Scones, so light, so flaky, so delicious, any time of day. I learned the basic recipe used here when I took a six Saturday baking course at The French Culinary institute in NYC. I’ve played with the recipe in order to come up with this version. Tweet

Lamb stewed in red wine, parsnips, and mushrooms
April 29, 2007 by Leave a Comment
I adore lamb, mushrooms and recently parsnips. I’d never had parsnips until a year or so ago, I had no idea how wonderful they were, how much more carroty than carrots are, nor the divine texture they have when roasted or stewed. I’m so glad I found out how good they are. This recipe is […]

The flavor of a childhood favorite gets transformed into a rich creamy cheesecake that will leave you wondering just how one came to recreate it. A professional baker […]

Where do you find inspiration? Sometimes it’s just sitting there waiting for you to see it. I wanted to make a new cheesecake and was trying to come up with ideas for ideas, after the mango-saffron I was having trouble coming up with ideas. Standing at my baking island, I opened the spice drawer and […]
Mango Saffron Cheesecake
April 29, 2007 by Leave a Comment
