“Hi Ms Jenny, thanks a lot for your easy to follow recipes. It helped me a lot and my friends admired my baking. More power to you and I wish you good health and happiness! I cooked it in stainless steel pot since I don’t have a dutch oven and the result is good as it looks. Thanks Ms. Jenny, you are my idol in baking! Your fan, Bel.”

– Thank for you your photos. It’s helpful for everyone to see how well a stainless steel pot works. – jenny

“Hi Jenny. I’m fateme from Iran. I made your cinnamon rolls, they were amazing, everyone loved them. And i also made oatmeal raisin cookies, i loved them too.thank you”

“Good morning Ms. Jenny! I made your FLOUR TORTILLAS recipe and I have to say it has NEVER failed me. I’ve  made them so many times now and every time with tasty results. You have such a wonderful and simple recipe for these flour tortillas. The changes I made was to make them a bit smaller and I cooked them just a little bit longer. They came out so good, so soft and on the fluffy side….yummy indeed! For our dinner I made us some turkey and potato tacos with a side of rice. A simple and tasty dinner with homemade  tortillas. I had enough tortillas leftover over from dinner that we had them for breakfast the next morning. I made a couple of scrambled egg tacos for hubby and myself. Along with some hot coffee and we enjoyed an easy, tasty breakfast. Have a nice day Ms. Jenny! Happy cooking!  Dalila.”

– Your photos are always to appetizing. Thank you for sharing your delicious serving ideas. – jenny

“Thanks for recipe.  It comes in handy during these trying times and I look forward to making in the upcoming Fall and Winter months.  My first loaf didnt turn out but I’m gonna have to blame it on being distracted by 3 yr old kitchen helper and adding too much water.  My 2nd loaf was beautiful and yum.  Dough a little dry but I did not aerate  Bread was dense but like I said yum.  Will continue to try minor adjustments till I get to how I like.  Again thanks.”

– Thank you for your photo. Your crust turned out great! – jenny

“Finally made your braided egg bread recipe, Jenny.  It came out awesome!  Thank you! ~ Jeannie, Milwaukie, Oregon.”

“What a wonderful recipe and easy to follow. This is my 4th attempt and always comes out well – short proofing time and is ready only took about 1.5hour and we have fresh warm bread. Thank you Jenny.”

– That looks great. Thank you for taking time to send your photo. – jenny

“Hi Jenny, we had a bumper crop of chard this year, so I made your traditional cabbage rolls with chard leaves instead. Turned out awesome! Thanks for the great recipe and memories of my grandma 🙂 ~ Lindsay Ripplinger.”

– I love chard! This is a great idea! Thank you for these tasty photos. – jenny

“Wow, does our house smell amazing right now – and my husband and our next door neighbours are pretty happy with the afternoon treat.  Glad I made a double batch.  And almost guilt-free with the avocado oil and dark chocolate.  This is a recipe I’ll make often over the coming winter.  Thank you, Jenny, for this recipe and the others that I’m always drooling over on your website.   Bev McVeigh, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Canada.”

“Thank you for this 20 minute pizza dough recipe.  It is my go to recipe when having company in a pinch.  It is so quick and easy and shapes up perfectly.  I did this one in a square so we could all share. It has shrimp, scallops, red onion,  kalmata olives, baby spinach, garlic and a san   marizano sauce with 4 cheese.  Thank you again.  Your recipes are always helpful and oh so delicious ❤️”

– Thank you for your photo and for sharing a list of all your toppings with everyone. – jenny

“Hello Jenny, I’ve made your Faster No -Knead Bread several times, this time  I decided to experiment a little and made it with pickled  jalapeño peppers and sharp cheddar cheese. Turned out good! Nice and warm from the peppers but not too hot. Thanks again for your recipes!”

– Wow, that sounds like a great combo. Thank you so much for the photos. – jenny

“Jenny…I’ve tried several bread recipes while quarantined but your 2 Hour No Knead is the best.  Thank you for being such a good teacher.”

– I appreciate your sending this terrific photo. That is one beautiful crust! – jenny

“Hello Jenny, Hope you are doing well. This is Kyae from Myanmar. I am a freelance script writer. During last 6 months of Covid time, I’ve no job and no income. So I decided to learn some menu to sell online and decided to include Brownies which is my favorite. After going through all the recipes from YouTube I found yours the most easy and affordable cost. Now I am selling online and I am making some income from that. I even have regular customers for my brownies, they always order 10 pieces of my brownie almost 3 times a month. I got comments like, * Same taste from the favorites coffee shop when I visited state! *I cannot eat other’s brownies anymore after eating yours. I am so happy and always wanted to say thank you for sharing your recipes with everyone. Love you and thank you so much from Myanmar ❤️ Best, Kyae.”

– Kyae, it makes me so happy to know that my recipe is helping you during this challenging time. Your brownies look delicious and I wish you much success with your new venture. Thank you for these beautiful photos. – jenny

“Hi Jenny, Hope your doing well. I’m Josie Lee from Oshawa, Ontario Canada. Love your recipes, videos and sense of humour. I can always count on your recipes working and turning out super, super delicious. The other month made your cinnamon roll (made a gigantic bun), This month made your braided cinnamon raisin bread, it’s so delicious and soft.  Great the next day toasted with butter for breakfast. Yum. Thank you Jenny.”

– Thank you for your photos. My husband also likes it toasted but I like the glaze so sometimes I only glaze my half ?… P.S. your typo is fixed but it did make me laugh. (made a gigantic bum! ?) – jenny

“Hi Jenny Jones. I love love love your easy pan pizza recipe ! It’s so easy and so yummy. I couldn’t believe I could get such a crunch crispy crust at home. Thank you so much for sharing your love for cooking with all of us. I tried making my version of our favorite pizza chains “chicken bacon” pizza using your recipe ( though with chicken nuggets as that’s what I had at home and turkey bacon ) and 2 vegetarian pizzas ( one which is close to my heart as that’s what we ate back home in India  with bell pepper onion topping  and second one with mushroom onion basil) My family gobbled it up all! No leftovers ! 🙂 Thank you ! Lots of love, Bhairavi Kiwalkar, San Jose , CA.”

– All of your pizzas look so appetizing, no wonder there were no leftovers. ? Thank you for taking time to send your photos.– jenny

“Good morning Jenny! I have made your CINNAMON ROLLS many times and they always come out wonderful! This time I added some diced apples to the filling and also some pecans. Topped the apple cinnamon rolls with some more chopped pecans before baking. Talk about a delicious morning treat with my coffee! Thank you for another great recipe! Happy Baking!  Dalila.”

– This sounds amazing and I am going to try it myself. Thank you for your photo and for sharing this great idea! – jenny

“Hi Jenny, Thanks again for your delicious and easy Greek Lemon Chicken Bake. This one is going to be on regular rotation through the fall and winter. Made this three times now and it never fails! Thanks for sharing the goodness with all of us home cooks! ~ Dawn Miller McKimpson, Vancouver, WA.”

– I’m going grocery shopping tomorrow and just decided to buy what I need to make this for dinner. I love it too. Thank you for the great photo and my goodness, you have the cleanest stove I’ve ever seen! – jenny

NANCY (from Canada) MADE MY WHOLE WHEAT DINNER ROLLS

“This recipe is easy to follow, takes little time and the texture of the dough made forming the rolls a snap. They were absolutely delicious with a moist texture and were a big hit at a luncheon I had a couple of days ago where they went beautifully with our vegetable/chicken soup. We didn’t really even need to butter them before eating.Another great recipe, Jenny. I’ve made many of yours and have had success with all of them. Thank you. ~ Nancy, Vancouver, Canada.”

– Thanks so much for your photos. They look perfect but I’m not surprised coming from a fellow Canadian. 🇨🇦  – jenny

“Hello, just wanted to share my 2 Hour No Knead Bread that I made today. This is the first bread I’ve ever cooked, and I’m extremely pleased. I used a Lodge Dutch Oven, put a little melted butter and a few sesame seeds on top before I baked it. My wife and family was very impressed, went great with the roasted turkey I made for dinner! Thank you, Ben.”

– Your first bread looks fantastic but wait… you cooked roast turkey dinner for your family?! And homemade bread? You are the man!! 👍  – jenny

“Hi Jenny, Your recipe for the Blueberry Lemon Muffins is simply scrumptious! I bought fresh berries from the local fruit stand and had a craving for muffins this morning –your recipe was perfect, quick, easy & delish! Thanks for another great recipe 😉  Sherri B. in Lacey, WA.”

– Thank you for your lovely photo and the powdered sugar is a great touch. – jenny

“So Excited! My first attempt at loaf pan bread.  Love your recipes.  You make everything seem easier.  Thank you a million times over.”

– I can see why you’re excited. Your bread turned out beautifully. Thank you for the photo.  – jenny

“What a good texture, easy in 90mins …. but I have a question is a bit crumpling when I sliced it. Is it normal ? “

– Krystina, this does not appear to be no knead bread – looks more like the “simple whole wheat” loaf.  Can you please re-send with clarification? Thank you. – jenny

“Hi Jenny, Thanks for sharing all your recipes! It was my first time to make bread and it came out pretty good! I made the No Knead Bread, Cinnamon Raisin Swirl, and White Bread. I’m excited to try all the other recipes in your blog. Thank you, again! ❤️ Sending love from the Philippines!”

– These are great photos and I will say that’s the way to slice homemade bread! 😋 – jenny

“I finally read your bio!I thought there was something familiar about you! I remember your talk show and it all makes sense now.  Your relaxed and personable comfort behind the camera and your wit …. you are a “seasoned professional” – no pun intended!  I found you while in search of a bread recipe and I have been making your “no knead wheat bread” – weekly – ever since.  I am finally to the point where I just glance at the recipe printed for measuring quantities but have the steps memorized.  This bread is foolproof, uncomplicated and so quick and delicious.  Thank you. Yesterday I needed a cream cheese frosting recipe so I thought I’d start with you – I found one paired with a spice cake to use and it came out great.  I had to add a bit more milk than the recipe called for, but it’s so yummy. Thanks for sharing your wonderful recipes.  You should have a cooking show on PBS!  Diane Rudnick, Liberty Lake, WA.”

– Thank you for your lovely photos. And I like that pun! 🙂 – jenny

“Hi Jenny!! Oh so delicious, and so easy to do. THANK YOU for making soft and light doughnuts really achievable. Custard filling because custard is king. Love your recipes, and your videos were a total blast. Pączki photos and one of me attached. Warmest wishes, Lisa.”

– I don’t know which photo I love more – the custard pączki (my favorite filling) or your beautiful purple hair (my favorite color). Thank you so much! ❤️– jenny

“Good morning, Thank you for this recipe it’s really great. I love it.”

– These are two of the best crusts I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing your photos. – jenny

“(No knead for sourdough) Hi Jenny Ha – a joke in the subject line, not sure I’ve done that before. Your no knead bread was our favourite a long time before quarantine (or lockdown as we call it here in Australia). My husband makes it now but got a bit cocky with the rye flour and got a Small brick! I’ve finally printed your recipe instead of watching YouTube every time but I’ve gotta say every time that baseball story makes me snort with laughter! Here’s my last loaf which I was proud of. Off to make more now. Thanks Jenny for your brilliant recipes and the rest you devote so we can enjoy your skills and learn from them. ~ Helen, Ocean Grove, Victoria, Australia.”

– Your loaf is beautiful! And I like your joke. 🙂 It’s so exciting to see my recipe all the way down under! Thank you.- jenny

“Hi Jenny, This is Dawn from Vancouver, Washington and I made your no knead Dutch oven bread twice using a Platinum Brand instant sourdough yeast, its regular instant yeast with sourdough cultures mixed in- which was all they had in March when yeast was scarce. It turned out perfect twice. And yesterday I happened to be out of eggs so I made your honey wheat bread and it came out amazing. I didnt tent the top with foil but I don’t mind a browner, crustier top. Also I used whole milk and that didn’t cause any problems with the rise or anything.  I’ve also made your Greek lemon chicken.  potatoes and green beans dinner bake and your chocolate quarantine cake and both were delicious as promised. Thanks for sharing easy recipes for home cooks! Both me and my husband are working from home so it’s really helpful to have these time savers so I’m not in the kitchen all day. We appreciate you! Dawn Miller McKimpson (and husband Karl Miller McKimpson who enjoys the benefits of your recipes!)”

– Thanks for all these photos from your bakery oops, I mean your home! 😀 I’m happy to help out. – jenny

“Thanks for the recipe. It was very easy. ~ Sandra, San Diego.”

– Thank you for the great photo. This is exactly how mine looks when sliced. – jenny

“Thanks Jenny, the recipe was sent to me by a friend in the USA, it was perfect, thank you for sharing what you love. Thats me and my nephew, i made the bread for him, and he loved it.  I am from Johannesburg, South Africa.”

– You just made my day with these photos from over 10,000 miles away! What a beautiful photo of you and your darling nephew. Thank you so much!! ❤️ – jenny (oh, the bread too ?)

“My 1st homemade bread.”

– Congrats on your first loaf and your dip (garlic, oil + herbs?) sounds delish! Thank you for the photo. – jenny

“Hi Jenny~ This is the third time I’ve made your homemade barbecue sauce, and it is the most awesome stuff I’ve ever seen or tasted! Quick, easy, and the smell in our Dallas, TX home just lingers for days, lol. In this pic I added the sauce to smoked brisket for an awesome sandwich, and paired it with potato salad and pickles. Suffice it to say, I have a terribly spoiled husband, lol- Love your recipes, and I tell everyone about your recipe site- girl….who knew???!!! Mary Nagy, Dallas, TX.”

– You are right about the aroma of this sauce. It means something good is coming. My husband is in the same club! 🙂– jenny

“Hot dog rolls!! Hi Jenny, made your hot dog rolls and they were lovely!!! Will be making these again. I never used sugar but honey and never needed to egg wash them , the family loved. Take care and all the best from Somerset in England ❤️”

– Thank you so much for this great photo of your rolls and for the tip that honey works just as well.  – jenny

“These are great! I used whole wheat flour and swapped the eggs with applesauce. Thank you for a great recipe and video! Miss your show, Aloha from Hawaii!”

– It’s good to know they work with applesauce for anyone wanting to make the swap. Mahalo! – jenny

“Love your recipes and hacks. Having arthritis in my wrists this recipe has saved me. I added Kalamata olives and it was lovely.”

– Thank you for sending your photos. It all looks good to me. – jenny

“The dough was too sticky and hard to work into a pie. Missing a skillet and need a thermometer for my oven. It’s electric and I reduce the temp by at least 50 degrees. I needed to bake dough longer before adding ingredients. Nonetheless it was good enough to eat.”

“Jenny, thank you so much! I love reading your recipes (and watching the videos.) Followed both recipes exactly as written. All I can say is, “Delicious.” Thank you, Jenny! ~ Soreya from Orinda, California.”

“Hi Jenny! My name is Lucci, from Manila Philippines. I just turned 10 last July 16. Part of my birthday plans was to bake my own cake. I used your recipe again, it was soo easy. I did one layer, my sister did another layer, my mom frosted the cake, and I piped the borders!! It was so fun to do and it was delicious!!”

“My success! Love the no knead bread – stumbled upon the familiar face of Jenny Jones on YouTube with a no fuss bread recipe I was dying to try. Two weeks and a dozen loaves later, I am the hero of the family and the neighbors. I have taught my husband and his twin brother to make, and am sharing the recipe with many. Thank you!! Barbara in Ohio.”

“Hi  Ms. Jenny I had a taste for sweets…..when don’t I! I made your QUICK & EASY VANILLA CAKE  recipe and I used your recipe for MILD CREAM CHEESE FROSTING, a wonderful combination if you ask me. One change I made was to experiment with the cake pan size. That’s the only change I made, just to see if it’ll work for me. I use three of my 6” X 2” cake pans instead of one 9” cake pan. It worked perfectly for me, I just made sure the batter was evenly distributed in the pans. For me that was about 11oz. per pan, give or take a smidgen. I made sure I lined my pans with parchment paper for easy removal. Bake for about 18-22 minutes and then start checking it. They came out great, no problems whatsoever. I wrapped and froze one cake layer for another time. I doubled your frosting recipe in order to frost this cake. I assembled the other two cakes and added a sugar-free apricot filling. This cake recipe is very good!!! I will definitely be making this recipe again. BTW…..please excuse my decorating, I  was rushing because hubby couldn’t wait to eat it. Happy baking! Dalila.”

“Such an easy recipe and great results. The bread is delicious.  Guy Cesario, Oak Lawn, Illinois.”

“Last bake of today …. such an easy recipe!”

“Hi Jenny – Made this last night and it was a hit.  Had to use an induction hob for the 3 minutes before baking since I have a ceramic stovetop – I think it probably only needed 2 minutes because of that so will try that next time, but it was so good.  Loved the crispy crust on the top and bottom.  Thanks for being such an inspiration to so many of us as we’re spending more time in our kitchens.  ~ Bev (from Canada).”

– Thank you very much for the before and after -and that “after” looks so good!! – jenny

Pan Pizza from Jennycancook.com – before and after (starting on the Induction Hub, then into 500 degree oven)

“Hi Jenny! We were in the mood for BBQ pulled pork so I started that for our dinner. While that was cooking away I decided to make your Sesame Seed Hamburger Buns recipe. They were soooo good, so easy to make, such a great recipe! I baked the buns exactly like your recipe, tasty buns for sure, nice and fluffy! I froze some of them so we can enjoy them later. Have a good evening! Happy baking!”

– Your buns look great and that pulled pork looks divine! Thank you for your photos. – jenny

“Gigantic Cinnamon Bun! Hi Jenny. Love your recipes and your videos on you Tube, I discovered your videos while on  quarantine and been watching over a month before I realized its you Jenny Jones the talk show host, I used to watch you when I was a little girl.  I loved your shows. Good to see you again.   Here is my 2nd attempt at your cinnamon bun…. it came out gigantic and I put in a fancy twist. I’m from Oshawa, Canada. Stay safe and healthy Jenny! Cheers ~ Josie Lee.”

– I think you just started a trend. This looks amazing and what a great idea! Thank you. – jenny

“Hello, I’m Geert from Belgium. Best pizza in town … with your 20 min pizza dough! yours sincerely, Geert.”

– Wow, That looks fantastic! I’m so excited to see my pizza dough in Belgium!! Thank you. ❤️ – jenny

“I love these lemon “brownies” so much but I think it’s really more of a cake texture! Best, Pearl.”

– Thank you for this beautiful photo highlighted with a fresh lemon.🍋 It looks delicious! – jenny

“Hi Jenny, Made your vanilla cake and chocolate frosting for my 74th birthday on 7/8. The cake was delicious and I have enjoyed it everyday since making it. Followed the cake recipe exactly as well as your chocolate frosting recipe ( I did add 1/4 tsp of espresso powder). Every morsel I ate was DELICIOUS. Also want to say I have made many of your recipes and all have turned out well. Enjoyed the lemon brownies twice in the last month.Thanks for all the effort you put into your recipes and website. ~ Janice, Ann Arbor, MI.”

– That’s the way to do it – Frost it right in the pan! Your slice looks perfect. Thank you for sharing your photos. I just had my own 74th birthday in June – Happy Belated! ❤️ – jenny

“Dear Jenny, My name is Renata. I am Brazilian & Italian, but have been living in the UK for more than 30 years. I have been shielding with my hubby for the last 16 weeks. I don’t like cooking (although I cook every day from scratch!) and don’t like baking. I have a bread machine and in any other circumstances, my machine is as close I would be to baking. It’s therefore a pure coincidence that during lockdown, like so many people around the world, I felt this enormous desire for baking.

Yesterday I was looking for a chocolate cake recipe without egg. And came across to your YouTube video Quick & Easy Chocolate Cake. I made only half of the recipe (just measured all in half), used olive oil (the only oil I had at home) and didn’t used any vanilla extract (never bought it, don’t see the need). It was DELICIOUS!! Will definitely check your website for more easy recipes. My regards, Renata (Sinclair). Ps: I had to search how much 350 Fahrenheit was to Celsius (European grade oven).”

– How lovely are these heart-shaped cupcakes! ❤️ Thank you for sharing your photos and I hope you continue to discover the joy of baking. – jenny

“Hi Ms. Jones. I just want to thank you for sharing your awesome recipes. Being tired of the news & everything being politicized nowadays, I decided to get up & try baking your blueberry coffeecake. I used my toaster oven as it was a hot day to be baking in the oven. FYI… I had substituted some ingredients with light tasting olive oil, coconut brown sugar & just added a little lemon juice with the almond milk. I followed the recommended half all purpose flour- half white whole wheat flour. I used a metal cake pan as you can see and baked it in the toaster oven. Usually, with some recipes, I had to watch out during half of the total baking time and some would be done. This one was baked for what temperature & total time you mentioned and came out perfect! I don’t agree with any racial divide. I could only agree with dividing this delicious coffee cake! So, pardon me for the missing pieces before I took the photo. They were already eaten long time ago with hibiscus tea & our favorite coffee! Thank you so much and may God bless you.”

– Summer is definitely the time for blueberry recipes. I’m glad it was a hit and thank you for sharing the photo of (what’s left of 🙂) your cake. – jenny

“Hi Jenny, We are addicted to your no knead bread recipe!!! I’ve made it multiple times now and each time we are amazed and delighted on how it comes out! We love it! I like to put fresh, chopped up rosemary and garlic in it which makes it even more delicious! We are going to add kalamata olives next time. Thank you for your wonderful recipes!”

– Your photo would make anyone make their next loaf with rosemary and garlic. Thank you so much for the eye-popping photo. – jenny

“Dear Jenny, Thank you so much for all your amazing recipes, I’ve started baking during quarantine & have just made the egg free vanilla cake & the 2 minute frosting!  Delicious!! Also: Hello from my mom Krysia, who, like you has tons of roosters in her kitchen! ~ Kate Rogozinski, Edmonton, Canada.”

– Kate, you just made my day! ? I’m happy to see this cake turn out so well in a different kitchen. I’m so glad you liked it and my best to your mom, Krysia. ❤️ – jenny

“They were amazing!”

– And they look amazing, too. Thank you for the fabulous photo! – jenny

“Made bread for the 1st time ty.”

– Congratulations and thank you for the photo. It looks good! – jenny

“Dear Jenny, I found you on YouTube a couple of years ago and fell in love with your style! I teach cooking classes locally and through my Pampered Chef business. I have learned so much from you. I loathe white hamburger and hot dog buns, so usually make my own. But your recipe looked superior to anything I have done and so I tried it last night. What a success!! I grind my own flour, so did 50% spelt flour and 50% unbleached organic flour. I also used 2 TBSP honey instead of the sugar. The results were just over-the-top!! The next day, I used the leftover buns to make Reuben sandwiches with homemade sauerkraut and homemade corned beef (and homemade mayo). I was so proud of the buns and shared photos to my Facebook page and gave the link to your recipe. Thank you so much and I hope you keep cooking!! You are such an inspiration!! Warmly, Dianna Kasprzak, Mora, MN.”

– What? You didn’t make the wieners?! I’m joking of course, but a little bit in awe of all the things you make from scratch! The buns look and sound incredible. Thank you for the photo. – jenny

“Jenny, I have made these brownies several times.  They are delicious and easy to make.  My wife loves them, and she rarely eats sweets.  Thanks for creating these amazing recipes.”

– Thanks for sending this great photo. They are a favorite around here too. – jenny

“I love love love this bread. I bake several loaves every week and love to share it with my friends. I wish I had discovered the recipe earlier. It is SO easy.  Thank you SO much Jenny.”

– It’s nice to know it’s being shared with friends. Thank you for your photo (great crust!) – jenny

“Hi, Made it today for the first time. FABULOUS!! Can’t wait to try your other recipes. ~ Valerie – San Mateo, CA.”

– Thank you for the photo. Your bread looks beautiful and I’m guessing it’s all gone by now! 😋 – jenny

“Hi Jenny, tonight I made a leftover Turkey Dinner Pie using your amazing Chicken Pot Pie recipe.  I added leeks & rosemary to the filling, and put the pastry on the bottom.  For the topping I used the left over stuffing and used the last of the pastry to make little cut outs for the top of the pie.  We served it with a root mash (Celeriac and Sweet Potatoes boiled then mashed), and the pie was delicious! Highly recommend this pie as an idea to use up Turkey leftovers.  I used grapeseed oil for the pastry, and prefer it to the olive oil I used the last time.  I absolutely love your pastry recipe, and plan to use it to make empanadas.  We have wanted to make home made empanadas for years, but so many recipes call for lard, or shortening.  Now we have a great pastry recipe to use, and can’t wait to try making them. Thank you for sharing such wonderful recipes! I do hope that you publish another cookbook. ~ Catherine, Toronto, ON.”

– I agree about how easy oil pastry is and what a great way to adapt this recipe. – jenny

“Hi Jenny! I wanted to thank you again for all the easy recipes you have curated over the years. I have been able to enjoy the foods we buy/get a restaurants in the comfort of our home and they taste better! Here is a picture of our homemade pizza that everyone in my family enjoys. Thank you, Pamela.”

– Thank you for your photos. Nothing beats homemade, especially pizza! – jenny

– I’m not sure which cake this is (yellow or coconut) but either way, it looks really good, thank you. – jenny

“Once a month my student Ryan and I bake one of your recipes as part of our English lesson; we watch your video first. This is one of the most pleasurable part of our weekly classes. These videos not only help Ryan, who’s from Iran, with his English – he now knows words like ‘ingredients’, ‘whisk’, ‘aerate’, ‘spatula’, etc.– but he is also encouraged to try making the dish. He has learned the difference between measuring containers for dry and wet ingredients, too. When he took Cooking earlier this year with his Grade 8 classmates at school, he told me he was the only one to “know all the vocabulary”! One of our favourites was Dark Chocolate Fudge Brownies. We used a 70% cacao,100g bar of chocolate. The results were so delicious. He has even baked a batch at home with his mother.

– I’m so happy that my recipes are helping Ryan with both cooking and language. (Ryan, your brownies look fantastic – great job!! Keep cooking and learning – it’s really fun. 😀–  jenny

“Hello Jenny, It was sometime last year that I came across your many bread making videos on YouTube. I marvelled at how easy you made it look. I thought to myself this is just the thing I need to get started on. But life went on. CoVid came along. And here I was, at the start of the lockdown in India, testing my yeast on a pizza dough recipe, only to discover it was old. It was only last month that I managed to find every possible baking ingredient online but despite the arrival of the order, I sat idly. Today I ventured into the new arena. I made your 90 minute Simple Whole Wheat Bread. Hallelujah! And may God bless you!

“Hi Jenny! It’s your biggest fan from NC, Tabitha! ? the hubby put zucchini in the garden this year. Sssooo….  I doubled the recipe, put it in a Bundt pan & there you have it! I also added some instant coffee, I do to your fudge brownies as well. ❤️ Stay safe & thanks for your recipes!!”

“I have made this delicious loaf several times. So easy and fast with a soft crust, and the perfect texture for sandwiches or toast. Make sure you follow Jenny’s advice to put a foil tent over it after 15 minutes in the oven. ~ Nancy, Vancouver, Canada.”

“Hello Jenny! I’ve made the no-knead bread 3 times and it’s been wonderful each time, like, crazy perfect. Am trying with part wheat flour today. Oh, I also made several batches of your pizza dough. I tried several variations: as written, with honey, with unrefined organic sugar, pepper and garlic, Italian seasonings (that was the favorite but they were all good). Below is a barbecue chicken pizza topped with red onion, Gouda & Jack cheese and cilantro, and another with chicken and peppers. I make my own sauce because everything has added sugar and that isn’t good for hubby or me. The first recipe of yours I tried was the  lemon bars. The zest in the glaze was crazy good! However, I guess I spread the dough like I would a cake, so as you can see the middle caved in a bit…hmm…more glaze on those slices… no down side. During quarantine here in NY, I made food for an older couple who are dear friends (I’m VP of their charity, they are beautiful people and the wife happens to be Polish) and in conversation the wife mentioned she loves pierogies so I will be trying your recipe at some point soon.  Thank you for all of it!”

“Hi, Jenny! Wednesday is burger day at my house. As if that’s not special enough, I made these buns for the first time. They were so easy and good, the perfect taste and texture. I  made a double batch of dough, then split it into a loaf of bread, 4 hamburger buns and 4 hot dog buns. Thank you for your great recipes! Guess what’s on tomorrow’s menu?”

“Success! Made your Cabbage Roll recipe yesterday, they were a hit with the family.  We have a new favourite recipe.  Thank you for your clear instructions it made a daunting task easy.  I’ve always wanted to try making them but was so intimidated.  Can’t wait to go through your recipes and find our next family favourite! ~ Catherine from Toronto.”

“love your video’s. My first bread. Sally.”

“Jenny: I recently found your web site.  I love your recipes and enjoy reading your blog. I Have previously successfully made your quarantine bread recipe. Tonight, I made your focaccia bread. I made it a tad too thin,Think it’s because I have an oblong stone, and stretched it a little too much. It was still delicious. I want to thank you for making my quarantine less boring. I want to say that the hard part about your bread recipes is finding yeast. OMG…… it took forever! I don’t think this photo is a good representation of your recipe, not really pretty enough for you to share, but I wanted you to see it. You have a blessed day! ~ Connie Gibbons.”

“Hi Jenny! Thanks for the new hot dog bun recipe! It’s Sunday JennyCanCook Baking Day so of course I had to make these for my husband’s brats I’m grilling up later! I need to work on the shaping technique but not bad for the first try. Also, made a loaf of your no knead faster bread for a friend to go with my homemade strawberry jam I just gave them. Thanks again for your terrific recipes. Stay well!”

“Made no knead bread with bread flour added caraway seeds and lots of other bagel seasonings .better than all-purpose flour thanks for your wonderful recipes.judy.”

“Happy Belated Birthday Jenny! I am Neika-Gaye Jones from St. Kitts (Jamaican turned Kittitian). ?  What a pleasant surprise when I learnt that we share the same birthday though decades apart! ? I stumbled upon your cinnamon roll recipe and what a DELIGHT! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE that the sugar, sodium & cholesterol quantities are kept a healthy level yet it’s so DIVINELY DELICIOUS & RIDICULOUSLY EASY! As a health professional, mother of 2 children under 4 years old & wife of a personal trainer, this has become my “go to” recipe! We rarely ever frost it as it is SIMPLY AMAZING as is! I’ve shared it with other families, neighbors, friends and coworkers and the response is always the same: SHEER AWE!!! I’m looking forward to eventually trying some of your other recipes as I always come right back to this one! lol! Thank you for sharing your healthy and delicious recipes with the world. Your effort is much appreciated! #healthiswealth.”
