Today’s Special: March 21, 2013
Today’s Special: Pea, burrata, and mint crostini, Gjelina, Los Angeles Like everyone else and their brother, I’m really ready for spring to arrive. I know that March is never an enjoyable month (spring forward, winter’s strong grip, the Ides), but this March seems particularly awful. Perhaps it’s because this year is the first time I’ve...
Today’s Special: April 24, 2012
Today’s Special: Whisky bread, Gwynett St The reservation stars aligned on Saturday. OpenTable presented me with a table for two during prime time at East Williamsburg hot spot Gwynett St. Since opening last fall, the number of positive write ups have been been steadily climbing, with a number of them being published during the last...
The Jim Lahey No-Knead Revolution
This is another party that I’m way late for: no-knead bread (and see below: no-knead pizza dough). But I’ve arrived now, and I’m double fisting drinks and dancing on the table until the rooster crows. I get why everyone was talking about it now. It’s easy! It’s good! It makes you feel like a...
Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Loaf
Seeing as how I’ve been strongly suggesting pumpkin recipes in my Clippings posts of late, I thought I should finally get around to doing something with pumpkin. Hopefully this won’t be the last foray because I believe you can safely get away with cooking with pumpkin between September and December. Unsafely, I see no problem...
Clippings: July 21, 2011
The internet is a great source for all things foodie, and we’re constantly bookmarking, starring, and emailing intriguing recipes, food porn, and inspiration. Here’s a selection of clippings we think are worth checking out. Here’s a recipe for baking sheet macaroni and cheese. The type of dish you make and savour… and then ask whomever...
Chocolate-Raspberry Ice Cream Bread
I have no clue why I decided to try this recipe. Ice cream bread. Yes, exactly. WTF. It sounded like some sort of Frankenfood. And given that it originated in a Southern Living cookbook, I guess it kind of is. It’s the type of thing you might see Paula Deen whip together; the type of...
Whole Wheat Oatmeal Quick Bread
I can fully admit that I’m a very particular person. Some might use the word “rigid,” but I think particular is much more apt. I like things to be a certain way. Mildly obsessive-compulsive but laid back enough to see it for what it is and joke about it. Like right now. My taste...

A Tale of Two Loaves: Part I
Every time I go into Starbucks, the banana bread tempts me. The moist fruit “bread” on the other side of the looking glass tricks me into thinking she might not be cake. But, for all intents and purposes she is. Made in some industrial kitchen and made to look like all the other slices of...
Single girl’s brioche
Pain au lait. Poor man’s brioche, or in my case, single girl’s brioche. Less butter not because of the price to my wallet, but because of the price to my hips. My February project was bread baking. First came bagels, and then, pain au lait. Because I eat so many bagels, making my own was...

Hand to Mouth Part I
I’ve always been told that it’s the Anglo in me that craves bread and butter. I like it soft, fragrant, and white. A chewy crust. Slathered with creamy (always salted) butter. A large slice or two and it’s like I’ve been given a warm blanket and kiss on the forehead. As a little girl, it...
