I'm submitting this cookie for you to try. I'll admit it isn't a beautiful cookie, but it does have a lovely short-bread like texture with a delicate bite from the black pepper and candy coated fennel. The dough is wonderful to work with and comes together in the processor. Fennel is a great digestive in [...]
This recipe seems a bit complex but it really is worth making! You know I usually avoid these types of recipes that involve planning and shopping, but I initially started off in the direction of my version of fusion style fruitcake. I pulsed up the dried fruit in my processor (like black cake) until I [...]
These will go great with your charcuterie board or brunch table or even just with cocktails! You know that hungry feeling when its way past dinner and you are only going to be up for a few more minutes – these would do the job! They have oats and some spicy ingredients to provide enough [...]
Oh this is the season for this taste! Pumpkin, maple, salted pumpkin seeds – could life be any tastier! This is 2021 Christmas Treat #3 – Maple Pumpkin Biscotti. I like this recipe because it’s not too sweet, has the right amount of crunch and is amazing with an espresso, tea, glass of white, red, [...]
Okay, this smells/looks like Christmas in a cookie! It’s got all the right elements. It’s from Benjamina Ebuela, from the Great British Bake Off series which I slightly adapted. The taste is rich with treacle – like a molasses/corn syrup mix, with the heat of ginger, lots of it and muscovado sugar - umami plus [...]
Oh my goodness! We are already in December! I sure I hope I can get all "12 Treats for Christmas" 2021 done in time. Regardless, I will post as I make them, so please enjoy. This is our second Covid-state Christmas – let’s hope it’s our last Covid-state Christmas! I think this recipe is a [...]
I haven’t made a cookie for you in a while and in hindsight, I'm glad I didn’t because you will love this one. It comes together beautifully well, intensely chocolatey, and as always – room for add-ins and swaps. This Chocolate Toffee Nut Cookie adapted slightly from the Epicurious site, is my new favorite cookie. [...]
Happy Juneteenth! What a wonderful day to celebrate! The abolishing of slavery in the United States. I must admit that one good thing that came out of this pandemic for me, was having the time to read more and become more aware of what is happening not just in my back yard but around the [...]
You will definitely need to put a lock on that cookie jar after you make these, either that or wear your stretchy pants! Some of my favorite flavors are in this cookie – pecans, coffee, vanilla and of course a finishing salt for the final touch. These are salted Toffee, Pecan biscuits. An adapted recipe [...]
This is a modified version of a Rhubarb Ginger cake from those wonderfully talented folks at Food 52. I have been dying all year long to make something with rhubarb. I usually do at least one rhubarb blog a year – baking, cooking or sweet or savory pickling. I was nervous I wouldn’t find any [...]
