What’s not to love about cake? It’s a season-less dessert that is appropriate for any occasion — my occasion of choice is usually breakfast! Over the past several years I’ve really come into my own as a baker and, I found that cookbooks with inviting, accessible recipes helped me to develop my skills.

This is my fourteenth cookbook, and it arrives exactly thirty years after my first. A lot has changed over those decades, but not the joy I get from baking. That’s constant and unfailing.

Nothing makes me happier than celebrating the good things that come from Edmonton, Alberta. It always seemed to me that growing up in Edmonton, I spent much of my time yearning for all the exciting things — clothes, food, concerts, etc. — that other bigger cities had to offer.
