Some blogging friends and I got to chatting about pie recipes one day on Twitter. Remember the movie “Waitress?”… all the pies with the funny names that the main character would bake up as she daydreamed of a life without her deadbeat husband?
If you haven’t ever seen this movie, you simply must rent it- it’s pretty hilarious. [...]
There are hedges upon hedges of rosemary growing wildly in our backyard. It competes with thyme, lavender and mint growing nearby, but its scent almost always takes the lead in our hot, dry air. I’ve learned to love it and use it often in the kitchen. It’s wonderful in cookies, cakes and breads, but I [...]
As soon as I got wind of David Leite’s new cookbook, The New Portuguese Table: Exciting Flavors from Europe’s Western Coast, I knew it was going to have to be an immediate addition to my ever-expanding cookbook collection.

Yep, it’s almost fall… so the fall recipe experimenting begins! It’s a bit too early though… I went to 4 markets before I could actually find a can of pure pumpkin puree. Apparently, it’s a “seasonal” item. But since I’m one of those people who will drive to the end of the earth to find [...]
Sometimes I bake things that I’m not really quite sure about. I mess with existing recipes and I develop my own, and I don’t always really know if all is going to work out. I guess that’s pretty normal for recipe development… trial and error. And then trial and error again until you meet with [...]
