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. [...]
They're everywhere I tell you!!! I’m talking about those luscious, plump and rosy morsels of goodness - strawberries of course! I can’t resist them and often buy them to try out in a new recipe but end up using them in a smoothie. Ripe strawberries wait for no one and will lose their luster and [...]
Did you know that you can eat banana skins? Me either! Apparently the vegan/vegetarians have been doing it for years and didn’t tell us about it! As skeptical as I was of this Banana Bread recipe, I just had to try it. This is my version of Whole Banana Bread/Cake. So delicious, so satisfying! There [...]
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 [...]
Not another sugar cookie, nope not this time, this is a Blood Orange Sugar Crinkle cookie! And before you say "tomayto/tomahto", this cookie is like looking at a sunny day that not only brightens your spirits but make you look forward to all the safe activities in the sun! They are delicious soft and chewy [...]
An easy to do recipe – my favorite kind, 7 ingredients and an amazingly delicious cake - no mixer required! This is a brown butter cake and the first bite you take, will transport you to one of those lovely intimate restaurants you find on the back streets in Rome. It is a rustic cake [...]
There is a reason why Nik Sharma has risen to great acclaim. He’s just a brilliant Chef who brings a scientific approach not just to baking but also to cooking. I’ve been following his blog “A brown table” for a while now and have cooked and baked his recipes with, in my humble opinion, wonderful [...]
Yes my favorite citrus is back (it’s been back for a while really)! But, the season is almost gone so if you haven’t picked up any blood oranges yet, I suggest you do that right now. Tighten up the drawstring on those buffet pants and get to the store. Go on, I’ll wait… You back, okay!! [...]
Okay, for some of you, Banana Bread has been in your repertoire for just over a year now (for others a lot longer). Well everything you thought you knew about delicious tasting banana bread, throw away. This is a vegan recipe that will make you a vegan banana bread lover. All you need I've listed [...]
Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone! A great reason to have a drink and toast your Irish heritage – I know I’ll be having a sip or two! I was searching through my recipe archives and new posts recently for something Irish. I’ve done other Irish themed recipes on this site – Soda Bread, Corned Beef, [...]
