Dear Fellow Bakers and Friends, Hola and welcome to the May 2022 Silver Anniversary Issue of BB! I trust our month apart has been well-spent and filled with special moments in and out of the kitchen. Although I would describe myself as commitment-shy I did some math the other day and it turns out I’m […]
A Note from Marcy November 2018
Dear Fellow Bakers and Friends, Welcome to the November 2018 Issue of Betterbaking.com! For a Canadian who hosts (primarily) American readers, I’m having my annual editorial déjà vu. Didn’t I just chat up pumpkins and harvest last month? I thought so! But that was Canadian Thanksgiving. Frankly, one could do worse than a Thanksgiving rematch […]
A Note from Marcy November 2020
Hello Bakers and Friends, Welcome to the November 2020 issue of Betterbaking.com! I hope October has treated you well and these first dark mornings of November aren’t too dreary. I plan months in advance for the first week of daylight savings, curating a war chest of candles, incense, candle warmers and a special cache of […]
A Note from Marcy November 2021
Dear Friends and Fellow Bakers, Happy month of November 2021, aka the month of gratitude, that is, if you’re eyeing American Thanksgiving up ahead or simply all about the upcoming Black Friday deals and grateful for bargains (spoiler alert – beware of supply chain issues this year) I confess, I used to be a […]
A Note from Marcy November 2022
Dear Friends and Fellow Bakers, Welcome to the November 2022 issue of Betterbaking.com and happy post Halloween! All is well here and I hope this note finds you similarly calm, healthy and enjoying the last mellow days of fall.

A Note From Marcy October 2023
Dear Fellow Bakers and Friends, Welcome to the October 2023 Issue or what is approximately my 310th issue of Betterbaking.com. If anyone ever suggested I’m a quitter, there’s all those issues of BB to attest otherwise. I do bail on occasion but quit? Nope. Betterbaking is for me the one place I am assured there’s […]
A Note from Marcy September 2018
Dear Bakers and Friends, Ah, September 1st – the bittersweet day of summer’s end and fall’s promise! The air might feel like July but it definitely smells like September and a heat wave would do little to stop the leaves from their first tumble. Labour Day is that twilight holiday, linking what was with what’s […]
A Note from Marcy September 2020
Dear Fellow Bakers and Friends, Welcome to the September 2020, aka 5781, the dawn of the Jewish New Year. I believe that 5781 is going to be a tremendous year! But as we’re still on this side of things, just for the record, to quote Queen Elizabeth II who said something along these lines in […]
A Note from Marcy September 2021
Dear Bakers and Friends, Judging from the humidity around here these days it still feels like high-summer but as balmy as it is, it definitely smells like fall. To underscore the seasonal shift, the maple leaves in front of my house are sporting brown-tinged leaves and both my basil and oregano plants are going to […]
