Newfoundland Recipes

Traditional Newfoundland Pea Soup and Dough Boys. Made with leftover ham or salt beef, it’s a hearty local favourite that has warmed many a belly over the decades.

These gumdrop crinkle cakes are a memory from childhood and make an ideal lunchbox treat or after school snack.

Santa Farts. A no bake cherry almond treat that kids will love to help make, and a terrific cookie treat to leave for the big guy himself on Christmas Eve.

These Apricot Coconut Cookie Bars have a buttery shortbread base with a sweet apricot and coconut top layer that’s enriched with sweetened condensed milk.

These Blueberry Crumble Bars have a sweet blueberry compote between a buttery shortbread base and a graham crumb crumble topping; so delectable and freeze well too.

Orange Date Crumble Bars. A delicious citrus twist on traditional date crumbles or “Matrimonial Bars”. The buttery oatmeal and coconut crumble is what makes this recipe the best.

Tweed Squares a.k.a. “Tweedies.” Vanilla cake with flecks of grated chocolate baked in, topped with vanilla frosting and finished with a layer of chocolate. A Newfoundland favourite.

Best Seafood Dinner Ideas. From simple comfort food to indulgent seafood feasts, these are great celebration recipes for the Holidays and beyond.

Hazelnut Coconut Fruitcake. This delectable fruitcake is what happens at my house when I decide to clean out the baking cupboard after Christmas baking.

Newfoundland Blueberry Jam with lime, using low sugar pectin. Made with incredible Newfoundland wild blueberries. The hint of lime pairs beautifully with the berries and the low sugar recipe lets their natural flavour shine.
