Today I’m serving up this Pumpkin Pie Fizz in honour of two things: 1) American Thanksgiving coming up real quick, 2) drowning out the memory of my recent spin class experience. As you may know, if you follow me on Instagram and watch my stories, I enjoy working out but I have never been fond…

Phyllo-Wrapped Baked Brie with Cranberry Compote
Everything is better with phyllo, even baked Brie which really seems hard to improve upon. For this recipe, I topped the cheese with my leftover cranberry compote from Thanksgiving. The combination yields a subtly sweet, tart, creamy and crunchy appetizer. It’s basically what dreams are made of. If you’re looking for a shortcut on this…
Favourite Fall Recipes
We are in that frustrating time of year when it’s 11 degrees when you leave your house in the morning but it’s 25 by lunch and you’re sweating through your lightweight knitwear and leather jackets. It is a delightful time of year for food and drink however. Hot girl summer is over and we are…
Mashed Potato Pancakes
With American Thanksgiving this week, I wanted to give our neighbours to the south a little inspiration for what to do with all those leftovers. They’ll need to fuel up for Black Friday door-crashers. These Mashed Potato Pancakes are the absolute best way to repurpose those leftover mashed potatoes. That is, if you have…
Apple Cranberry Crush
Pour yourself a drink (preferably this Apple Cranberry Crush because it goes down easy), we are getting into it today. Let’s talk about dating. I’ve been single for a year. The last time I was single I was 25. I’m not sure what happened but the game done changed. When I was 25 and…
Pumpkin French Toast with Pumpkin Butter
If you’re wondering why there is just so much damn pumpkin content on the blog lately, I’ll tell you. First, pumpkin is delicious and its October so you should be craving this seasonal delight at every meal. Second, very few recipes call for an entire can of pumpkin purée, which means you have a…
Pumpkin Pecan Cake with Brown Butter Icing
SKIP TO RECIPE Taste & Tipple is 1! How my baby has grown. I had long wanted to start a food blog and had no end of encouragement from friends and family. I loved to throw elaborate dinner/cocktail parties that featured challenging technical recipes or new cuisines. I was that girl at the restaurant hovering…
Cranberry Constellation

Pumpkin Cheesecake Trifles
Thanksgiving is one of my favourite occasions. I love the idea of a big family get-together where you set up the folding tables, bring in the patio chairs and rearrange your living room furniture just to accommodate everyone. I have a pretty small family, just myself, my parents and two half-brothers. My brothers live…
Maple Roasted Sweet Potato and Brussels Sprout Salad
The concept for this salad is “Thanksgiving sides – combined.” Inspired in part by my favourite Brussels sprouts side dish wherein the vegetables just serve as a flavour vector for maple syrup, whiskey and ALL the butter. I’m fairly certain that maple roasted sweet potatoes are everyone’s favourite holiday side, while the turnips are…
