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 […]
It has been almost a year since I last blogged about No-Knead Bread. For awhile I was chronicling my every attempt to perfect my no-knead bread technique (click here for search results) but I honestly haven’t made the bread in awhile.
On a recent trip to Philadelphia I had […]
I’m forever on a quest to make cookies that look (and feel and taste) like cookies that you’d find in a bakeshop. I want my cookies round, kind of chewy and pretty flat, is that too much to ask? In years past my cookies were a bit of a disaster […]
While I was in Miami for the holidays I bought a copy of the on sale. I’ve already made the lemon bars with success so now it’s just a matter of cooking my way through the book.
I decided to tackle the scones. Oddly enough I NEVER […]

Quelle horreur! Yes, it’s a macarons graveyard of sorts.
As you may recall this year I became pretty engrossed with making French macarons – mostly with success. I felt like I was blessed with some sort of macaron-making gene when my first batch turned out well with few casualties. […]
Christmas is upon us and while I’m not a big Christmas baker I can’t let a holiday season pass me by without making these fruitcake bars! I actually posted about these two years ago but decided to revisit them. The photo on that old post doesn’t […]
My sister came to town for American Thanksgiving and commissioned a sweet potato pie… from me. Not only did she commission a sweet potato pie but she also asked for either fresh whipped cream or ice cream. Because I’m nice I accepted the job and went to town looking for a […]
