Cardamom Cake with Whole Pears and White Chocolate

Cardamom Cake with Whole Pears and White Chocolate

  Sometimes, food is all about where we’re from, and sometimes, it’s all about where we want to go.  My French Canadian recipes are meaningful to me, because they’re a part of the fabric of my life; they’re my history, my culture, and my memories.  And I wouldn’t give them up for the world.  In […]

Any Day All-Occasion Snack Cake
