Inspiration:  Favorite after school treat as a child

 When these come out of the oven, they are crispy on the outside and fluffy and tender on the inside.  Delicious!  Make a big batch and freeze them.   Not overly sweet, they make an easy, ready-to-go snack or breakfast. 



Jumbo Fluffy Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies:  Makes 16 large cookies

  • 4 very ripe bananas 
  • 1T (15ml) of vanilla extract or vanilla paste
  • 2T (30ml) of non dairy milk of your choice (I used vanilla rice milk)
  • 2/3 cup (150ml) of softened vegan margarine (Becel now makes one)
  • 3/4 (135g) cup of lightly packed brown sugar
  • 2 3/4 (330g) cups of flour
  • 2t of baking powder
  • 1/4t of baking soda
  • 1/4t of salt
  • 1 generous cup of dark chocolate chips

How to Make Them:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and place two racks in the upper portion of your oven.


In a medium bowl, purée the ripe bananas (4) using a potato masher.  Add the brown sugar (3/4 cup-135g), the vanilla (1T-15ml), the softened vegan margarine (2/3 cup -160g) and the non-dairy milk (2T-30ml).  Whisk together to combine.


In a separate bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the flour (2 3/4 cups -330g), the baking powder (2t), the baking soda (1/4t) and the salt (1/4t).  

 Add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture and stir to combine. Add the chocolate chips (1 generous cup).

Place generous spoonfuls of cookie batter on a parchment lined baking sheet.  Bake in the upper portion of your oven for 18 minutes, turning once for even colouring.  Cool on rack.  Can be frozen.  Enjoy!

    Absolutely delicious! I made them in our apartment and my roommate had a bite and then went out to buy the ingredients and make his own!

Summertime Chocolate Fondue

By
It's summertime and the fruit is amazing.  Recently, when we were invited to a party and I asked if I could bring something, this idea came to mind.  Actually, it was inspired by my husband who suggested we buy a wonderful chocolate fondue that we found in Switzerland (that is actually from France) to bring back as gifts for friends and family in Montreal. The fondue preparation itself is presented in clay jars that stay very warm once heated and work extremely well to keep the chocolate melted and at the right temperature.  We bought two flavours:  Dark Chocolate 70% cocoa with red pepper aroma (actually quite spicy and really good) and Dark Chocolate 70% cocoa with sea salt.  Both were amazing and added a little twist to the traditional basic chocolate fondue.  The jar needs to be heated on medium power in the microwave for two minutes at a time until the chocolate is the right temperature and consistency.  Very easy.

Roasted Butternut Squash Soup with Smoked Cream

By
Add a piece of crisp smoked bacon for texture and roasted seeds This is one of those great recipes that is easy and can be dressed up a bit for any occasion. The flavor of the soup is really good and the smoked cream adds a little subtle surprise in the mouth. We served this at a cocktail party in little shot glasses with a breadstick and it was quite a hit. Infusing milk and cream are quite popular in France.  The principle is always the same in that the liquid is heated and left to cool with the ingredients it is being infused with.

Chocolate Babka

When we lived in France, I learned that every dish you create, prepare and serve must tell a story.  This way, when you offer something to someone, you share with them a little piece of who you are and a little bit of your own life story.   The meals and dishes you choose to create always reflect happy, enjoyable moments and this, in turn, infuses the dish with love.   This is very important to me and is what inspires me when I cook.  I think if you cook this way, it will be hard to create a bad meal.
