Welcome to the fresh and springy April 2018 issue of Betterbaking.com!

A Note from Marcy April 2019
Dear Bakers and Friends, Happy April! It’s a time for fresh baking (notably for Easter and Passover) to perk up your palates and get your spring baker in gear. I’ve created four recipes that make Passover special. These are uncompromised, great-tasting treats (no flour? No problem?) that are as good for Passover as they are […]
A Note from Marcy August 2019
Dear Bakers and Friends, Happy August everyone and welcome to the last summer issue of Betterbaking.com! Unbelievably, this is my 264th issue of Betterbaking.com which is a landmark if not a specific anniversary.

A Note from Marcy February 2019
Dear Bakers and Friends, Welcome to the February 2019 Issue of Betterbaking.com! I’m delighted to welcome you back to my kitchen where I’ve been in a babka dervish, testing and refining this wonderful pastry until it reached ‘definitive’ status.

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.

A Note from Marcy July 2018
Dear Bakers and Friends, Welcome to the July 2018 issue of Betterbaking.com! I have a habit that gets triggered each time I find a new passion, whether it be hobby or work related.

A Note from Marcy June 2019
Dear Bakers and Friends, Welcome to the summery month of June. School is almost out and Father’s Day is around the corner. Even though the weather feels a bit balmy to bake (depending on where you live) there’s always something short and sweet you can bake and treats are always appreciated. This month I’ve assembled four […]

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 […]
