You might have had strawberry rhubarb pie, but have you tried blackberry rhubarb? This is what happens in summer, when you look at the abundance of gorgeous fresh stuff in your fridge and don’t want to let anything go to waste: pie happens. First, though, you text your family and ask, blackberry & rhubarb: yes […]
Berry Meringue Torte
Also known as a berry pavlova, or meringue log? Naming recipes is almost as hard as naming boys. This berry meringue was Gemma’s birthday dessert request, and I made it again this weekend with just strawberries to be all red and white for Canada Day.

Frozen Raspberry Cheesecake
This is one of my favourite recipes for a fresh, light dessert after a heavy dinner of something like burgers or steak. It’s so easy and can be made WAAAAAAY ahead so you don’t have to do any dessert prep on the actual day of your gathering! It’s also a handy one to have on […]
