At home, Mayor Michael Prue is the cook—especially when it comes to baking. His banana loaf is a family favourite, developed over the years from a simple newspaper recipe. With a few clever modifications—like layering chocolate chips so they don’t sink, and swapping in sour cream for added richness—he’s perfected a moist, flavourful treat that’s both easy and indulgent.

This isn’t Michael’s first time contributing to a cookbook, either. He’s shared his creations in other collections, always happy to offer something comforting and accessible. Whether for family, friends, or neighbours, this loaf is his go-to comfort bake—practical, delicious, and made with care.
