This recipe was created by Daphna Rabinovich, a talented baker I worked with at the David Wood Food Shop in Toronto. She used chocolate chips and walnuts in her version. I chop up bittersweet chocolate into chunks and omit the nuts. This is a very fast and easy recipe, great for those times when [...]

Week # 7 Dueling Ciabattas
Posted in Bread Bakers Apprentice Challenge on June 30, 2009 | 13 Comments »
At one time I subscribed to about 13 different magazines, most of them food related. However, over time I have let most of them lapse because I just never had time to read them. Now I only get Gourmet and Cook’s Illustrated. Even with just those two, I am still behind in my reading. However, in [...]
Margo’s Challah with Elaine’s Topping
Posted in Bread, tagged Challah on June 13, 2009 | 17 Comments »
This is the most delicious challah I have ever eaten. Anytime I am invited anywhere for Shabbat dinner, I offer to bring my challah. It’s amazing how often I am invited back. This recipe is actually a marriage of two different recipes. The challah recipe comes from my friend Margo. The topping part of the [...]
Week # 6 Peter Reinhart’s Challah
Posted in Bread Bakers Apprentice Challenge on June 13, 2009 | 9 Comments »
I approached this week’s Bread Baker’s Apprentice Challenge with a bit of trepidation. I have been making challah once a week for about 12 years now. For the past five years I have been making the same recipe and my family loves it. As the old saying goes, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” However, [...]
Week # 5: Casatiello
Posted in Bread Bakers Apprentice Challenge, tagged Cheese on June 9, 2009 | 6 Comments »
There are some people that believe certain events occur in their life for a predetermined reason and others that believe that incidents are just determined by a random series of events. I have to admit that I usually flip flop between the two ends of the spectrum. Six weeks ago, I was surfing the net, doing research for an article I was writing for my [...]
Linda’s Corn Chowder
Posted in Soups, tagged corn chowder, soup on June 6, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
This recipe was inspired by my friend Linda. She is the one who introduced me to Imagine Organic soups in tetra-pack packaging. They come in several flavours (creamy corn, butternut squash, tomato to name a few) and are fantastic for making quick soups. It’s a great pantry staple. The creamy corn does not in fact [...]
Week #4 Brioche:A Tale of Genetic Mutation
Posted in Bread Bakers Apprentice Challenge on June 5, 2009 | 7 Comments »
Wow, we’re closing in on a month of bread baking already. In week # 4 of the Bread Baker’s Apprentice Challenge we made Brioche. I have to say there was a lot of talk and questions leading up to this challenge amongst my fellow challengers. Peter Reinhart presents three options for this bread. Rich Man’s [...]
Bagels 2 “The Cheddar Jalapeno Sequel”
Posted in Bread Bakers Apprentice Challenge on June 3, 2009 | 4 Comments »
Just a quick post to update the bagel story. When I originally made the bagels last week my husband was out of town so he never got any fresh ones. I love him so much I wanted him to experience them right out of the oven. Actually, that’s not quite true. I do love him but [...]
