A few weeks ago Mary Luz over at Sizzling Communications invited me to attend a butter tasting of Stirling Creamery at Lynn Crawford’s restaurant Ruby Watchco.  Seeing as butter is my middle name I was definitely going to be in attendance.

I’m not sure what switch has been flicked in my brain but recently dessert has been a big deal for me. Sure, I’ve always been a dessert kind of gal but I’d usually be happy enough settling for a few squares of chocolate, an apple pie from McDonald’s (my kryptonite) or a cookie [...]

For this trip I decided to do something a bit different and signed up for a cooking class. I know a few people that have done this on their vacation and highly recommended it. What I really wanted was to sign up for an intermediate or advanced pastry class but I couldn’t find one [...]

I don’t know about you, but I’m trying to hold on to the last bits of summer. This summer wasn’t any better or worse than any other summer. Sure, I had a wonderful vacation to London and Berlin. I even took another week off to do a yoga retreat at Kripalu [...]

Perhaps one of the highlights of eating in London was discovering the joys of Eton Mess.  I enjoyed Eton Mess for the first time at St. John and then again at Hereford Road. I love that it is a really simple dessert and that it’s a great way to showcase [...]

Rhubarb and Strawberry Tart with Brown Butter Streusel

On June 13, 2011 · 10 Comments

Last year I was pretty obsessed with Rhubarb.  I think it was because I was at the farmers market every weekend and was so on top of what was local and in season.  I made a great Rhubarb Strawberry Pudding Cake and a Country Rhubarb Cake and was pretty [...]

Coconut Creme Brulee

On May 18, 2011 · 8 Comments

One of the downsides to making a lot of macarons is the load of egg yolks that you inevitably end up with.  I usually put the yolks in a container and freeze them for later use.  The other day I made a pact with myself that I wouldn’t make any more [...]
