It is great to be back home after three weeks of traveling in America and Canada. I’ve missed doing my Woman Crush Wednesday cooking tutorials on Snapchat (username blissbakery) and sharing the love on here as well. Today is the 64th WCW recipient and this chef is an icon. One of the most influential people in the foodie world, in fact she even ignited an entire food revolution. Alice Waters is the chef and creator of the famous Chez Panisse in Berkley, California. I had the pleasure of eating at her restaurant which is famous for its locally grown and organic ingredients. Alice Waters is called the “Mother of American Food” for a reason and has championed the Edible Schoolyard Project which is now in over 5,000 schools. Continue reading

Recipe: Woman Crush Wednesday
It is so nice to be back on track with my Woman Crush Wednesday series after a couple weeks break. It is the 60th time I have honored a female foodie with a love story here on the blog and a cooking tutorial on Snapchat. Since today is a special day we had to have a special culinary queen. And who better than Julia Child, the groundbreaking chef who is still posthumously inspiring millions of cooks! Continue reading
Recipe: “Free” To Be Banana Loaf
I’ve been under the weather the past few days and even missed my Woman Crush Wednesday cooking tutorial. The first time illness has gotten in the way of my fav day!

Recipe: Woman Crush Wednesday
Today is the 58th episode of Woman Crush Wednesday. If it is your first time joining, you are very welcome! It is my fav day of the week. While most look at it as hump day, I consider it happy day. Because I choose a fabulous female from the foodie world and shower her with love while I recreate one of her recipes live on Snapchat (my username is blissbakery). Continue reading
Recipe: Courgette Cakes
One of the best things about teaching cookery classes is seeing the students delighted with themselves when they have recreated a dish I have demoed. Especially one that is a bit different than the norm. Such is the case with these savory Courgette Cakes. Or as my American friends might call them, Zucchini Fritters. In essence they are a pancake. However, not your typical Sunday brunch pancake which is a butter and syrup laden affair. Continue reading
Recipe: Tea and Taco Treat!
As I am with family in America at the moment, posting recipes and getting foodie pics isn’t as convenient. With two grandbabies around, meal times have a different and more appropriate focus than an Instagrammable photo! But since I am a Mexican food lover, and my daughter whipped up some yummy tacos the other night, I had to share them! Continue reading
