Maltese Ricotta Pie with Honey-Lemon Syrup & Pistachios
We’re somehow wrapping up January, and while it would be absurd to complain about weather in San Francisco, I can’t help but notice my mind wandering to memories of warm, dreamy destinations that have felt particularly far-off for about two years. Specifically at the moment, I’m thinking about a brief, yet impactful trip that I […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Malted Crisp Tart
I feel like a broken record when I say, “I can’t believe I’ve never baked [x]” from one of the BAKED cookbooks. I’ve been baking out of them for so many years that it would be a reasonable assumption to assume I had made pretty much everything. But actually there are a number of recipes […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Lemon-Almond Meringue Tarts
Finally– the cover shot. We are so close to the end of baking through BAKED: New Frontiers in Baking, and therefore the end of Baked Sunday Mornings. (So many tears!!) And finally we are making the iconic cover recipe: Lemon-Almond Meringue Tarts! I’ve never made this recipe, as I have a profound disdain for any almond […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Classic Diner-Style Chocolate Pie
Sometimes all you need is a slice of pie. I’m not even that much of a pie person. But sometimes it hits the spot like no other dessert. And sometimes maybe you even have it for dinner. I’m not saying I had pie for dinner this week, except that maybe I did, and I’m not […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Peanut Butter Pie with Cookie Crust & Easy Fudge Sauce
I’ve said before that I’m pretty indifferent on the combination of chocolate and peanut butter; I like them each separately, but together they generally elicit a big ‘meh’ as far as I’m concerned. However, I was actually looking forward to making this Peanut Butter Pie with Cookie Crust & Easy Fudge Sauce for Baked Sunday […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Tuscaloosa Tollhouse Pie
I finally did it. In 6+ years of baking and blogging, I had never lost photos… until now. In the madness leading up to my move to Israel in June, I frantically rushed to finish a number of recipes for various blog projects, and because I had a bunch of dough in the freezer that […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Bourbon Chocolate Pecan Pie
You win some, you lose some. Pie has never been my baking strength, nor is it my favorite genre in the realm of baked goods, but I will begrudgingly make one when needed. I’m sure that like anything else, it just takes practice; I have made countless loaves of babka in the past year because […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Almond Joy Tart
Who grew up thinking they “didn’t like” coconut? *raises hand* I definitely spent my childhood being repelled by this tropical treasure, an aversion based on exactly zero real-world evidence, perhaps even zero contact. I don’t know at what point the tide turned, at what point it occurred to me to actually try coconut… And I […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Butterscotch Pudding Tarts
Sometimes the second time’s the charm. I was excited to see Butterscotch Pudding Tarts from Baked: New Frontiers in Baking on the Baked Sunday Mornings schedule this week because I had made these years ago and was underwhelmed, and I always meant to try them again but never got around to it. I wish I’d taken notes– I […]
Cranberry-Lime Pie
Last year, basically all of Instagram was mesmerized by Bon Appétit’s captivating Cranberry-Lime Pie, and for good reason. Edible things of this technicolor hue usually have food coloring in them, but THIS jewel-toned beauty attributes its vividness to cranberries and only cranberries! I have finally made the pie, and I appropriately fawned over its gorgeous […]
