Blueberry and Cream Cookies.

06Sep10

Blueberry and Cream Cookies, you taste like blueberry pie.  Blueberry Pie mixed with something a little salty-sweet and malty.  You’re chewy, crunchy, and toothsome.  And fun to eat.  So, so fun to eat. On my last trip to the Momofuku Milkbar, after cake and sugar cookie soft serve, I left with a bag of cookies [...]

Alfajores.

18Aug10

So yesterday when I said I magically found myself in the Dulce de Leche section of the Latin grocery store, that wasn’t entirely true.  You see, in terms of the ice cream I was about to make, the dulce de leche was an inspired, last minute improvement to the Horchata Ice Cream that really could [...]

Coffee Cookies. (Brown Butter Shortbread.)

19Jun10

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 [...]

Cornflake Cookies, Pecan Bars, and Tasty Burgers.

25Jan10

There’s something about trashy and low-end that’s appealing.  Especially when it comes to good.  Curly fries anyone? So one of the more interesting food trends of the first decade of the new millennium—as I get closer and closer to two decades old, using all-encompassing time periods becomes more appealing—is the high/low-end mixture of food.  And [...]

Rainbow Cookies.

24Dec09

This post is being written in secret. It wouldn’t have to be a stealth mission, but something bad happened. Something really awful has struck this kitchen in these times of holiday glow and glory. All the Rainbow Cookies are gone. For the holidays we’ve gone east, to that big noisy place that sometimes goes as [...]

Pink Flufferoons.

12Dec09

The first time I made macaroons I did not know about feet.  I did not know about aged egg whites, egg white powder, powdered food coloring, or the proper technique to obtain the signature glossy macaron shell.  Really, I did not know what a ‘French Macaron’ was which, in retrospect, hinders the actual making of [...]

Pumpkin Whoopie Pies.

02Dec09

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 [...]

Pecan Balls.

29Nov09

There are cookbooks and magazines, there are the food blogs and newspapers, and there are the online recipe engines.  There are televisions shows, web casts.  Today all it takes to find a recipe is a little bit of Google and a couple keywords.  But before all of this, before all the posts and drops downs, [...]

Brown Butter Turtle Bars with Macadamia Nuts.

09Sep09

Someone once told me that ‘the almond is the Cadillac of all nuts.’  Out of context, yes, it makes absolutely no sense that an almond is the nutty equivalent of a Caddie.  But as a well behaved little food blogger—schooled in the house of proper explanation etiquette—most if not all the goodies come with a [...]

Milanos.

26Jul09

The July Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Nicole at Sweet Tooth. She chose Chocolate Covered Marshmallow Cookies and Milan Cookies from pastry chef Gale Gand of the Food Network. Yes, that’s right.  Mallomars and Milano cookies, both of which I would have never attempted to make myself because I mean really, why try to [...]
