Recipe: Tiramisu Bread Pudding
Guest Post from Teanna of Spork or Foon?

Bread Pudding ranks up there with rice pudding for me. And when I say "ranks up there", I mean, "YUCK". I have a thing with soggy carbs. They just shouldn't exist. As I was growing up, my father us...

Recipe: Benne Wafers
Guest Post from Tim Mazurek of Lottie + Doof

This Northern cook is obsessed with Southern food. Fried green tomatoes, grits, pimento cheese, vinegar pie, buttermilk biscuits and hummingbird cake, I like it all. Southern food, like all traditiona...

Recipe Review: One Bowl Mascarpone Brownies

We have an indecisive sweet tooth. We hold the same passion for desserts that are ridiculously fussy and complicated, as we do for ones that involve a single bowl and whisk that can be whipped up in...

Recipe: A Modestly-Sized Cake with Lemon, Walnuts, and Chocolate Chunks

Do you like éclairs? What about profiteroles, cream puffs, and cheesy gougères? Aside from making us drool just thinking about them, the one thing all these pastries have in common is th...

Recipe: Weeknight Layer Cake Built for Two

We love to bake a good old-fashioned layer cake, and needless to say we love to eat one too. But the process of baking and decorating a large cake can be time-consuming, and frankly the week-long stru...

Recipe: Mexican Spiced Wedding Cookies

I usually associate these nutty, round, powdered-sugar dusted with Christmas because my grandmother made them every year of my childhood. We called them Mexican Wedding Cakes, but they're known by man...

Quick and Easy Dessert: Shortbread Jam Tart

Have you ever made a jam tart? We can't think of an easier old-fashioned dessert. You just spread a pretty little shortbread base with some thick, tasty jam, and bake it until it's shiny and a little ...

Recipe: Nigella Lawson's Chocolate Guinness Cake

As a person of Irish heritage, I always feel a little treacherous admitting this, but honestly I don’t really like to drink Guinness. Still, once a year I do consume a bit of Guinness to celebrate S...

Recipe: My Mother's Irish Soda Bread

When I was little, my mother had a tea towel with a map of Ireland on it, and the map was crammed with family names so you could find which county your ancestors came from. For St. Patrick’s Day she...

Recipe Roundup: Savory Bread Pudding

Recipe: Sticky Toffee Cakelets

Back in LA for two weeks, I'm having flashbacks to the work I did here a few years ago on my book, The Greyston Bakery Cookbook (Rodale). One of the groups of recipes I added to the book that were no...
