Toasted Brioche with Lemon Cream and Raspberries

11.08.2008 Baked

I love "last bite," the very last page in Food & Wine each month, and often look there first, wondering what I’ll find.  Most of the time, it’s something I can’t wait to try myself, and have with great results.  Other times, I’m fascinated, and just keep the page open, wondering if I should give [...]

So if you’ve been scouring this little corner of Bloggsville, you’ve probably figured out I have a problem with cooking magazines.  Mmmm-Hmmm.  And I’ve been trying to kick that habit to help save a few trees, but I just can’t seem to [...]

Let Them Eat Cake: Classic Baked Lemon Cheesecake with Lemon Curd and Mascarpone Creme

25.09.2007 Baked

  It was another of those fine occasions:  The table was set, the bubbly was chilled, and the appetizers were arranged and ready.  Yes, it was brunch time.  And in this case, a brunch to celebrate friends with whom I’ve worked and who’ve begun yet another school year, sans me.  What must they have thought [...]
