Cook Fancy
But keep it easy.
A cookbook guide with go-to recipes that will take you through the holidays and beyond . Because everyone deserves their ‘this is f-ing amazing’ moment.
Hi, it’s Mari!
The holidays are when you can really shine — especially if you love to cook.
Over the years, I’ve created recipes that have won “best I’ve ever tasted,” “if I had a last meal, this would be it,” and “Mari, this is f-ing amazing!”
These are my top ten best-of recipes to learn by heart — like the back of your hand — even if you’re a tad kitchen shy.
What’s inside (to name a few)
Salted Milk Chocolate Bark, With Toasted Pecans, Rice Crisps
The easiest but essential treat. Sinfully delicious, a little fancy — but so easy to make. Upstage the office cookie exchange or tie up in cellophane bags for hostess gifts or stocking stuffers.
Millionaire’s Shortbread
Ok this really is fancy, and does require a bit of patience, but go for it, delight yourself! A treat that’s worth every minute and every ingredient. One bite, and you’ll feel like a millionaire—sweet, salty, and gorgeous!
Puff Pastry-Wrapped Cranberry and Pecan Brie
So easy to make, serve it warm and watch it disappear. Golden, flaky puff pastry wrapped around creamy brie, tart cranberries, and toasted pecans — all the flavours of the holidays in one beautiful bite. Serve it warm and watch it disappear. Makes a gift so good, you’ll be tempted to keep it for yourself.
Pork Dumplings With Sweet Soy Glaze
The appetizer that will turn into an obsession. Make-ahead, freezer-friendly, and dangerously addictive. The perfect starter, cocktail bite, or movie-night companion. Secret tip? The slurry adds a thin, lacy, restaurant-style crust. Yum!
Accordian-sliced potatoes (called hasselback ) with caviar
Crispy outside, tender inside, and beautifully fanned for maximum flavour. Thinly sliced almost through, brushed with olive oil, and roasted until golden — these humble turned fancy potatoes are the perfect holiday side.
Authentic French Canadian Tourtière, eh?
Tested to perfection — and approved by my French-Canadian colleague who said “this pie takes me right into my grandma’s kitchen”. This recipe won over every palate, even outshining chef-made versions in a wide-range taste test. And it’s easy to make.
