If you’re looking for a new way to cook with apples, why not try a French version that was created by mistake. Here’s an excerpt from my post on Dean & Deluca’s Gourmet Food Blog: My first job was at a 4-star French restaurant in Boston and one of my most vivid memories of working [...]

Strawberry Basil Galette from Beekman 1802
If you’re looking for a super easy dessert if someone drops by (and you happen to have fresh strawberries and basil on hand), consider this: Last minute strawberry galette from the Beekman Boys. I had the pleasure of doing a Q&A with Brent Ridge for Haute Living. He’s the co-founder, along with his partner Josh [...]
Tea-infused pound cake
I love cooking with tea and highly recommend it. Some of you may remember my tea-roasted chicken recipe. It’s definitely one of my favorite ways to cook a bird, but more on that later. Here is my latest experiment: Tea-infused yogurt pound cake with Earl Grey icing, featured on The Gourmet Blog by Dean & [...]

Strawberry Country Cake by Ina Garten
Strawberries, cream and cake—you can’t go wrong with a dessert comprised of these three ingredients. I haven’t yet decided where I’m going for the 4th of July, but one thing is certain: I’ll be bringing this strawberry country cake along with me. It’s a definite crowd-pleaser, and I need to make good use of all [...]
Banana Sour Cream Coffee Cake
I am making great use of my Cathedral Bundt cake pan that I bought at New York Cake & Baking Distributors. When I was in Boston for the holidays, I made two eggnog pound cakes. Yesterday, my toddler (how she loves to play with the measuring spoons) and I made this banana sour cream coffee [...]
