A Note from Marcy January 2018
Happy New Year Fellow Bakers and Friends, The weather outside is frightful! With temperatures (at least in Montreal and on Mars), hovering at -20 Celsius (that minus five on a Fahrenheit thermometer), Betterbaking.com is the place to be. Hot biscuits, warm bread, simmering soup, chewy, oven-fresh cookies and flaky pies or whatever else you […]

A Note from Marcy July 2018

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.

A Note from Marcy September 2018

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 […]

Dear Bakers and Friends, Dear Bakers and Friends, Last night I dreamt it was still August (it was) but this morning I woke up to a new country called Autumn. Everything about this new land is different. The mellow scent of warm peach pie has mysteriously evaporated and a seductive cinnamon mist has rolled in. […]
