There are a lot of recipes for cobbler out there, and we've read and considered (and made) quite a few of them. But we keep coming back to a very basic family recipe that is almost no recipe at all. W...
We've finally reached dessert in a series of posts about making my wedding a couple of weeks ago. I've already written about the main dishes and the accessorizing of the fish. Even though I knew it wo...

OK, this makes three - three! - dessert recipes with lavender that we've posted in the last month or two. Lavender is just such a wonderful ingredient for spring and summer desserts; used with a light...
On Friday, we gave you a roundup of some fun, summer popsicle molds. So, over the weekend, we decided to practice what we preached... ...
Remember that coconut jam we were wondering about last Friday? Well we didn't waste any time working it into a sweet treat... ...
While perusing one of our favorite stands at the Hollywood Farmers' Market last weekend, we glanced at their collection of customer-submitted recipes for new ideas. A recipe for sunflower date cookies...
You asked for it. Well, not really. (Most of you seemed "grossed out" by my post about Cooking with Colostrum.) But I'm giving it to you anyway: the recipe for Colostrum Raw Milk Ricotta....
Rhubarb is an odd fruit. To begin with, it's actually a vegetable - a vegetable with poisonous leaves. The stalks are crisp and juicy, with a vegetal crunch rather like celery. And yet this prosaic st...
We've been talking consistently this month about learning to cook without recipes. We have a few formulas and basic recipes that let us create free-form dishes on the spur of the moment. When it comes...
Are there spring berries yet where you live? We're still not seeing fresh, local berries here, so our plans for a dessert with fresh berries was foiled last weekend, and we had to turn to overwintered...
We've had bad luck with frozen yogurt in the past. With the exception of this Honeyed Blueberry Frozen Yogurt, which includes a cup of cream to smooth things out, we find that frozen yogurt just doesn...
From our pie tip earlier and the photo of all those wild blueberries on Friday you might surmise that we dipped into pie-making again. And you would be correct - we made a pie, a very pretty violet pi...
Shaker lemon pie - what a pleasure! The virtue of Shaker pies, like their furniture, lies in simplicity and straightforward character. And simplicity is this pie's crowning glory: jammy, tart, sweet, ...
Pastry and pie crusts all have roots in one basic recipe, but there are a myriad of tiny variations that bakers argue about endlessly. Butter, shortening, vodka - so many ways to tweak a pie crust! We...
It's not Passover yet. It won't be Passover for over a week. And this isn't even really our recipe. But this stuff is so awesome, we just had to post the recipe now. Crispy, flaky matzo covered wit...
Many food bloggers are looking toward Easter this week, anticipating Sunday's brunches, Easter egg hunts, and ham dinners. But there's also another important holiday happening, with a tasty food tie...
Coconut and Lime developed a delicious-looking absinthe cupcake, topped with green fairy icing and a sugar cube. We think the fresh anise taste and the green pastel color is just right for Spring and...
Early summer seems perfect for lemon meringue pie, blowsy with airy meringue and easy to wolf down before a late afternoon nap. But here on the precipice of spring, when it's still cold outside and su...
Blancmange is having its 15 minutes of fame over here at the Kitchn, and last week's reader photo jogged our memory of a similar childhood dessert that's not quite a pudding but not quite a cake, eith...
Are you having an Oscars party tonight? Are you trying any of our hors d'oeuvres for the Oscars, like There Will Be Blood Orange Jelly Smiles or Juno's Pregnant Dates? Even if you're not having a p...
On the weekends we like to do projects that will give us meal building blocks for freezing and later use. Sometimes these take a little extra time, so the weekend is the perfect time to invest in la...
Julie told us that she made this Bittersweet Chocolate Cranberry Shortbread because she loves to eat it, and it doesn't get much air time. She's right - shortbread is less sexy and dramatic than a c...
You've seen them on the dessert cart every time you went out for dim sum. But the lure of the custard tarts and the sesame balls has always been too strong, so you've never actually tried the jelle...
We are recent biscotti converts; we didn't realize until lately how wonderful they are, dunked into a cup of afternoon coffee. This recipe for Xocolatl-Cranberry Biscotti from Katie went in our to-...
