Caramelized Honey Pumpkin Pie. Just reading the words is enough to make one intrigued or at least pique curiosity. For me, the words are powerful. They make me want to run to the nearest grocery store and fill my basket with the finest butter and […]
Desserts
Apple Cobbler with Vanilla Custard
There are a few homemade recipes that can’t be beat. When Fall rolls around and the days start getting dark, I start craving certain foods. A spiced fruit cobbler is right up on the list. I’m a big fan of drop biscuit cobblers and always […]
Lemon And Ricotta Donuts
These homemade lemon and ricotta doughnuts (aka The Best Donuts Ever) are so easy and so incredible, it would be a shame not to share them. So being the kind, considerable person that I am, I’m sharing them. Ricotta and lemon are an iconic duo […]
Dessert for One: mascarpone cream with caramelized bananas
This mascarpone cream with caramelized bananas is part of the Dessert For One series. Think of the way society is built: it’s a couple’s world! But this series reclaims individuality. I mean, what if you have a sweet tooth and live alone? What if your […]
Baked Chocolate Tart
Chocolate tart is to desserts what a little black dress is to fashion: simple, elegant, and timeless. We all need, and probably already have, a go-to recipe. This baked chocolate tart is a take on the classic ganache tart, with a baked custard and a […]
Strawberry Black Pepper Jam
Strawberry Black Pepper Jam – a very humble recipe that begged to be shared. This is a lesson in turning your rotting berries into jam. Don’t throw your rotting berries away! Not in this economy. Before you judge me, I agree, the term “rotting fruit” […]
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 […]
Mini Croissants with Dulce de Leche Ganache
These Mini Croissants with Dulce de Leche Ganache are 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 […]
Miso Chocolate Chip Cookies
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 […]
Cornbread Loaf
Aside from the toasted almond flour (we’ll get into that in a second), everything else id pretty straightforward as it should be: dry ingredients in a bowl, wet ingredients in a blender. Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients, stir to combine and pop it in […]
Strawberry Shortcake Pudding Cups
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 […]
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
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, […]
Fresh Peach Cake
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 […]
