Chocolate Peppermint Roll with chocolate ganache

December 12, 2011

Own your life.  Own every last bit of it. Don’t send your Christmas cards out until you’re good and ready.  Wear neon purple tights with a grey dress… why not ?  Go heavy on the gold eyeshadow…tis the season.  Green nail polish?  Go on.   Run through the rain… or sleep in and skip exercise [...]

Midnight Black Chocolate Pudding

October 17, 2011

So there’s this thing about me. I really really don’t like making Halloween treats.  Tombstone cupcakes.  Spider web cookies.  Witch finger snacks.  Please… just please.  I can’t get into it.  I don’t want things to look dead, or bugged, or dismembered. I want things to look sweet and chocolatey and dripping with caramel… and not [...]

In fact, I may have purely despised the stuff. My only exposure to pudding came in the occasional lunch time trade with a friend [...]

Down to my last Egg

July 6, 2008

What do you do when you’re down to your last egg?  Either cry about it or make Chocolate Pudding with Almond Whipped Cream.  In my case, I did both. I know this is only a food blog, but I’m sure you all won’t mind if I get something off my chest.  I’m sad.  I’m puffy [...]

Brown Butter and Cardamom Spiced Sugar Paper with Cream and Strawberries

March 3, 2008

This dessert was born out of the current circumstance of my life.  Big things are changing for me in the next few months.  While it all feels good and exciting, I have to admit that big change makes me anxious.  You might think that when I get anxious, I bake.  That makes sense, right?  Well [...]
