These gumdrop crinkle cakes are a memory from childhood and make an ideal lunchbox treat or after school snack.
Newfoundland Molasses Raisin Tea Buns - my recipe for soft, delicious, sweet molasses raisin tea buns that can be made using cinnamon & nutmeg as well. Perfect for a mug up any time.
Super Crispy Fish and Chips - after years of experimenting I've perfected my homemade version of fish and chips that uses part rice flour in the batter recipe for guaranteed crunch.

Newfoundland Cold Plate - a traditional post Christmas favourite. Heres a simple guide to putting together this simple, nostalgic favourite of Newfoundlanders everywhere.
Lassy Mogs - a Newfoundland favourite; well spiced, soft cookies with a deep molasses flavour and filled with dried fruit and crunchy pecans. Irresistible!
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.
Newfoundland Date Squares or Date Crumbles is a recipe every local family knows and loves. The secret is having the right proportion of butter in the crumble and this recipe gets it just right.

Newfoundland Cherry Cake is a big local favourite especially during the Holidays. The secret in this recipe is undiluted evaporated milk for added richness.
A classic Newfoundland recipe that everyone's Mom or Nan made back in the day. It's often enjoyed at the Holidays and is a favourite for morning toast with gobs of melting butter.
Traditional Newfoundland tea buns are a cousin to scones and biscuits. Everyone's Mom or Nan made them. Perfect with a steaming cup of tea.

I was so glad to find this site. I grew up in Newfoundland in a small town call Burin. work in the fishery for 20 plus years. Cod was my favor fish to eat. My Mom and Dad would make home made fish cakes for the family ever second or third Saturday for supper. When i got marry i made them ever Saturday for supper i love them. The recipes that your Mother in-law use is the same one i been using for over 30 years and i love them. Thank you for the memory of growing up in Newfoundland. I live in Ontario now and it is hard to get a good piece of salt cod her, but when i do fish cakes are the first thing i make.
