Peaches and Cream Pavlovas

I’m so behind on recipes. Summer is officially over and peaches are slowly leaving grocery stores shelves, and yet here we are with… Peaches and Cream Pavlovas! But who says pavlovas are strictly a summer recipe? If you can’t find peaches, there’s always berries and […]

Strawberry Peach Cobbler

I make peach cobbler every summer and for years this Bon Appetit recipe has been my go-to. This year I thought I’d try a different variation, and this one is adapted from Dorie Greenspan’s Everyday Dorie. I find drop-biscuit cobblers perfect for summer, but I’m not gonna lie; I’m […]

Classic French Crêpes

These pancake’s French counterpart are so delicate and delicious. Classic French Crêpes are elegant and thin, because they don’t have any leavening agents, which also means they’re not as fluffy. But they’re folded and rolled with a plethora of fillings, so they can be just […]

Croissant with Dulce de Leche Ganache

This lovely little dessert/snack is the easiest thing to put together. Think of it as churros, but easier, because we’re not making anything from scratch, we’re cheating! Instead of making your own croissants and turning this into a days-long dessert, just use store bought.  For […]

I love the simplicity of cornbread. It’s mostly basic ingredients and a basic preparation, and yet it can be a side to a chili on a cold winter night or a bright dessert on a hot summer day. We all have a trusted family recipe and […]

Buttermilk Donut Holes

These little Buttermilk Donut Holes hold a special place in my heart. Growing up, my mom used to make these from time to time, but she’d usually keep them for rainy days. They always felt like such special little treats. We’d ask her to undercook […]

Chocolate Pots de Crème

I’m fascinated by rich desserts that are made of simple ingredients that you’re likely to have on hand. French cuisine is full of such miraculous recipes: crème brulée is basically cream, eggs, and sugar. Dairy products, staples for French cooking, are found in all types […]

Oatmeal Almond Cookie Sandwiches

I’m always thrilled to find healthy-ish desserts, like these Oatmeal Almond Cookie Sandwiches. Although technically, I never need an excuse to indulge in desserts. I’m usually very pleased to satisfy my sweet tooth, whatever it takes. I’ve recently come to the conclusion that what is […]

Strawberry Summer Cake

I welcome any excuse to have my apartment smell like a strawberry patch. Although it’s not quite summer yet, it’s on its way. Strawberries are here, letting us know it’s coming, evoking summer memories, preparing us for new ones. As a June baby, I’ve always […]
