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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
These miso chocolate chip cookies are delightful. I love a salty-sweet combo (like pineapple on pizza. yes, I like pineapple on pizza!!), and the miso here adds a lovely and subtle salty, earthy taste to the cookies. This recipe is a typical chocolate chip cookie […]
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 […]
A few weeks ago I had the privilege to go to New York. Visiting New York is always a privilege, you’re instantly reminded that there’s so much to do and and so much to see in the world. Then, you realize that really, you’re just […]
I made these cookies a few weeks ago, back when fall was in full swing. Fast forward to now, when everyone’s busy baking gingerbread cookies, I thought, well, better late than never. It’s still pumpkin season after all, and the recipe does call for ginger, […]
Peach season is not officially over until late September, and that’s great news because it means you still have time to try this gorgeous Fresh Peach Cake. An Ina Garten’s recipe, it’s truly phenomenal and flawless. The combination of fresh peaches, cinnamon and nuts and […]
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 […]
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 […]
Self-identifying as a dessert person, I don’t believe desserts are evil. As Claire Saffitz puts it, no meal is complete without something sweet at the end. There’s always room for dessert. When I find practical recipes that have no processed sugars, are gluten-free, and dairy-free […]
June is prime time for strawberries, and sure, I can’t resist getting them in the middle of January or when they first start populating grocery stores when spring comes around, but out of season they’re for the most part just tolerable. When finally in season, […]
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 […]
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 […]
