Exploring Cooking & Science
There’s chemistry involved every time we cook, and our ultimate goal is to Student-Proof our recipes so no one has to do any guesswork. All of our recipes include supplemental information about the science of what you’re trying to make, explained in a way anyone could understand.
Earl Grey & Hazelnut Chocolate Mousse
Spring is in the air, and there’s no better celebration for it than a floral, rich chocolate mousse that’s both impressive and laughably easy to make. The candied, toasted hazelnuts only enhance the complexity of the delicate Earl Grey flavour. There’s no better cure for a mediocre day than a fancy dessert, and this Earl Grey & Hazelnut Chocolate Mousse is no exception! Oh, and did we mention that it’s completely dairy free?
Samoa Cookie Muscovado & Coconut Latte
A Samoa is an iconic Girl Scout Cookie that revolves around coconut, caramel, and chocolate. We’ve gone through the process of making a more day-to-day version for us adults by creating an indulgent, but not overly sweet, twist on a classic muscovado cocktail syrup. This creamy, satisfying latte is perfect cold or hot to help bring a little refined inner-child vibe into your morning.
Hazelnut Hot Chocolate
The holidays are the perfect time to celebrate all the seasonal nuts we take for granted throughout the year. Our Hazelnut Hot Chocolate does just that to warm you all the way through and bring you some of that special hazelnut taste you didn't know you've been missing. If you're looking for a change from classic peppermint, give this a try and make your morning special!
Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies
The perfect combo of moist brownies and melted peanut butter. We even made sure it's inclusive by giving you a vegan option(spoiler alert, the chemistry of eggs is replaceable!). These are some of my favourite brownies I've ever had OR made, and the peanut butter helps make them light enough for spring. Warning: you may have difficulty putting them down.
Whiskey & Raspberry Chocolate Mousse
Delicious and simple, this alcoholic mousse makes you feel like a pastry chef by utilizing the natural stabilizing chemistry of egg whites rather than the traditional chilling method! The rich chocolate is cut through perfectly by the natural tartness of raspberries and is only elevated further by the savoury characteristics of whiskey.
