        A lemon Bundt cake became Owen's baking epiphany, a life-changing creation that set her on the path to gaining the professional skills she would need to bake for a living. Several years later, she opened Epiphany Bakes in her home in Nelson, BC, where, for more than 20 years, she has been gifting residents and visitors with her brand of sweet treats. Owen shares 60 of her favorite recipes, including brownies, cookies, and cakes that embody her made-from-scratch philosophy, using high-quality ingredients. Owen puts her own twists on sweet staples such as lemon bars (her version eschews the traditional shortbread crust topped with curd in favor of an all-in-one recipe that includes buckwheat and brown-rice flour), as well as providing bakers with three versions of carrot cake (classic, gluten-free, and vegan). Several recipes bring her family legacy into the mix, such as pistachio-rose rice pudding (giving a nod to her mother's Middle Eastern heritage) and rhubarb-cherry galette with pastry cream (reflecting her father's Midwestern farm roots). VERDICT Beginning and experienced bakers alike will be enchanted by Owen's cozy Canadian brand of culinary charm, which underscores the power of baking to bring people together.--John Charles
