Any fresh fruit may be used with this pastry base. For quick and sure results use a canned cherry pie filling. Quick and easy cake, and tasty too.

These babka rings are made from a rich yeast dough spread with a chocolate and cinnamon filling. The loaves are rolled up, finished with a sweet streusel topping, and baked.

A simple European style country bread. Just enough whole wheat to give it some flavor but not so much that it's heavy. I use an overnight starter to give it extra flavor.

Orange and lemon zest, and loads of raisins, currants and almonds make this sweet egg bread, a Polish Easter specialty, well worth the work. Serve for breakfast or with your afternoon tea.

This a really good down-home style, back to basics pound cake that my whole family enjoys! This recipe was handed down to me with the stipulation of placing the cake in a cold oven, and it turns out perfectly every time.
