Tis the season to learn of new traditions. When I first heard of these I couldn't help but be excited. Greek Kourabiedes are popular special occasion cookies. They are often served at weddings, christenings and of course, Christmas. You might also find them on an ...
For the longest time, I think I've misunderstood raw eating. The desire for it or the satisfaction from it was a bit of a mystery as most of my comfort foods (mashed potatoes and gravy, minestrone soup or ooey gooey, fresh out of the ...
Dinner, oh dinner. Yeah, this is the big one. It's also the one that by experience has proven that planning ahead, pop it in the oven kind of dinners are waaaay more enjoyable than missing out on events while slaving away in the kitchen. Plus, ...
I've been thankfully blessed with an ever seemingly flowing deposit of cherries at market this season. My fingertips are stained and I've finally invested in a cherry pitter it's been such a bumper year. The other day, with another bowlful of cherries, I was called by ...
Eons since I've visited the south of France, I was whisked to my memories of the Mediterranean first, by a post by David Lebovitz and again by this book. The books recipe missed elements, like being tested apparently, but it reinforced ...

It's terrible but it's the truth. I almost didn't attempt to veganize this month's Daring Baker Challenge. Daunting to say the least when a cake has a dozen eggs in it to somehow replace. (...And that's not including the other two that were in the buttercream recipe.) After making ...
I wouldn't go so far as to label myself a hippie or anything. Although I do enjoy a good amount of Canned Heat, I'm just not old enough. What I could call myself is frugal. I grew up with granola in the house but ...
