After months of empty promises, I finally bring you the post you’ve all been waiting for.
Butterbeer, Tudor Style. Yesssss.
The Tudors were an interesting culinary bunch. They ate lots of funny meats (badger, anyone?) and insisted that beaver was a fish so they could get around the “only eat fish on Fridays during Lent” thing. Inventive, [...]

Recipe: Marshmallows!
Posted in dessert, how to, recipes to impress, tagged candy, gelatin, handmade, homemade, how to, make, marshmallow on February 8, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I know you were probably hoping for cheese. Sad day. But I got distracted yesterday when I realized that I had all of the ingredients for marshmallows in my cupboard (yeah, this is what happens when you cook a lot. You end up with random bits of foodstuff, like envelopes of gelatin and corn syrup [...]

Weird. That’s what you are thinking, I know. Microwave cake?? Intriguing and yet dubious. So many questions – will it taste good? You can make cake in the microwave? Should this recipe be trusted?
Fear not! For I am here to answer your questions.
It all started when I got back from my break in San Francisco [...]

This is the second recipe from my little Childhood Recipe Series. I got it from another American Girls Cookbook, this time from Samantha Parkington’s . In the series, Samantha is a girl living in the turn of the century. She is an orphan living with her grandmother (whom she calls Grandmary) in an upper-class household. [...]

When I was a child, I was enamored of the kitchen. I always used to ask my mother if I could help her cook dinner, and I was always very annoyed when she told me I could make the salad.
The salad? I would think.
A salad is not cooking. I wanted to use the stove to [...]

I love homemade ice cream.
I also love to make ice cream, because I can do whatever I want, however I want, whenever I want. Peach ice cream? You got it! Chocolate custard? You betcha! Caramel swirl with m&ms, chocolate chips and peanuts? Why not? Dooooo iiiiiit.
The only problem is that I don’t have an ice [...]
Recipe: Clafouti Cutie!
Posted in breakfast, dessert, for veggies, recipes to impress, snackies on June 26, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
A clafouti is a French custard/cake-y dessert baked with fresh fruit. According Wikipedia (which is my handbook for life) the traditional fruit is cherries, though I decided to use plums because my mom has a tree and I am inundated with them. Santa rosa plums are taking over my LIFE!
This recipe is a bit like [...]
Recipe: Ricotta Cake

Original recipe by Mario Batali (I modified ingredients slightly).
I had no idea that ricotta cake existed, but apparently it does, because here it is! This was extremely easy to make. You basically just mix everything together and throw it into the oven. BAM! (Sorry, Emeril.)
You’re supposed to use a cake pan, but I used ramekins [...]

Today is National Doughnut Day, which is pretty awesome. Every year I find out about more semi-obscure holidays extolling the virtues of all kinds of foods. Examples: National Popcorn Day, National Pie Day, National Candied Orange Peel Day, and National Cherries Jubilee Day. You should go look around on that website. There is a celebration [...]
Recipe: Olive Oil Pound Cake with Lemon and Rosemary

A few weeks ago I started carrying a notebook on me, so I could write down ideas when they came to me. I don’t remember where I was when I thought of making a pound cake with olive oil, but the idea popped into my head fully-formed–”olive oil pound cake”! Brilliant, I thought.
I think the [...]
