Beer Battered Deep Fried Turkey. One of the most delicious ways ever to serve leftover turkey. Many will actually prefer these leftovers to the original roast turkey dinner!

Blueberry Pavlova Cake. A light as air, melt in your mouth, luscious dessert which just happens to be gluten free too! Substitute any berry or fruit jam you like!

Apricot Fruitcake. This light apricot fruitcake recipe takes our very popular Apricot Raisin Cake and turns it into a moist and delicious Christmas fruitcake.

Maple Brown Sugar Apples for Toutons, Pancakes or Waffles. We love these on toutons at our house as a Canadian twist on a Newfoundland favourite. 

Queen Anne Squares. Another popular cookie bar in Newfoundland, especially at the Holidays. It reminds me of a cookie bar version of the Mounds candy bar.

Newfoundland Jam Jams. Jam Jams from Purity Factories are a Newfoundland institution. Here’s a recipe for my homemade version of this local molasses and jam cookie classic.

Christmas Plum Pudding. Bringing back a traditional favourite. A real old fashioned British favourite, with no suet and modern day tweaks to make it perfectly.

Parkin is a traditional sticky oat spice cake from northern England that’s enjoyed on November 5, Guy Fawkes Night, i.e. Bonfire Night!

Auntie Crae’s Ginger Sugar Cookies. These are sort of a less intense ginger cookie but their flavour and texture is still excellent and they are still very, very addictive to ginger lovers.
