Chocolate Raspberry Wonton Parcels

February 13, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 9 Comments

Yesterday I played with my food. With Valentine’s Day coming up and a bunch of wonton wrappers coming up to their expiration date, I thought why not come up with my own Chinese New Year/Valentine’s Day treats? What a payoff! These are easy and baked, not fried so I indulged in more than one. I […]

How To Make Roasted Chestnuts

December 18, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 5 Comments

Oh the idea of making roasted chestnuts sounds so nostalgic, so heartwarming. I had no idea that it would be this challenging. Now for most people with a whole set of sharp knives and strong fingers, you probably will not find it as challenging as I did. You can read all about my knife issues […]

How To Make Candied Chestnuts

December 18, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 4 Comments

So I took two totally different approaches from Joy of Cooking and The Professional Pastry Chef and came up with my own way to make candied chestnuts. I took one cup of freshly roasted chestnuts, 1/2 cup of water and 1/2 cup of sugar and put them in a sauce pan. I brought them to […]

Soothing Hazelnut Baileys Milk

The idea of warm milk never warmed my heart (or my stomach for that matter) but when I saw Ricardo make his Soothing Almond Milk on The Food Network, I just had to try something like that! Milk with the flavour of nuts simmered into it? It seemed like a nutty tea and perfect for […]

Christmas Cookies: Caramel Pecan Treasures

If I had to pick my favourite Christmas cookie that I baked last year it would have to be Taste of Home’s Caramel Pecan Treasures. As you will see they were kind of a pain to make but truly, I think these are worth the effort. They taste like Turtle cookies! These are truly winner […]

Candied Pecans

I learned how to make sugared/candied pecans when I found the “perfect salad recipe” at foodtv.ca. When guests come to visit, I always make this salad and what makes it unique and special are the candied pecans. I have tried making candy and I can tell you, most of the time it is so finicky […]

Tutorial: Pecan Pie

July 13, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 5 Comments

I love the show Christine Cushing Live and the host and I have very similar food sensibilities so when she said she made a less sugary pecan pie than most, I knew I had to try it. You can find the recipe here. What I did not realize is that there is such a thing […]

Recipe Review: Lebanese Baklawa

April 30, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 5 Comments

On the weekend friends of mine were telling me of a less-sweet version of Baklava, they said that it was Lebanese and super delicious. I really love Baklava but I prefer my desserts to be a little less sweet and as you probably know, Baklava is over-the-top sweet most of the time. So I started […]
