Archive for the ‘Tarts and Pies’ Category

I’m not sure if I’ve gone into any particular detail about this before, so bear with me while I confess: fruit is not my favorite. A blanket statement, a write-off of an entire category of food, from a food blogger?! The shame, the audacity. Really, the hypocrisy. How ever can one be taken seriously, as [...]

If last week’s testimony to Georgetown coffee shop and bakery Baked and Wired didn’t convince you to visit, if the idea of banana cupcakes topped with peanut butter frosting and chocolate drizzle somehow didn’t justify a leisurely stroll, Metro ride, drive, train trip, plane flight, sail…let me try again. Yes, it may takes upwards of [...]

Apple Crisp.

And Rustic Baking is an extreme form of relaxing baking surpassed [...]
