Another great item for a picnic or barbecue, this dish is easily prepared in advance in your oven and chilled for a picnic or done up on a grill on the spot. I love the flavors of this one. Tweet
Rustic Potato Salad
May 2, 2007 by 3 Comments
I’ts May (yay)! And that means summer picnics are coming up soon, this potato salad uses no mayo, so it’s picnic friendly and it’s also a bit different from your average potato salad because the potatoes are roasted rather than boiled. Rustic? What the hell does that mean? in this case, chunky, choppy, and not […]

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

Orange Creamsicle Cheesecake

This one probably ties with the peanut butter brownie chunk cheesecake as other people’s favorite of my flavors. I’d say it’s pretty popular on my tongue too. 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 […]
