Pumpkin Raisin Scones
A great scone for multiple occasions- breakfast, afternoon tea...
light on flavour (so you can eat these with jam/seasoned butter of your choice!) and not overly dry.

Soirette Macarons & Tea: Fall/Winter High Tea Menu
As a macaron enthusiast myself, I admit that I do have high standards for macarons. After two years of continuous trial and error with these fussy (sometimes) and delicate cookies, it's hard not to get picky at the details.
Soirette, however, made it to the top of my list for the Best Macarons in Vancouver.
Ever since it opened, I've visited a few times for their macarons, but haven't had a chance to try their high tea service. Their high tea service is only offered on weekends with about 4-5 time slots per day, so I feel especially fortunate to have made a successful reservation just before the end of their Fall/Winter High Tea Menu.
Okay, enough with the blabbing now...
I went with one of my besties (whose name also happens to be Cathy, and congratulations dear for getting into Cornell University, I'm super grateful to have the chance to spend the next four years + with you as well!) on a sunny Sunday afternoon. The tiny place can only seat 4-5 tables of 2-4 people at once, so each time slot only has 4-5 spaces. Though the space was tiny, I didn't feel squished at all. The chairs were big and comfy and the tables are manageable as well.

Ladurée Madeleines with a Matcha Twist
I have a tradition of treating myself to a gift each Christmas, as a small hint to self to "love yourself" ,
So ever since I've been into Ladurée's macarons (and everything else in general), last Christmas I've decided to get Ladurée's own cookbook- Sucré or The Sweet Recipes.
Created by the pastry chef of Ladurée himself, the book contains some of the many secrets behind Ladurée's success. For example, their delectable French macarons ;)
