Guest Bloggers: Brooke’s Aunt Jerri’s Bouillabaise Soup

January 31, 2012 Seafood

You may or may not have noticed a severe lack of seafood recipes over here on Planet Byn. Seeing as how my whole family is from the Maritimes, my seafood aversion is pretty much a genetic mystery. The only fish I eat is plain white: tilapia, halibut, grouper, mahi mahi. So Brooke is here […]

January 15, 2010 Uncategorized

…so why shouldn’t I? To kick it off, this is going to be a place for me to retro-blog about some baking projects from the last year, like Charlotte’s Elmo Cake, updating Mom & Dad’s wedding dinner for their 40th anniversary, and some (mis)adventures in gluten-free baking inspired by Aoife & Jill.
