This recipe is one I adapted from King Arthur Flour. Granola bars are one of those mass-produced items that are really easy to make on your own, and immensely more satisfying because you can customize them to your liking. For example, the original recipe called for, or at least suggested coconut, which I abhor (texture […]

This recipe started, like all good recipes, as something else. That something else is Nigella Lawson’s Guinness Chocolate Cake, which comes from her cookbook Feast. We have two birthdays in the month of March in our house, and St. Patrick’s Day falls smack in the middle of them, so this cake turned into my husband’s […]

I got this amazing book for Christmas. It’s called Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day. It has changed my life.
Here’s the simple concept: A batch of high moisture doughs sit in the fridge in a lidded container so that all you need to do is rip off a grapefruit-sized hunk of it, shape it, […]

When I first saw this recipe for Apple Pie Cookies on Baking Bites, I knew I had to make it pretty much immediately. And then I remembered the mountain of apples from a recent apple picking trip, which gave me further justification for heading into the kitchen.

If you aren’t, but you’re curious and want to […]

Ladies and Gentlemen, the chocolate show is coming soon. And by soon, I mean to say that in less than two months from now, you can sample new, unusual and creative offerings involving chocolate, everyone’s favorite indulgence at the 12th Annual International Chocolate Show in New York City.
Taking place over three days (October 30-November 1), […]

I didn’t set out to make a vegan cupcake. During my quest to make key lime bars for my dad’s birthday, I discovered my can of sweetened condensed milk was neither sweet nor condensed anymore. It was sour and coagulated. I thought I’d do a cheesecake, but did not have enough cream cheese. Instead, I […]

A few years ago, Cooking Light ran a big spread on wild Maine blueberries. As a lover of the state and of the fruit, I ripped out the section and kept it in my sloppy, dog-eared folder that’s bursting with ripped-out recipes. I return to the blueberry recipes time and again when I’m looking for […]
