My wife and I recently received an exotic fruit delivery for our anniversary. The gift from my sister consisted of longans, mango, papaya, avocado, dragonfruit, and pink pineapple. The pink pineapple was intriguing to me and I wanted to try making the Claire Saffitz version of the pineapple upside-down cake with a pink pineapple featured in Continue reading

Classic Irish Soda Bread Recipe
I was recently “commissioned” to make a loaf of Irish soda bread for a competition this past week hosted by the Senate Armed Services Committee. My loaf was entered on behalf of the Joint Staff. The loaf ended up placing second. However, my loaf won the people’s choice award. Even the CMC Commandant of the Continue reading
Savory Popovers, think Bougie Garlic Bread
I wanted to make use of the popover tins that Brooke has. Plus I found that savory popovers have a low keyword density. This inspired me to try what I like to call bougie garlic bread. A traditional popover is only flavored with butter and salt. Not to be confused with a Yorkshire pudding, which Continue reading

Amazing Churro Eclair Collaboration Recipe
A churro eclair, or Maximilien, as I like to call them is pretty much what it sounds like. When I was making churros, the dough was very similar to pate a choux. I had the thought of why not make Mexican hot chocolate pastry cream and put it in an eclair. While I might not be the Continue reading
Basic Pate a Choux Recipe
Choux pastry is a strange dough. Given how it’s made on the stovetop and doesn’t have a normal rising agent like yeast, baking soda, or baking powder, the end result when done correctly is rather surprising. I certainly wouldn’t have thought to try making pastry dough like that. But then again, chemistry was not my Continue reading

Whatever your plan for consuming these bars, the end result is delicious. I first made these for my wife when we were dating. Continue reading
Elegantly Simple Zimtsterne Cookie Recipe
Zimtsterne are Swiss cinnamon cookies. While discussing baking plans over the holidays with my friend Judith, she mentioned that her mom makes these cookies every year. In addition to a photo of an entire dining room table filled with cookies, she also sent me the recipe. The beauty of this recipe is that the first Continue reading
Amazing Cranberry Orange Rugelach Recipe
I’d be lying if I said this rugelach recipe has been in our family for years. Like most of the recipes I’ve been posting recently, they stem from me seeing them somewhere and wanting to try them. My wife was recently in the hospital and the Heidelberg pastry shop is around the corner. When she Continue reading
