BONNIE'S BEST BANANA BREAD - BONNIE STERN



Bonnie's Best Banana Bread - Bonnie Stern image

When I was little, I had an "Aunt" that used to visit, and would always make an incredible banana bread. It was my job to lick the bowl :). I was much to young to ever think about asking for the recipe. So now, many, many years later, I'm still looking for that illusive recipe.....until now. I think I found it this morning. I can only tell you that after licking the bowl......I felt like a little girl again. This bread is so very light and flavourful. Not surprising really.....it's from Bonnie Stern. I don't think I've ever been disappointed in any recipe of hers. Hope you enjoy this as much as I am.....right now.

SWEET CORNBREAD - BONNIE STERN



Sweet Cornbread - Bonnie Stern image

I'm such a lover of cornbread, that I couldn't pass up this version. Another wonderful recipe from her book "Friday Night Dinners". Bonnie writes that "she received this recipe from executive chef Anthony Rose of Toronto's Drake Hotel". Very easy and flavourful. She also mentions that the follow may be added: diced olives, sun-dried tomatoes or fresh herbs. We enjoyed the plain version very much. Easily halved and baked in a 9 x 9 pan.
