Sometime the best thing you can do is relax with a cup of tea and a slice of crumb cake. This is the type of crumb cake you can distress with completely. You can do the same in any coffee shop but there is just something about homemade coffee cake and sitting in your pajama…

Chocolate Brownies
Here is another recipe from The Model Bakery Cookbook. If you have a serious sweet tooth, this is the cookbook you want on your bookshelf. It has everything you need and more to do some serious baking and to impress your family. The recipes are based on the pastries they make at their bakery in…
Irish Soda Bread
I always wanted to bake Irish Soda Bread. Is making bread using baking soda instead of yeast all it’s cracked out to be? Today, being St. Patrick’s Day, is probably the best time to try out this recipe. I’m guessing it’s also a great recipe to pull out the day after St. Patrick’s Day. It’s…
Caramel Popcorn
I love to snack on popcorn. I especially love the salty kind with a ton of grated parmesan on top. I cannot make it through a movie without a bowl of popcorn on my lap. Popcorn makes the whole experience of watching a movie better. If the movie is great, the addition of popcorn makes…
Homemade Coconut Milk
I think it’s time to confess my unconditional love of coconut. I think I mentioned it at some point, but since I am devoting a whole post to homemade coconut milk, I will stress this again. Coconut is my favorite ingredient to cook and to bake with. It has a unique taste and an exotic…
Pear Cardamom Crostata
I’m always up for making time-consuming and perfectly decorated sweets because I’m up for anything when it comes to baking. At the same time, there are those days when all you want to make is something rustic, aka messy. Why? I guess it’s just because the pressure is off. No one will judge you if…
Ricotta Ice Cream with Dark Chocolate and Candied Orange
Until a summer ago, I was a newbie to ricotta ice cream. I tried it in a cheese making class I took with my sister and it changed everything. I was no longer sure what my favorite ice cream was. I had never tried something that delicious in my life. But the devastating part of…
Chocolate Chip Meringue Drops
This recipe brings back some good memories. It was in Foods class in high school that I first learned how to make chocolate chip meringue drops. I had never heard of them before and I have to say I was pretty smitten when I took the first bite. I believe it was around winter break…
Cranberry Frangipane Tart
There is nothing that excites me more than planning the Thanksgiving menu and organizing weeks before (well maybe second to anything that that comes fresh out of the oven.) That said, there is nothing that stresses me out more than the actual cooking and baking the day of Thanksgiving. The pressure builds, the dirty dishes…
Brioche Burger Buns
I am guessing there are not a lot of people out there who make their own burger buns. I think this calls for a burger revolution. We don’t spend enough time thinking about the humble burger bun. We spend too much time thinking about the patty while the bun is just something that holds our…
