Ce petit dessert traditionnel du Québec n’était pas vraiment une recette à l’origine. C’était plutôt une façon astucieuse d’utiliser les restes de pâte à tarte après avoir préparé une tourtière, une tarte au sucre ou une tarte aux fruits.
This traditional Québec pastry was never meant to be a proper recipe. Instead, it was the clever way grandmothers used up leftover pie dough after making tourtière, sugar pie, or fruit pies. Rather than letting scraps go to waste, they rolled the dough thin, spread it with butter and brown sugar, and baked the little spirals in a simple caramel sauce.
This cake is a tribute to my parents, whose wedding cake was—of course—a rum cake. My father often reminded me, “They just don’t make them like they used to.” And he was right. This decadent dessert brings back all the nostalgia, the richness, and the celebration that a real rum cake should. Sweet, buttery, and infused with just enough rum to feel special, it's the kind of dessert that turns any Sunday supper or festive gathering into an occasion.
Nothing says Sugaring-Off Season quite like a hearty, golden omelet straight from the sugar shack! This traditional Sugar Shack Omelet is a staple in Québec’s maple syrup season, served alongside thick-cut bacon, baked beans, and of course, a generous drizzle of pure maple syrup. Known for its rich, custard-like texture with crisp edges, this omelet starts on the stove-top and then oven-baked for an authentic omelet that is simple yet deeply satisfying.
Whether you're enjoying a sugar shack meal at home or hosting a brunch, this easy, 7-ingredient recipe delivers a rustic, comforting dish that pairs perfectly with your favorite Québécois classics.

Wow! Blast from the past, bread made with Carnation milk, or what is evaporated milk. When I saw the recipe in a very old recipe book that was my mother’s I had to try it.
The book is so old, I am in awe of it, I love perusing the recipes in it and comparing it to how we cook/bake today.
Since I think I want to expand the bread recipes on the Feeding a Crowd website, I thought I would start with that one. It is different in many aspects, and it is worth making, the bread is rich, doughy and yes light, the taste is full flavored and not too sweet.
