Dear Fellow Bakers, ands Friends, Happy new year to you all and especially my fellow Horses on the Chinese New Year! I trust you all had a warm and restorative holiday season. Please note that beginning this year, BetterBaking.com will be published every two months. This allows me to share new recipes and writing more […]

  Hello Bakers and Friends, I trust all is well with you and you’re keeping safe. Baking makes me happy (surprise) and also seems to keep me out of trouble since these days since I won’t  even buy a drive-through doughnut and coffee. In Canada, you should know, some of our drive-thrus, including Tim Horton’s, […]

July 2025 A Note from Marcy The State and Country Fair Foods Issue Dear Bakers and Friends, Welcome to the July 2025 State Fair (or Province Fair) issue of Betterbaking.com! Summertime and the living is easy but the temperature is sky-rocketing or at least it is in these parts. From what I watch and read, […]

Dear Friends and Fellow Bakers, When I began Betterbaking.com my salutation was Dear Fellow Bakers and Friends. Honestly, I find it a little formal and retro-sounding but I’ve held onto it because I can’t think of a better one and perhaps some things don’t need fiddling with.

May 2025 A Note from Marcy Dear fellow bakers and friends, As a baker and a Canadian, I’m a fall-and-winter girl. I naturally identify with the ‘bakey’ seasons and those that call for endless cups of coffee, books on the couch and a background theme song those opening lyrics are: ‘preheat oven to 350 F’. […]

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. Of course if you’re in a different hemisphere I hope spring and summer are beginning to […]

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 […]

Hi Fellow Bakers and Friends, Welcome to the November 2025 issue of Betterbaking.com! I trust this finds you well. Like many of you, I’ve been busy soup-making, ‘stocking up’ if you pardon the pun and I have the worn-out Sketchers to prove it. Nothing makes me happier (although many things make me as happy) than […]
