I’ve been on a bit of a macaron hiatus ever since my batch of chocolate macarons a few months ago. I’ve been craving macarons but the fix I really want is to hop on a plane to Paris and hit up Pierre Herme but since that isn’t in the […]
Whenever I hear the word Babka I inevitably think of the Seinfeld episode where Jerry and Elaine try to secure a chocolate babka. I remember watching that episode when it first aired, likely nearly 20 years ago (holy!), and not really knowing what a babka was to begin with. After watching […]
Every once in awhile I buy a new cookbook and I get my money’s worth very quickly. Recently I’ve been loving Ina Garten aka Barefoot Contessa’s . The recipes are delicious and really easy to make. A lot of great dinner party recipes too.
