe is undiluted evaporated milk for added richness.

Homemade Jammie Dodgers. A homemade version of the United Kingdom’s favourite cookie. Your favourite flavour of any good quality or homemade jam can be used in this recipe. Raspberry, apricot and plum are some delicious choices.

Best Loaf Cakes. Sometimes a smaller cake serves your needs better than a full sized dessert. These are great for weekday dessert, snacks, packed lunches or gift giving at any time of year.

Foolproof Chocolate Crackle Cookies. Super chocolatey cookies with a white crackled exterior appearance. Great for lunchboxes, after school snacks or a very pretty addition to afternoon tea. 

Strawberry Lamingtons, a.k.a. Strawberry Coconut Cake Squares, moist cubes of homemade vanilla cake get soaked in a combination of strawberry jello and jam and then rolled in coconut. An easy, pretty and very tasty treat that kids will love.

Chocolate Coconut Cake Squares a.k.a. Lamingtons, homemade white cake dipped in a decadent chocolate syrup and then rolled in coconut. An Australian fave!

The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies. After many years of recipes and experiments, this is the the final result of tweaking what I I think is the perfect chocolate chip cookie.

Lemon Thyme Roast Chicken. Whether unbrined or with the option of brining in lemon garlic, spices & thyme this is a super juicy and flavourful roast chicken recipe that makes the perfect Sunday dinner. 

Jamaican Rum Cake. The best recipe I’ve tried! A dense yet moist cake infused with a rum & butter syrup that just takes the deliciousness to a whole other level. Utterly irresistible!!
