Remember how I made that chocolate cake without any chocolate? That cake was still OK but I wanted chocolate, damn it! I found a recipe for chocolate syrup at Glorious Treats and turned it into a sauce. I love it because it has no dairy or fat (although lots of calories). I thought it would be perfect […]
Martha Stewart’s Brandy Apple Pie
Before everything went wrong on Christmas Eve, I made Martha’s Brandy Apple Pie from her cookbook Martha Stewart’s New Pies and Tarts.

Bread Bible’s Buttermilk Honey Bread & Cookbook Review
The Bread Bible by Beth Hensperger published by Chronicle Books is a challenging book to review. It started out with frustration when I made her Rosemary Raisin Bread but then things improved with the Country-Style Whole-Wheat Pitas. I was delighted to discover a recipe for elusive Mexican Morning Buns but the Classic Buttermilk Biscuits were dry and just OK. I made the cookbook’s pizza dough […]
