I’m Kelly Albert a.k.a Gateau Superstar! By day, I am a senior publicist, foodie contributor and former radio host. On my off-hours, I am a passionate foodie, baker and cook.

I don’t always follow a recipe (bad habit). But when I do, I want to share them with you! Follow along with my kitchen successes and sometimes failures!

Welcome!

Deviled Eggs

Are Deviled Eggs considered a vintage recipe at this point? Not sure about that one but I really like them! I feel like they are great for brunch. I use a few ingredient swap-outs by using spicy brown mustard and Kewpie mayonnaise but Dijon mustard and regular mayonnaise work great.

Pouding Chômeur

My Pouding Chômeur recipe strays ever so slightly from the traditional recipe. In this case, I use maple sugar instead of the traditional granulated sugar in the cake (because why not up the mapley goodness, no?). I also add a bit of orange zest to the syrup. This is completely optional but I find it adds a little something special to dish.

Morning Glory Muffins

I love a muffin that is one part good for you and one part treat. I find Morning Glory muffins are a good combination of that. Full of apple, carrots, dried fruit, nuts and warm spices -it is like an extra special carrot cake. And honestly, no one would judge you if you added cream cheese frosting on top.

Risotto with Brussels sprouts and bacon

If you listen to Montreal Eats on CJAD 800, you know that I have a segment called Chopped: Fridge. Listeners call or text in with ingredients in their fridge or pantry and I help to put them together in a meal. This risotto came about in that exact way. I was trying to figure out what to make for dinner with Brussels sprouts, bacon and chicken stock in my fridge. Thus, this risotto recipe was born!
