After dessert, I love making brunch. I’ve gotten really good at savory items but when there are a lot of people over I jump at the chance for sweet things- pancakes, french toast, crepes. It’s like having dessert in the morning. Every Thanksgiving and Christmas I make a sweet brunch item. It’s a warm up [...]

The chill of fall is really coming in which means it’s time to reluctantly, put away the grill, and clear out the oven for warm, hearty dishes. It’s the time of year when the oven is in action constantly. It’s energy-saving really because it will simultaneously cook and heat the kitchen. Win-win. Tonight I made [...] September 22, 2009
I don’t mind eating fig newtons, but I’m really not a big fan. The cookie/cake part is kind of dry and the figs are not a good combination with it. Maybe there isn’t enough fig filling so the whole thing is just dry. Instead of figuring it out I’ll just show you how I think figs [...] June 23, 2009
Another sunny day, perfect for a BBQ, and celebrating Father’s Day. I was trying to keep it simple and not get overly ambitious with too many dishes and yet somehow still spent 3 hours prepping and grilling. Isn’t it worth it though for good food? The menu was All American and it somehow worked out [...] June 14, 2009
I watched a demo done by Chuck Siegel, the owner of Charles Chocolates out of Emeryville, CA. Definitely glad to have been eating my Burgermeister Burger and Graeter’s Ice Cream because watching this on an empty stomach would have been brutal. Since he was demoing on the counter the best way to see was [...] March 19, 2009
What I love about See’s Candies is that they have signature sweets for every holiday. The best I think are in the Spring. I love seeing all the decorated eggs piled up on the shelves. One that I have always mistaken for an egg has been the St. Patrick’s Day potato. I pick it up [...] March 9, 2009
Inspired by my meal at Shopsins in New York. Shopsins is a diner- well not even, its just this open section of an inside food building, with creative brunch items such as slutty cakes, “Blister on My Sisters,” and most famous, the mac and cheese pancakes. I’ll admit I wasn’t going to even order the [...] March 1, 2009
So the cupcake madness has made its way to Sur la Table. The best part about the class is you get to actually make everything and have recipes to take home. In this economy, isn’t that better than paying $3 per cupcake? I’d still go to Sprinkles and Kara’s to try out flavors, but how [...] |
