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. Within the rich city of Montreal, famous for its French flare and world class cuisine, is a thriving Jewish community that is a melting pot of different cultures and rich traditions. And Then There Was Cake is a collection of more than 80 desserts from classic to modern that reflect Montreal’s unique Jewish heritage.
Simply Irresistible Rugelach
The pictures are gorgeous and the recipes are approachable. Even the last chapter called Fancy, with multiple steps, makes it look easy for a special occasion dessert.

If I could choose any dessert, any time, my comfort dessert would always go back to brownies 🙂
My favorite dessert is a cake that my friend Elizabeth used to make – a Chocolate Kahlua cake; She can’t make it anymore because Kahlua is no longer kosher & we’re all quite sad… Does anyone know of a similar product, but kosher?
