This was an experiment – it could have gone either way, but if it went that way – you wouldn’t be reading this. Oh it was a pleasant surprise! A delightful soft cookie with flavor combinations that really aren’t that unusual when you think about it. I’m sure if you have been to Italy you [...]
Think of this as an alternative to a traditional pizza crust. It uses chickpea flour which makes it gluten free (and is high in protein, iron and fiber – closing google), so everyone in the family can enjoy it – please don’t tell me you are allergic to chickpeas! There are versions of this chickpea [...]
Here’s a lovely cake recipe for you to make. It would be ideal to serve this after a nice dinner. It doesn’t need to be dressed with anything to be elegant. The taste is rich and a small portion (good luck with this) is more than enough. If you really want, with the addition of [...]
Oh this is a must try recipe – unless there are nut allergies in your household. My wife and daughter had this cake – or something like it, at a tea shop a while ago. They raved about it to me which I always take to meaning I should make it. I scoured the internet [...]

This is a tasty grown up cookie. It has all the elements of a child’s cookie – but it has the unmistakable quality of an adult cookie. The espresso in this coffee is wonderfully pronounced. This is originally from a Dorie Greenspan cookie which – as you know, is one of my favorite Pastry Chef’s. [...]
Hi Chris, I just wanted to take a minute to tell you how great everything was for the party. The food was simply delicious – folks were raving about the Beef Spoons, Chicken Skewers, Curried Maple Butternut Squash Soup, Beef Tenderloin and not forgetting the delicious Taiwan Rice and awesome Birthday Cake. There was so [...]
I know I've given you a lot of baking recipes - still seems like Christmas Treats rule this house. I'm changing it up a bit with this recipe which is one of my favorite dishes to make. It has some heat to it – lots of heat actually, but you can tone it down if [...]
Sweet potato! In a cake?! Well why not! Not much though, just ½ a cup, but it lends such richness and an earthy sweetness to this cake. But the real star is the boost it gets from the addition of the seasonally available blood orange. Only a little time left to get them, the season [...]
