Hello Bakers and Friends, Welcome to the November 2020 issue of Betterbaking.com! I hope October has treated you well and these first dark mornings of November aren’t too dreary. I plan months in advance for the first week of daylight savings, curating a war chest of candles, incense, candle warmers and a special cache of […]
A Note from Marcy November 2021
Dear Friends and Fellow Bakers, Happy month of November 2021, aka the month of gratitude, that is, if you’re eyeing American Thanksgiving up ahead or simply all about the upcoming Black Friday deals and grateful for bargains (spoiler alert – beware of supply chain issues this year) I confess, I used to be a […]
A Note from Marcy November 2022
Dear Friends and Fellow Bakers, Welcome to the November 2022 issue of Betterbaking.com and happy post Halloween! All is well here and I hope this note finds you similarly calm, healthy and enjoying the last mellow days of fall.

A Note from Marcy November 2024
Welcome to the November Issue of Betterbaking.com. Boo! It’s goodbye Halloween and hello daylights saving time. No worries – it’s all warm and cosy in the BB kitchen. As you’d expect, I’ve been quite squirrely of late, creating the finest and most imaginative, seasonal recipes. If it was me giving me a review, I’d say […]

A Note From Marcy October 2023
Dear Fellow Bakers and Friends, Welcome to the October 2023 Issue or what is approximately my 310th issue of Betterbaking.com. If anyone ever suggested I’m a quitter, there’s all those issues of BB to attest otherwise. I do bail on occasion but quit? Nope. Betterbaking is for me the one place I am assured there’s […]
A Note from Marcy October 2024
Dear Friends and fellow bakers, Welcome to October 2024 aka the 2nd of Tishrei, 5785 on the Jewish Calendar. It’s both a brand new month and a brand new year. And I have good and bad news. All is well but Betterbaking.com is in the website clinic getting some repairs. Some security issues compromised the […]
A Note from Marcy September 2018
Dear Bakers and Friends, Ah, September 1st the bittersweet day of summer’s end and fall’s promise! The air might feel like July but it definitely smells like September and a heat wave would do little to stop the leaves from their first tumble. Labour Day is that twilight holiday, linking what was with what’s […]
A Note from Marcy September 2020
Dear Fellow Bakers and Friends, Welcome to the September 2020, aka 5781, the dawn of the Jewish New Year. I believe that 5781 is going to be a tremendous year! But as we’re still on this side of things, just for the record, to quote Queen Elizabeth II who said something along these lines in […]
A Note from Marcy September 2021
Dear Bakers and Friends, Judging from the humidity around here these days it still feels like high-summer but as balmy as it is, it definitely smells like fall. To underscore the seasonal shift, the maple leaves in front of my house are sporting brown-tinged leaves and both my basil and oregano plants are going to […]
