As I’ve been digging into handwritten recipes from across Nova Scotia, a few favourites emerge and I see them over and over.  Rice Pudding is one of the classics I have seen many variations for. 

It seems like the whole summer is filling up with fun opportunities…

As summer awakens on the South Shore, my mind turns to beach…

I have been lucky enough to collect some more handwritten cookbooks from…

Flipping through 1938’s “World’s Best Recipes By 500 of the World’s Best Cooks”, a single line in a recipe instantly carried me back to my Aunty Marie’s kitchen in childhood. The ingredient line read: “one square of baking chocolate, melted in a half a cup of boiling water”.

“Honey Boys”, a less spicy alternative to gingerbread men, are addictively crisp cookies with soft centres and a pleasant honey finish.
