Lemon Strawberry Pavlova. This beautiful version of the classic dessert crosses the flavours of lemon meringue pie with strawberries and cream.

Vanilla Caramel Pastries a.k.a. Caramel Flakies. A copycat version of the classic Canadian snack cake from Vachon. Easy to make using frozen puff pastry.

Strawberry Vanilla Butter Cake. A simple old fashioned vanilla butter cake with easy vanilla frosting plus diced strawberries get combined with the frosting at the centre. Simple but delicious.

Plum Tart. Simple is almost always best & this plum tart is a prime example. A few simple ingredients atop a sour cream crust. What could be better?

Blueberry Tea Buns. Serve them warm from the oven just as they are or drizzle on a simple vanilla glaze to fancy them up for teatime.

The best vanilla pound cake recipe can be an elusive thing to chase. I’ve tried many recipes over the years and have tried to develop my own recipe several times to get the exact balance of elements that make  for a perfect pound cake.

This black and white cheesecake is inspired by the famous cookie. I think it looks so much more elegant than marbling the chocolate and vanilla together.

Bumbleberry Vanilla Flan. This dessert is so easy to make but so impressive to serve. It’s a great way to use surplus berries in your fridge or freezer too!

Strawberry Custard Tarts aka Tim Tarts! A nostalgic look back at a classic Canadian treat from the 80’s and a recipe to make them at home. Ideal for Canada Day!

Vanilla Mango Jam, a very simple but elegant little jam that’s perfect with scones and cream for teatime or as the filling for a special cake.
