Isa Does It Testers: Ginger Chocolate Cookies

I do love a good cookie. And you can't go wrong with ginger and cocoa powder and a mix of white and chocolate chips. I realized with this post that I have focused a lot on baked goods testers but the majority of the book is quick and easy savories not sweets. I just happened to have my camera out whilst baking on a sunny day as opposed to trying to take a half lit photo of a half eaten bowl of the amazing kale and quinoa stew at 7pm.

Isa Does It Testers: Lemon Blueberry Loaf

Lemon Blueberry Loaf! I do love a good loaf. I've made this at least 5 times since my initial test. That photo may be nothing special but the loaf is. You could bake up a whole pile of these to give out as gifts come Arbor day or National Loaf Day or just to eat for yourself. This again uses easy to find, simple ingredients and makes a magnificent treat.

Isa Does It Testers: Sesame Tofu

Sesame tofu in a big ol' salad. Cooking tofu that I love has been a steep learning curve for me. I can never seem to get it as firm and flavorful as I would like. This sesame tofu recipe may have solved any tofu woes I had. I love the texture I got and can futz around with the recipe to get a plethora of flavours to always have a good and tasty protein source to toss into my big ol' salads. I think one of my favourite things about testing for Isa books is that the ingredients are usually simple but the results are always great.

Isa Does It Testers: Marbled Banana Bread

I am quite lucky to be testing for Isa Moskowitz's upcoming cookbook Isa Does It. Mondays will be devoted to some of the stuff I have enjoyed or others have greatly enjoyed from my testing.

I am no fan of the wily banana but I made this marbled chocolate and banana bread for a friend who loved it and I may or may not have polished off a couple of pieces myself. The recipe for this is posted over at the PPK blog. Get those old bananas mushed and get to baking!
