	Cinnamon & Almond Meringue Star Cookies (Zimtsterne) Recipe by Cookin Canuck I knew it wasn’t going to be an ordinary brunch when everyone at the table pulled out DSLR cameras (except me, with my tiny – but proud – point and shoot) and the waiter brought over an extra table so that we could arrange our cookie exchange treats for their photo shoots. It could only be a meeting of food bloggers. Thanks to the…	1 vote 1093 views
	Sea Salt Caramels Recipe by Cookin Canuck Sea Salt Caramels RecipeI would like to say that I am not easily swayed by trends. However, my past history, particularly that of my more youthful years, says otherwise. Rainbow jeans, rugby pants, knickers (seriously), anything mauve, jelly shoes, Madonna bracelets, feathered bangs, Duran Duran (the shy Roger Taylor was my…	1 vote 1064 views
	Mini Pepper Biscuits with Creamy Blue Cheese Spread Recipe by Cookin Canuck The room was buzzing with chatter and laughter. Everyone seemed to be waiting for the next appetizer to appear. When the bubbling Brie Cheese & Balsamic Caramelized Onion Flatbread sidled out of the oven, there were audible groans from the two women perched on the barstools at my kitchen island. A man across the kitchen muttered to…	1 vote 1549 views
	Chocolate & Peanut Butter Meringue Cookies Recipe by Cookin Canuck When I was young, I believed my grandmother could do anything. To start, she was the family authority on birds.

	Crockpot Braised Country Style Pork Ribs Recipe in Tomato & Red Wine Sauce by Cookin Canuck Crockpot Braised Country Style Pork Ribs Recipe in Tomato & Red Wine SauceI don’t know what has taken me so long to cook with country style pork ribs.

	Mum's Savory Beef and Potato Curry Recipe by Cookin Canuck Sweat and tears. That’s what one family friend requests when invited for an evening of my mum’s savory curry, and my mum is always more than happy to oblige. (Yes, I spell Mum with a “u”. I say “zed”, too. You know, the last letter of the alphabet.) Our friend continues to spoon the curry into his mouth, despite the fact that his beet…	1 vote 1180 views
	Brown Butter & Chocolate Oatmeal Bar Recipe by Cookin Canuck During the Olympics opening ceremony in Vancouver, my family started to question my mental stability. As Canadian poet Shane Koyczan stood on the stage and recited his poem, We Are More, I let the tears stream down my cheeks unimpeded. Okay, I may have openly wept and hiccuped. As he spoke of all of the things that were at the heart…	1 vote 1734 views
	Heath Bar Chocolate & Toffee Sugar Cookies Recipe by Cookin Canuck There is nothing more fun than making a big mess in the kitchen and having a batch of cookies to show for it. If you are someone who likes to keep your kitchen meticulously neat while orchestrating your baking masterpieces, then do not invite children into your kitchen. Or me, for that matter. By the time that my eldest son and I were…	1 vote 2205 views
	Baked German Apple Pancake Recipe with Nutmeg & Ginger by Cookin Canuck There is something so reassuring about Sunday brunch. While the smoky aroma of bacon curls through the air and a cup of tea warms my hands, I feel heartened knowing that the whole day stretches in front of us with no obligations. While Saturdays are usually packed with soccer and basketball games, errands, and dinners out, Sundays…	1 vote 2984 views
