Lace Cookies
Okay, I’ve jumped the gun. I’ve already started baking Christmas cookies, even though I’ve barely made plans for what I’m going to bake for Thanksgiving dessert. (The plans that I did make are grand, I must say, and for the first time in many years they don’t involve pie.) Well, so be it. Fools rush in, they say, but I just couldn’t help myself. At least I’m a happy fool. I spent a couple of blissful weeks testing this recipe for lace cookies, the delight unshattered by sporadic batches of deformed, burned or limp cookies. (I ate them all.) Things … Continue reading
Pumpkin-Chocolate Cookie Sandwiches
When a friend mentioned eating some out-of-this-world pumpkin and chocolate chip muffins, it struck me that I’d never baked with that particular combination of flavors before. After some internal head-shaking and tsk-tsk-ing, I put my apron on and started working. I decided to experiment with cookie recipes because I hadn’t seen that many good ones out there, at least not for the kind of chewy and dense cookie I imagined. It turns out there’s a good reason for this: puréed pumpkin, like all fruit purées, gives baked goods a moist, tender crumb, but it prevents gluten development (for chewy texture). … Continue reading
Decadent Chocolate Cupcakes
Somehow (thank you universe!) my birthday this year turned out to be all about chocolate. As a special treat, I ordered myself some chocolate fudge from Allison’s Gourmet, to have as dessert with my birthday dinner. But on the morning of my birthday, I got a sudden irresistible urge to bake. (How could I have expected any less of myself?) Then, around midday, my sister surprised me by bringing me lunch and a chocolate cake that she’d baked herself, complete with vegan whipped cream. We had a great meal together, but an even more lovely tea-time: alongside cups of jasmine … Continue reading
Peanut Butter & Chocolate Bread Pudding
Sometimes I get annoyingly ambitious in the kitchen. If I overhear someone say that he or she doesn’t like this or that food, I think (and thank goodness I don’t always say it): you just haven’t had it prepared the right way. Then, just for fun, even if I don’t intend to actually cook it, I try to invent a recipe to prove the point. Well, my husband doesn’t like bread pudding. I, on the other hand, very much do. So I gave myself the challenge of coming up with a bread pudding that even he couldn’t resist. I didn’t … Continue reading
