Cranberry Sauce
Canned cranberry sauce is wrong on so many levels. Gelatinous, too sweet and full of preservatives. YUCK. It is so easy to make it fresh. Even though we rarely make a turkey, I always make this sauce. It also pairs amazingly well with chicken, beef and pork and is AMAZING on sandwiches. I prefer a…

Panettone Chocolate Bread Pudding
I think bread pudding is one of my favourite things on earth. I love it sweet and I love it savoury. The cool thing about it is it can pretty much be made with any bread or anything bread like. Croissants, sourdough, brioche and even banana bread. YES! It makes perfect sense that dense and…

Roasted Plum Tomato Sauce
When I’ve got a bit of extra time I love making this sauce. It’s actually really easy and the flavour from roasting the vegetables will take your pasta, pizza or whatever you’re pairing it with, to the next level. I usually line a baking sheet with parchment for easy cleanup. Once blended, the sauce is…
