Mango Doughnuts

I made mango and vanilla doughnuts. If you read the title, that should have been plenty obvious. If you’re just skimming, I also provided a decently large photo of a mango doughnut, for convenience, under this paragraph. Okay, ready to move on from this awful introduction? Oozing mango vanilla doughnuts are exceptionally tasty, light, and fluffy! Click to get the recipe. I rolled warm, pillowy balls of fried dough in homemade vanilla sugar and stuffed them full of luscious mango curd. Yum.

3D Animal Crackers

A couple of weeks ago, when I was in San Francisco, I visited a dollar-fifty store in Japantown. Where, you guessed it, everything cost $1.50 and was Japanese. Since everything inside was Japanese, their kitchen aisle was full of amazing Japanese cooking and baking tools.

Real animals come in three dimensions. Shouldn't your cookies too? Grab the recipe for these 3D animal cracker elephants just by clicking!

I found a pair of cookie cutters (well, technically they were labelled as carrot or daikon cutters) that made 3D animals. I had seen 3D cookie cutters online before, but this was a perfect opportunity to finally try them (and it only cost me a couple of dollar-fifty’s).

Vanilla Tart

­­­­I’m back from San Francisco, where I got to see a lot of really neat things like artichokes growing on Alcatraz and pistachios growing on a pistachio farm.

Do you like vanilla? This is a vanilla tart with white chocolate-vanilla ganache, rum-infused lady finger biscuit, vanilla mascarpone cream, and ground vanilla bean garnish!

I spent a lot of the trip searching for ingredients and equipment that is a tad difficult to find in Toronto, and I am happy to report that I found many great gadgets that I will share with you in the next few weeks.
