Home Made

In her latest cookbook, Nature’s Candy—named one of the best of 2024 by Bon Appétit—Camilla Wynne introduces readers to the art and science of candied fruit. But the master preserver and former musician sees all of it as creative work. She writes her books (she’s currently working on her fourth) at home and develops recipes and teaches online workshops on canning, confectionary and more here, in her home kitchen. “It’s a nice place to work, but we’ve outgrown it,” says Wynne. She and her family are moving on to a new space, in the same Toronto west-end neighbourhood. “I will miss it, for sure.”

  • Cutting Board & Orange “I’m teaching marmalade. When I demo on camera, I’m not going to make them watch me cut up every orange, but I have one out so they can see how I cut it.”
  • Scale Model “It’s a model of a tiny kitchen that we built. It’s going to make your eyes hurt and your hands want to fall off, but it’s so fun. I’ve made three now.”
  • Ceramic Pitcher “It’s a fox wearing a top hat. I use it to pour custard.”
  • Recipe “I’ll pull recipes out of magazines and just tape them all over the cupboards. They remind me that I want to make something.”
  • Drying Chili Peppers “I have a needle and thread, and whenever they’re ripe, I thread them and leave them there to dry.”
  • KitchenAid Mixer “I’ve had it since 2002 probably. They’ve apparently [since] changed the inside parts from metal to plastic. I know so many people who’ve gone through so many in the time I’ve had just this one. And it’s not like I don’t put it through its paces.”
  • Salt and Pepper Shakers “I bought them off my grandpa when I was a kid. He had an antiques museum and store. I was obsessed with these and wanted them so badly.”
