i don’t usually take photographs at an angle – that “artistic angle” so favored by food bloggers – but for some reason, the dead-on photos just don’t look as good. something about the straight shooting suppresses the cragginess of these cookies. so, caramel melts. this […]
this one’s a keeper. there was a post about this bread/cake at thekitchn, which is originally from flo braker (via leite’s culinaria). i love sweet yeasted breads and buns, and this is the best of the bunch. really, it’s a cake, but i always think of yeasted […]
my love for dulce de leche started about five years ago, when nina happened to make a banoffee pie one weekend. i had heard of it (from the musical “guys and dolls”), and possibly had had it a few times, but i had never paid […]
these cookies look pretty good, right? unfortunately, they’re not. well, they’re ok, but they were enough of a disappointment that you won’t find the recipe here. i saw a post on photograzing for “peppermint meltaways” and was intrigued. i’ve always been intrigued by things that […]

i’ve been working pretty hard, and i rewarded myself recently with a cannele mold (the smallest one i’ve ever seen! not that i have seen a lot of cannele molds, but it’s smaller than i thought it would be) from amazon. i don’t really have […]
i’m unable these days to really take on any big cooking projects, due to exhaustion from school. anything that requires more than an hour is pretty much out of the question right now, unless i don’t have to babysit it – making chicken stock comes […]
so i found these cookies on photograzing: apple-cider cookies with caramel inside. the photo looks amazing – a ribbon of caramel stretching lusciously between two halves of a cookie – and i’m thinking to myself, a stuffed cookie like a caramel-filled truffle? no awkward compression […]
