Review

There are two issues of Bon Appetit magazine that I must purchase each year the day they hit the shelves — the best new restaurants issue that comes in late summer and the December issue (which I, as well as many, dub as the holiday cookie issue) that is always adorn with cookies that are the epitome of holiday baking goals. This year was no different than the others. I saw the pink and sparkly rugelachs on this year’s holiday cover and the voice inside my head was like “it’s time.” I picked up the issue, flipped straight to the cookie section, and started making a mental note on what I should make. That same voice inside my head reminded me that the brown butter linzers from the previous year were so tasty and that I had the time of my life making the floral wreaths. Because ’tis the season for baking everything I decided to go all out and bake all my bookmarked Bon Appetit recipes at one go on a Saturday. I shared the photo on Instagram and the response was quite overwhelming. Bon Appetit even shared it on their account. Many of you asked which specific recipes I used, so I am going to link all of them here. All the cookies are quite simple to make and require only basic pantry items that you probably have already. Before putting any of the cookies in the oven for their specified baking times, I chilled the cookie cut-outs in the freezer for fifteen minutes to make sure the cookies retain their shape during baking and come out of the oven with a clean edge.

blueberry lilac no-bake cheesecake ✨ this lilac blueberry lilac no-bake cheesecake ✨

this lilac blueberry cheesecake is made with lilacs from my parents backyard. the base is made with ritz crackers — it’s sweet and salty, yum. the cheesecake uses the same recipe as my no-bake cherry blossom cheesecake but we added some homemade blueberry compote into the cheesecake and jelly layers for flavour and colour.

i love this cheesecake so much because it’s creamy and light, it’s like biting into a cloud. after it has set (i recommend overnight), cut a big slice and enjoy the fleeting lilac season before it slips away.

indoor girlie 🤝 elderflower season i might not indoor girlie 🤝 elderflower season

i might not be the biggest fan of nature, but elderflower season can convince me to spend a good chunk of time rummaging through tall bushes in the middle of the night (read: 1am). i used the lemon ricotta cupcake recipe from my book and topped the cupcakes with swiss meringue buttercream flavoured with a bit of lemon juice and homemade elderflower syrup.

fresh giant mango mochi 🥭 i knowwwwww i just m fresh giant mango mochi 🥭

i knowwwwww i just made mango mochi not too long ago, and i knowwwwww everyone is making it but i found the most perfect tree-ripen mango so we had to do it again! the mochi only requires three ingredients (pantry ingredients for me). the mango mochi comes together in a couple of minutes so it’s the perfect last minute dessert or snack. you know where you can find the recipe (psssst. the blog!!)
