And you thought I’d never go back to school. It’s finally happening. A mini road trip. (That’s right, I’m lying to myself. A MINI road trip? Yea, sure Nina. 2,129 miles and a total of about 34 hours is most definitely a casual drive. The kind of thing where one wakes up one day, makes [...]

It is hard to improve a cup of coffee. A good cup of coffee, let’s be clear, is strong, well-rounded, opaque in the mug, and rarely with a bitter finish. It has a taste, a thickness, and is much more than brewed water. So, to clarify, a good cup of coffee, just like a great [...]

Chocolate Pulla.
When things come in groups, especially ingredients, I often find that using just one component of the group leaves the others a little dejected. So while, yes, this does fall under the category of personification of ingredients and the occasional normal chat—or two—one may have with their foodstuffs, I’d like to submit that it’s really [...]

Apple Cobbler.
To be brutally honest, cobblers are not the favorite child in the baked and topped fruit dessert family. At least in my baked-topped fruit family. Falling just short of a crisp, and maybe slightly above a Brown-Betty, the cobbler is truly the middle child. More of a biscuit than a cake, but too soft and [...]

Apple Cider Donuts.
I would like to state, to put on the record if you will, a little fact. A disclaimer. A truth that may be contrary to what seems apparently obvious. That is, I would like you to know—whom ever it is that reads this baking blog—that I actually do eat real food. I do, I promise. [...]

Chocolate Babka, Redux.
I really have to apologize. I’m really, truly, sorry. So sorry, it’s embarrassing. You see, I’ve let you down. I heralded this Babka recipe as the best, the ultimate, the be-all and end-all of the best babushka-made Jewish food product. But I was wrong, so very, very wrong. Don’t worry though, this Babka recipe, right [...]

Pumpkin Whoopie Pies.
I’m just going to come out an admit it. Sometimes, just sometimes—which translates into almost all the times, without fail and in rain, sleet, and/or snow—I talk to my recipes. It’s not strange, I promise. It’s totally, completely, absolutely normal. Right? Right? So on these, rare, rare, occasions when I may let out a sigh [...]

Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread.
I’ll give one thing to the Midwest—fall’s a pretty good thing. You know, the piles of red-gold leaves, everything changing colors and shifting towards warm, earthy tones, that clear, crisp fall air. It’s really all true, these things you hear. Now, I’m not admitting to a total conversion, but, but, if for some reason—say college—you [...]

Rudesheim Coffee.
One of the faults of European tours, for the under- thirty set I believe, is the numerous and seemingly endless yet all alike churches, cathedrals and castles. So many, too many. Frescoes and stained glass and columns and gothic architecture, spires and statues, friezes etc. It’s a little much. But the Germans seem to have [...]

F.I. Blueberry Coffee Cake
For creative purposes, nothing beats the beach. For cooking and baking sakes, the beach is nothing if not a catalyst for fast and creative cooking, and new recipes. This partly may be due to the fact that on the beach, there are no cookbooks. And certainly rare is the desire to actually follow a detail [...]
