Can't vouch for all of these, but the Korova cookies are a classic and the soft gingerbread was the runaway winner of my informal ginger cookie comparison.

Interesting, very interesting, especially as there's an 8x8 pan of membrillo cooling in my oven at this very moment. I'll post a link once it's up. I made mine very tart, though, but I guess it'll ...

oddly, I wind up using the plastic bags that less canvas-obsessed types (and me in my lapses) bring into the house as a substitute for plastic wrap. But the supply has predictably dwindled...sigh.

I learned to cook from the New Basics, and since then, a seminal cookbook comes along once every few months for me...one I lug around and dream about. The most recent was Alford and Duguid's Seduct...

I have exactly the same problem. I'd love to know what's up. Katya

Thanks for the recipe. This was delicious. Then, I'm Ashkenazi, and love everything with fried onions. www.breadbabies.blogspot.com

There's a recipe for it in Judith Jones' new autobiography, The Tenth Muse . Haven't tried it yet, but it came with a good story, and Jones is very reputable. www.breadbabies.bl...

love my csa, though I do do a lot of supplementing. wasted tons of bell peppers, but ate most of everything else. just want nothing to do with so many bell peppers. I documented the CS...

Macouns and winesaps...paulareds were good this year, and i also got a chance to try a bunch of old-fashioned russets, of which orleans reinette was the winner. www.breadbabies.blogspo...

I love things to eat in bed, often an apple or a piece of chocolate. Now that I share my bed I don't eat in it as much, but I am also in the camp with those middle of the night water guzzlers. Some...

i don't think i've ever had a slow cooker meal. help, help rescue me from ignorance.

I made buttermilk, blueberry sour cream, and chocolate peanut butter ice creams this month. Wish there had been more sorbets. Next time, ice pops too. www.breadbabies.blogspot.com

I love this theme. Home cooking is the books of John Thorne, please feature them as a part of this, I have found them so inspirational. Home cooking is the slow turnover of leftovers a...

they were good. salt is becoming a must on my baked goods. i thought it was an excellent recipe, but the jury's still on the fridge treatment and the comparisons, because i didn't make any contro...

we just got our first csa pickup! Kale and salad greens and bok choi and radishes and garlic scapes. happy.

I love this book, and have chronicled a few of my efforts from it on my blog, www.breadbabies.blogspot.com. I find that it's hard to stray from the first few I tried but I'm trying to slowly work ...

mini-kitchenaid chopper is great mostly i just love my wusthof seven dollar serrated knife

I work above the Red Hook Fairway and the selection is amazing, the aisles uncrowded most times of day. The prices seem mostly good - though they have an interesting habit of putting the same item...
