To Nanny,

whose baking made every holiday feel like home, and who never let anyone's birthday pass, family or friend, without something special to celebrate who they were.

By sharing these gifts, may your love shine on and through every bite.

Her favourites

  • Éclairs

    Chocolate and vanilla, piped in rather than split open, and often finished with a topping.

  • Pumpkin Bread

    Plain or with nuts, in big loaves and little ones.

  • Candied Nuts

    All kinds, but mostly peanuts and pecans.

  • Scandinavian Almond Bars

    Her go-to cookie: glazed and cut into strips.

  • Maryland Crab Cakes

    Maryland style.

  • Maryland Crab Balls

    Maryland style, the bite-size cousin of her crab cakes.
