I was secretly happy that this week’s Baked Sunday Mornings project didn’t actually involve any baking. My life right now consists primarily of commuting to San Francisco for my culinary school externship, spending the bulk of the day at said externship (at the fabulous Bar Tartine), and recovering from time spent on my feet moving, [...]

Larry got a couple of decent photos of these cookies immediately after I put them together, but I decided to show a later image so I don’t have to describe the horrors that are happening in my kitchen right now. Despite my love of all things caramel, alfajores aren’t my favorite cookie. It’s the sandwich [...]
I’ll just say up front here that I don’t really like Nutella. It’s the hazelnuts that put me off – they taste weird to me, not a fan. But I can be convinced to consume hazelnuts in certain forms. Once we had a cake at a friend’s birthday party – I don’t remember exactly what [...]
I just love Bundt cakes. And pair a Bundt with copious amounts of butter, rum and black pepper, and I’m in heaven. This cake doesn’t disappoint. It’s got a dense, moist crumb that has all of the qualities of a good rum – slightly sweet and aromatic, with a hint of molasses – without being [...]
This is the second time I’ve made black & white cookies. The only commercial version I’ve ever had are the ones from William Greenberg Desserts in NYC, so I don’t have a large body of knowledge to draw from when it comes to rating how these cookies stack up. Ironically, despite my lack of black [...]
I was happy to see something relatively simple on this week’s Baked Sunday Mornings schedule. And Larry and I both love key lime pie. This is an interesting twist on the traditional key lime pie. I approve of the pretzel crust – it’s a little salty, and the flavor works really well with the tart [...]
I went a couple of different directions with this lovely pistachio chiffon cake. I wasn’t up for a huge layer cake, so I split up the batter into a dozen cupcakes plus a cute little 6×3 cake, which I split into three layers. I love how the 6″ cake looks, and it makes nice, perfectly [...]
So, souffles. I think they’re one of those things that seems hard or finicky to make because of the magic poofing that happens when heat is applied to something as simple eggs and a few other ingredients. But they’re pretty simple and not finicky at all – the only downside is that they deflate rather [...]
I’m admitting to cutting this recipe way down – it’s only got three ingredients, so I scaled to 2 ounces of milk chocolate. I just wasn’t sure about this, especially since I don’t particularly like peanut butter. I’m glad I didn’t make more. Not because I didn’t like it, but because it tastes just like [...]
I think it’s official: I don’t like lemon shaker pie, and neither does Larry. I’m positive this is a great version – the Baked crust is always phenomenal, and the recipe instructions to blanch (optional, but I did it) and sugar the lemons first does a good job of reducing the bitterness. The resulting filling [...]
