As the Hebrew Academy of Montreal looks ahead to their 50th anniversary they decided to assemble the new kosher cookbook, And Then There Was Cake, desserts to enjoy and impress. Throughout the years the leaders of the parent association found themselves in kitchens and around food as they worked to build a better school. Now they are passing on these recipes to the next generation.
Glazed Pear Tart
Along with the desserts showcased in this book, each chapter is prefaced by an inspirational message from one of the leaders and role models in the community. The pictures include family keepsakes and the stories behind them. This book showcases desserts from all the diverse cultures.

And Then There Was Cake is a collection of more than 80 desserts from classic to modern that reflect Montreal’s unique Jewish heritage.

The rugelach look amazing!
I love baked goods, especially soft chocolate chip cookies!
Ice cream pie
A dessert cookbook is always a great idea! My favorite dessert is chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. The pear tart looks exciting to try.
I love rugelach but they seem to disappear too quickly.
Still trying to replicate my mother’s rugelach. Hope this one is it!
I love to bake muffins and cakes.
My favorite dessert is ginger spice cake.
The brioche looks delicious. My daughters and I love to look at dessert cookbooks on Friday night. Can’t wait to go through this one.
This cookbook is actually what I need for Shabbat morning treats!
pull apart brioche!
The cookbook looks fabulous. My favorite desserts actually tend to be plain and boring (although I make more elaborate ones for my guests), but the pull-apart brioche looks like it could become a contender.
After a milchig meal, my favourite treat is a caramel crunch cheesecake- I can`t begin to describe the decadence of this. But as I cannot stand a pareve substitute for cheesecake, a coffee flavoured ice cream cake has to be added to my list of favourites which otherwise would only comprimise of the first.
My favorite thing to cook is dessert, so a cookbook that is just desserts is a winner with me
I love cake! Can’t wait to try these
Baked pastries with fruits are always my favorites. so here goes – Let’s try the glazed pear tart
I love any cake that is chocolate and creamy.
This looks awesome!
We have two favorite basic desserts in our house – anything baked with apples and chocolate chip cookies, but we are always looking for new things to try when company comes over.
My mouth is salivating looking at the pullapart brioche!
I am an alumna of the Hebrew Academy of Montreal and I can attest that the kosher bakeries and their goods are world class. I have lived in many different cities and nothing beats Montreal baking! (could be the Hungarian, French, Sephardic influence-just a guess) As far as desserts go, I love rugelech…can’t wait to see the book and take a trip down memory lane in my city of birth Montreal.
looking for something beyond the classic chocolate chip cookies and cake.
I think the pull apart brioche looks fantastic. Going to try that recipe on Thrsday.
Now that I am unemployed I am busy baking. The sample recipes look great. I would love to win this.
WOW!!! That glazed pear tart looks incredible!! My mouth is watering just looking at it!
