Look at these spectacular ruby-hued poached pears. Gorgeous! We love poached fruit, and, inspired by David Lebovitz, we've been planning on poaching a couple pounds of pears this weekend. Well, reader...
We've got pears on the brain right now. While we love Fall apples, it's nice to switch it up every few days so we don't get tired of either fruit. First we talked about making pearsauce. But this is e...
Applesauce is one word, but pearsauce? That one isn't common enough to warrant its own one-word name. Maybe it should be, though. We've got a bag of seckel pears we need to use asap, and we're wonderi...
Rustic yet elegant, these pear dumplings are among the prettiest autumn recipes we've seen. We might have to plan a dinner party just so we can serve these for dessert!...

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 were arrested by this week's Amanda Hesser column in the Times Sunday Magazine; blanc mange, the milk pudding of the form-obsessed Victorians, was the topic. We had always wondered what exactly bl...
