Being in the pastry biz for nearly 10 years (already!), one of the most commonly asked questions directed to me has to be which dessert is my favourite. Truthfully, I don't really eat much dessert. I work a lot and unless it's a quick taste of something new for testing purposes, you will not find me eating the sweet stuff. I love to make and create but I am around it so much I suppose I have become a little desensitised. Now, with that said, it does not mean that I am made of stone and don't enjoy the little pleasures of life. I would just rather sit and enjoy what I am eating instead of blindly eating it just because it is in front of me. On these rare occasions, I would have to say that lemon meringue is my favourite. Pretty much lemon anything. No matter how complicated and intricate my repertoire has become, it always seems to come back down to basics. There is something so satisfying about the crisp crust, tart lemon curd and the fluffy, sweet meringue. Here's how I whip it up....

Hi there! I'm Nadia. I've been in the restaurant and food industry for nearly 10 years now, between Montreal and Toronto. When I am not busy working, you can find me testing recipes in my home kitchen, taking photos or at a live show. I learned to cook with my mother and grandmother at a young age and I turned my passion into a career. After studying in Toronto and France, I returned to my roots in Montreal. It's been a roller coaster to say the least but I know that I am happiest when I have full control of my creativity which has lead me to this platform. So, make yourself comfortable and learn a little something about a few things that make life a little sweeter.
