There's nothing that pairs better with a scoop of ice cream than a slice of fruity pie or bowl of fresh, seasonal crumble. Today I bring you the first signs of summer; a downright plucky combo of just-cooked apricots and strawberries, playing host to a golden, almond cookie-enriched topping. More

2011_12_15-CoconutSugar.jpgI've recently run across three recipes calling for superfine sugar: one a delicate cake, one a soufflé, and one a pudding. Each recipe had enough details to consider as it was. Did sugar really have to be one of them? More

2009_05_08-Second.jpgSomething about spring makes me want to throw healthy cooking to the wind. Of course there is plenty of good cooking to be done in the spring with all those temptingly fresh vegetables, but after the cold of winter I also want to luxuriate in the sunshine with something easy, quick, and decadent. Like an ice cream sandwich. A really, really good ice cream sandwich. A (dare I say it?) perfect ice cream sandwich. More

2012_05_14-cookies.jpg When one reader asked us where to buy online baking equipment, I jumped at the chance to share a few of my favorite spots around the web for the most perfect whole grain flours, baking molds, and fragrant vanillas. More

Fresh-baked bread is a special treat, a delicious treasure of a home-cooked meal. But we know how hard it can be to tackle bread. Some days you have a whole day to devote to the kneading, rising, and tending of a loaf of artisan bread. Other days, you don't think about bread until 15 minutes before the meal. Well, you know what? We're here to tell you that you can indeed get hot biscuits on the table in 15 minutes.

Today we've gathered up our favorite bread recipes and sorted them by the time it takes to make them. How much time do you have to make bread today — 15 minutes? An hour? Three hours? More? Whether you have an hour or a day, you can enjoy fresh bread with your supper. More

2012_05_15-EggBake.jpgI developed this recipe specifically for those times when I'm dining solo. It's not that it can't be expanded to feed two or more, but I like the fact that it is my special, alone-time treat. It is truly one of my favorite meals: good, basic, hearty eating that fills me up and makes me ready for whatever life is throwing my way. It's suitable for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I am very happy to share it with you today. More

2012_05_15-VeganBaking.jpgAnnie Shannon knows all about vegan baking substitutions. The food blogger and author of the upcoming Betty Goes Vegan cookbook spent the last couple years cooking her way through the all-American, decidedly omnivorous Betty Crocker Cookbook, transforming every recipe into a vegan version of the original. Hundreds of cupcakes later, she has a few recommendations for the best vegan substitutions for common baking ingredients. More

One of nature's great wonders, popovers are made with just milk, eggs, and flour. Plus a little butter and sugar, if you're feeling sneaky. Whisk, pour into tins, and bake (no peeking!). A half hour later, you're rewarded with the most incredibly airy and crispy puffs you could ever imagine. Oh, and p.s., no popover tin required. More

2009_02_13-Souffle.jpgMany folks are scared of soufflé. And I get it. You hear stories all the time about a soufflé collapsing or simply not rising in the first place. If you've never seen anyone else make a soufflé, it can seem a little daunting to tackle the task from a simple recipe. But really, truly I am here to tell you that it's absolutely do-able. Not only is it do-able, it's something you can easily master on an average old weeknight. More

2012_04_26-LimeCookies.jpg Sometimes the best desserts are born from imitation. Such is the case with these cookies. I first had a Cornmeal Lime Cookie here in Seattle at one of my favorite bakeries, Honore. I was running in to get a macaron and saw a friend who asked if I was picking up a Cornmeal Lime Cookie. I told her I'd never tried one; she looked at me as if I was crazy. Everything changed that day. More
