Holiday Q+A: Dessert for a Crowd
Hi Lindsey, Please help! We’ve been invited to my sister-in-law’s for Christmas and there will be 21 adults plus many kids running around. I’m supposed to bring dessert. I am hoping you can give me some good ideas for easily transportable desserts….I love your peppermint bark brownies idea so that will probably be one of […]
Pear Butterscotch Pie
Gourmet. There are no words. I was sad when Domino bid farewell, but that was nothing compared to having to say good-bye to probably the greatest food magazine ever. At least they are ending on a high note. Their last several issues have been so amazing–the photography and food styling, the recipes and articles. I […]
Malted Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies
Malt. Let’s talk about malt. I love it. It’s so….malty. And it’s one thing that was definitely meant to be paired with milk chocolate. (Another point goes to malt!) There’s something comforting about the slightly sweet flavor of malt. When paired with whole wheat in these cookies, it’s even better. My husband said these cookies […]
Dinner Tonight: Balti Butter Chicken, et al
(image via Penzey’s Spices*) When I was in high school, I had a friend whose mom made the best curry EVER. Sometimes if I was lucky, she’d bring me some. My family didn’t eat curry. They claim to not like it. So. Back in 2001 when I moved to NY, the family I worked for […]
Refreshing Blood Orange Sherbet
This blood orange sherbet is easy to make and incredibly refreshing to eat. I’ve lost count of how many sherbet recipes I’ve adapted from the original Cooks’ Illustrated sherbet recipe. It’s such a great recipe. I hope you enjoyed Friday’s Cantaloupe recipe from Amanda. My husband was drooling over it. I actually made this sherbet back […]
Root Beer Cookies
A long, long time ago when I was a little girl, my mother’s good friend brought us a plate of Root Beer Cookies. Clearly it was a memorable day because since then I have personally made these cookies probably a hundred times. They are one of my family’s favorite cookies now that I have […]
Cantaloupe Sherbet by Guest Amanda Waddell
I love connecting with readers. Amanda left a comment a few weeks ago about adapting a recipe for sherbet using cantaloupe. I asked her if she’d share her lovely picture and recipe with you. Yay! She agreed. Thanks, Amanda! This sherbet, adapted from Lindsey’s Strawberry Sherbet recipe, practically screams summer. Delicately flavored, it turned out […]
TWD: 15 Minute Magic-Chocolate Amaretti Torte
If Holly had not chosen the recipe for the Fifteen Minute Magic: Amaretti Torte…well, I would have overlooked it. And then passed by it again and again as I flipped through Baking. Want to know something else? I don’t think I’ve ever bought amaretti cookies before. (I’m sorry to say it–I have a thing against […]
Hazelnut-Toffee Cookies
These Hazelnut-Toffee Cookies are very good. Veeeerrrrry good. Soft and chewy. Studded with chocolate, crunchy hazelnuts, and buttery toffee. Just the best cookies EVER. For reals. I’m kind of at a loss as to what else to say about them… Ha! The base of the cookies is from my favorite Root Beer Cookies recipe. […]
Strawberry Sherbet
Back in 2004, the folks at Cooks’ Illustrated included a recipe for Fruit Sherbet in their May/June issue. I let the idea of that recipe simmer for almost 5 years before trying it. Before I made the Blackberry-Strawberry Sherbet, I made plain Strawberry Sherbet using that recipe as a guide. I served it last month […]
