I’m not very wordy lately. Apologies. I bring you something caramelly though, does that make up for it? It’s the type of stuff that you cut into small squares and savor very, very, slowly...

Bad news: have cake will travel was infected with malicious code, so I’ve taken it down until I figure out the best way to deal with this. BRB, hopefully.

Long in the Tooth

(Sandwich illustration by the always better-than-chocolate Michelle of MyZoetrope.) Did you know that the sandwich is celebrating its 250th birthday this weekend? Now that’s an old fart if I...

Giving the Fingers

It’s a good thing the freezer has posted a no vacancy sign on its door, otherwise I’d bake endless batches of these hazelnut shortbread fingers. They go really well with curd (a great com...

In a galaxy caraway.

I’ve done it again. Buy something in bulk that I probably shouldn’t have. This time around, it’s caraway seeds that made me do it. I love the stuff, but who buys caraway seeds in bu...

Tartsy Fartsy

What seems to be a million years ago, my parents occasionally treated the whole family to delicate pastries after long Sunday afternoon walks in the wilderness that is the Lake Geneva waterfront. (It...

Practically a Giveaway

(In case you’re wondering if Practically Raw, the book I’m about to review here, is full-on vegan since Amber Shea Crawley is known as the Almost Vegan Chef, it is.) The main thing that m...

Doughnut Song + New Book News

I’ve promised to post this recipe over and over again, and then stuff happened and I forgot about it a little. My bad. You might have witnessed the earlier incarnation of these baked speculoos ...

Yes, MOO can.

I’m having fun shooting for Joni‘s book, but I’m getting ever closer to being done. Sniff. Up there, her post-bloom and pre-bloom mega tasty pot brownies. (No, not that kind. Just b...

Lately.

It was so warm here in California last week that shorts almost came in handy (or is it, leggy?) way before their due time. Hence the huge mason jar filled with bubbly, unsweetened apple juice, perked...

Hearty Giveaway for Monster Appetites

How rude of me, it’s been forever since I held a giveaway of any kind. So how about winning a copy of Hearty Vegan Meals for Monster Appetites? That book received a lot of love recently (Go Dai...

Pull it like you mean it

Remember when I wrote a post about cinnamon rolls from Trader Joe’s, and how some of us started talking in the comment section about escargots (or pains aux raisins), some kind of raisin-filled...

Hi! I think I still remember how to use this? The last month was spent putting finishing touches to Vegan Sandwiches Save the Day, then some less joyful stuff happened (because I’m always a wor...

Bumpy Fruit Ahead.

Every time I buy candy-lookalike little berries at the market, I like to pretend I just picked them straight from the bush, still warm from the sun. I also go on to daydream about which fruits and ve...

MoFo XXX: Cinnamon Brioche French Toast

MoFo XXV: Baking the easy way out.

It looks like I’ve pulled a disappearing act again. Work and tiredness are still going full throttle, which is to say that not much has been going on in the kitchen, and that most of the eating...

MoFo XIX: Coconut MoFolasses Granola

Well, I had the best intentions to update every single day, but…a. I don’t feel too chatty right now, and b. unexpected work landed in my lap, leaving my brain a-buzzin’ and lacking...

MoFo XVI: Two Breakfasts or not to Breakfast

This weekend, I’ve eaten my fill of peanut butter scones. Can you spot the little drop of chocolate syrup on the table? I baked these in the ubiquitous (on this blog) muffin top pan, which expl...

MoFo XIV: Right in the nick of time.

It’s just more of the other day’s brownies. I might not make them again, they get eaten too easily. Tami and I are officially done with the testing part of the book. Woo! How about you me...

MoFo XIII: Art & Cakes, Art & Cakes, Oh what good things mother makes.

Man oh man, I’m taking this back-to-baking thing a little too seriously. There isn’t a single fridge or freezer level that isn’t covered in a crazy large assortment of baked goods a...

MoFo XII: Breakfast time and not breakfast time.

Please let it be breakfast time 24/7. Freshly baked rye bread, fruit-sweetened apricot jam, loads and loads of black coffee, and cats basking in the morning sun making its way through the windows. Ca...

MoFo XI: Oops, I missed MoFo X.

The other day, I found myself in dire need of something full of chocolatey goodness, but there were no chocolate chips in sight. I dug into the fridge and located a few bars of unsweetened baking cho...

MoFo IX: Back to Baking

Sometimes I forget to take days off when working on projects, and then it seems like all the fun aspect of it kind of goes out the window. So I put myself in time out this weekend, focusing on snoozi...

MoFo VII: Falling for Sweet Stuff

The temperature has dropped precipitously this week, and I don’t think I’m ready for that to happen just yet. Which is quite peculiar because I’ve always hated the heat. Except for ...

The MoFo Dailies

Say, I’ve really been all about typical breakfast foods since MoFo began, between the pancakes, the crêpes and now a maple waffle with a lot of walnut topping, flanked by a simple baked apple. ...

Taking a break from top-fiveing today, because I can’t seem to wake up at all and counting past 3 sounds even more challenging than climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. I’m not really into protein...
