So, how did your weekend Cure activities go? Is your fridge gleaming? Are your cupboards decluttered and neat? I wish mine were! I have been meaning to show you my own fridge, in the spirit of honesty...
I thought it would never happen: I have copies of my book in hand. It's such a thrill. The cover is embossed! I can hardly stand it! For those of you who have been reading for some months, you mig...
Sometime last weekend I made my seventy-fifth recipe. I don't really remember how or when, but according to my spreadsheet, all of them are now checked off. I had a whole new kind of sugar-crash wh...
If it's 93° F outside and you're basically cooking outdoors (big open kitchen at mother-in-law's place on Long Island), and the oven is on for much of the day at 350° F, is there a way to calculate t...
On a day where temperatures were predicted to be in the mid-90s, the only reason I didn't take the day off from baking was because the forecast for today was for temperatures in the high 90s, and I ...
It's getting down to the wire. The book is due a month from today. I have ten more recipes to test, and quite a bit of writing to complete. There also is a very active baby in my belly that often ...
I have one thing, and one thing only, to show you. And I'm not going to show you a slice, because then you'd really catch on to what a doozie of a day I had yesterday....
So it was a little hot in the kitchen... kitchens are supposed to be hot. I decided to just surrender to my surroundings and bake in my bikini. It was quite a site. But being relaxed is sometimes...
Yesterday was supposed to be the kick-off to another five-days-straight of baking. Except that it was 87° F in the kitchen. If I knew the book would be heavily marketed in tropical regions, maybe ...
Any baker knows this, but when it happens to you, it's the most frustrating thing: humidity, which is what I had in my kitchen between the 80° F temps and the inches of rain that fell. Tart crusts d...
It's painful to be 94.4% of the way through a job and have to stop. We almost made it yesterday, but on our eighteenth shot of the week, had to call it quits. Look at that pesky little piece of ch...
Yesterday, we rocked and rolled on the photography for the book: five shots in one day. From oatmeal bars to a rhubarb tart, and a few others in between, we ended up with some great photos. I was ...
It must've been the brand new Viking oven, because the tea cake I baked last night for today's shot came out mighty strange. Since this is a family site, I won't go too far into detail, but this cak...
Next week I'm playing Art Director as the photos for my book are shot in Hollywood. Well, North Hollywood, which is in the valley and where a lot of the real Tinseltown actually works. (See it there...
