Blueberry Ricotta Tart
2009-07-14 13:30:00
At long last, here’s the recipe for my entry for the Brooklyn Beer Experiment.When I decided to enter, I came up with a shortlist of things to make. My first thought was Beeramisu using a coffee porter (specifically, Sixpoint’s Gorilla Warfare, which is SO GOOD) instead of Marsala + espresso, but, unfortunately, I was too late, as the organizers of the event informed me that someone else had

The Brooklyn Beer Experiment
2009-06-10 13:42:00
The First Annual Brooklyn Beer Experiment , which was organized by cook-off masters Nick and Theo, was held this past Sunday at the gorgeous Bell House in, of course, Brooklyn. And, of course, I was one of the participants.There were two contests, home brewing and a cook-off. Since I know absolutely nothing about brewing beer (I’m only good at drinking it), I decided to conjure up a sweet treat

I'm Back (Sort Of) and a Market Meal
2009-05-27 03:06:00
Shame on me for having been gone for so long. Life has been pretty busy, what with planning the upcoming wedding (which is exactly 100 days away - I better get cracking on the rest of my DIY projects), searching for a house, giving up on that and deciding to modify the search for an apartment to rent, embarking upon said search, and finally moving a few weekends ago (I'm back in Carroll Gardens,

Mojito Cake
2009-02-13 05:00:00
Here’s another one from the archives.I made this for a co-worker’s going away party…which was before Labor Day… Anyhow, I wanted to try something new, and had seen a few recipes for mojito cakes but liked none of them. I concocted this recipe and figured that even if it didn’t come out right, there was enough mint, lime, rum, and frosting going on in this cake to conceal any minor

Baked Figs with Honeyed Goat Cheese and Walnuts
2009-02-07 14:03:00
Here’s another one from Thanksgiving – I know I’m totally behind, no need to remind me.Since I’m feeling lazy (which is not really news, I’m generally fairly lazy, I don’t quite understand how I can be both lazy and hyperactive, but I am), there’s no story on this. It just sounded like a good idea at the time, and it worked out really well (phew).---------------Baked Figs with Honeyed Goat

Cranberry, Pear, and Almond Frangipane Tart
2009-01-20 12:26:00
So it’s January and I’m still posting my Thanksgiving recipes…..Anyhow, this one was actually a last minute addition to the Thanksgiving menu. There was a total of 15 of us and I realized that one apple pie and one pumpkin cheesecake would be just enough for everyone, and, of course, just you don’t want just barely enough of anything you’re serving – you want to make sure there’s plenty to go

Pistachio Cardamom Shortbread Cookies

Happy new year! I know I’ve been totally slacking on posting regularly, but I’ve come up with a few ideas to maximize my use of time, so hopefully I won’t be as negligent on here anymore (at least not for the next few months…I also have to kick the wedding planning into high gear – I’m getting married in eight months!)Anyway, a few weekends ago, I went on a baking bender and made tons of cookies

Kabocha Squash (Pumpkin) Cheesecake with Graham-Lime-Walnut Crust
2008-12-18 05:20:00
Pumpkin pie: people either love it or hate it. I, as a lover of all things pumpkin, obviously don’t hate it, but I am very picky about it. Most of them have a bad crust and the filling is usually too sweet and cinnamony (I really don’t like cinnamon). But if it’s made well, it’s oh so good.A number of years ago, I very briefly worked at a fancy Chinese restaurant at which Pichet Ong was the

Luxe Mac and Cheese
2008-12-09 06:39:00
I promised a friend that I’d post this last week, and, of course, I’m only getting around to it now….I’ve always loved cheese (I have a hilarious/embarrassing childhood story about my love for cheese), so it naturally follows that I’ve always loved mac and cheese. I always looked forward to the one Saturday a month that mom made the Kraft stuff for me and my brother, and I continued to love it (

Pumpkin Tiramisu
2008-11-28 13:00:00
Although my mom cooked our Thanksgiving lunch/dinner, I made dessert. Of course I had to make something pumpkin, because there’s some law somewhere that states that at least one Thanksgiving meal item must contain pumpkin, and since nothing my mom made contained pumpkin, the responsibility fell to me.I was thinking about making pumpkin pie, but pumpkin cheesecake (actually, a kabocha squash

Thanksgiving
2008-11-22 18:28:00
This year, Thanksgiving is entirely in my hands. There will be 16 of us in total, so it's going to be quite an undertaking. Luckily, I'm a serious Type A personality, so I wrote up a detailed game plan for tackling the many things I'm making. Actually, I'm not technically cooking on Thanksgiving - we're having our big gathering on Saturday because not everyone is able to be here on Thursday.

My mom’s birthday was this past Sunday, so, of course, I was compelled to make her a great dinner. I admit that sometimes I get a little carried away and make elaborate four-course meals that take hours to make, but this time, I decided to make simple comfort foods that my mom loves, albeit refined versions of them.First up: a butternut squash soup with a Thai inflection.

Don't be like my co-worker, who, despite having the day off, said she isn't going to vote because NY is a blue state and her vote won't make a difference. If everyone said that, then maybe NY wouldn't come out blue tonight. Don't be

Cherry Tomato and Caramelized Shallot Galette

This post is long overdue…I started writing it a few weeks ago and, of course, got sidetracked by a slew of other things. Given that the star of this recipe is sweet summer tomatoes, I figured I better post it soon before it really turns into fall (it was 80 degrees in Baltimore this past Monday…definitely not fall yet!)

Grilled Peaches with Ginger-Caramel Sauce

OK, so I made these almost a month ago while I was down in Florida for Labor Day weekend and am only now getting around to posting this (hey, I have a wedding to plan! Cut me some slack!). Yes, it’s officially Fall now, but I think we might have one warm weekend left in store (at least I’m hoping we do) so this summer dessert might not be totally useless just yet.I have to admit that I totally

After all, it’s what happens in our lives that inspires our cooking, be it a family member's birthday, a yearning to recreate a beloved sandwich from a city you used to live in, a craving for something comforting when you're sick, or a special dinner for someone you love.I know I’

Win Two Tickets to New York Magazine’s Highbrow BBQ!

On Saturday August 23rd, New York magazine is throwing a Highbrow BBQ at Solar One in Manhattan from 1 pm – 5 pm. I wish I could go, but my brother is getting married that evening down in Baltimore, so obviously I can’t go (it would be probably be a bit uncouth for me to show up late to my only sibling’s wedding). But that means that one of my lucky NYC-area readers will win a pair of tickets

Lemon Raspberry Cake

I made this cake for a family gathering at my parents’ house a few Saturdays ago. I was initially planning on making a cake version of my Brown Sugar-Hazelnut Cupcakes with Blackberry Frosting, but apparently all the supermarkets my mom went to were conspiring against us, as she was unable to find blackberries at each of the stores she went to that day (and she went to a lot just to find those
