To check if your baking powder is still active, pour 1/4 cup boiling water over 1/2 tsp baking powder. If it bubbles, it’s still good. If not, it’s no good! Background Dead baking powder is a common cause of cakes not rising, even if it’s not past the due date. This is because factors such as heat, humidity and jars not properly sealed will reduce the rising power of baking powder....
The situation was very bleak. It looked like there was no choice other than to send the bananas to freezer camp. Suddenly, one day after dinner – out of absolutely nowhere – Ashley’s Prince Charming (Roby aka Mr. Heart Beet), decided he wanted dessert. Ashley was trying not to eat any sugar (because she ate an entire coffee cake the week before) so she decided to sweeten the dessert with the overly ripe bananas....

For gifting, make Mini Christmas Cakes. They look adorable when wrapped! Christmas Cake I’m fussy about Christmas Cake because (speaking frankly) there are too many not-so-great-ones out there. Here’s how I like / don’t like my Christmas Cake: With or without alcohol – cake has to be just as good with or without booze (I mostly make it without – so it can be widely shared!); Not too much peel or citrus flavour – I’m just not a fan of biting into giant chunks of orange rind....
What is Coconut Burfi? Coconut burfi, also known as nariyal burfi, is a popular South Indian sweet made for all kinds of festivals and celebrations. Making this burfi can be a time-consuming process. Coconut burfi is traditionally made by hand-grating fresh coconuts and making a sugar syrup. But we’re taking a much easier approach with my recipe – which still tastes just like authentic coconut burfi. No need to scrape any coconuts, or cook sugar syrup, or continuously stir milk until it reduces....

Creamy baked fish on potato gratin This dish gives off very French-country vibes. Which, in hindsight, is rather unsurprising given it’s a recipe that our very own Chef JB just casually threw together one day. We ate it, loved it so much, declared it was “website-worthy” then proceeded to remake it…oh, I don’t know. Maybe 10, 12 times before we were fully happy with it and closed out all the “what ifs”?...
