Well, not so much leftovers as bits of ingredients. A few egg whites here, a handful of walnuts there…
A bit of honey and a dash of cardamom later and I had some delicious, slightly exotic cookies. So what’s the problem?
For something made with things I wanted to use up they were unexpectedly wonderful. So wonderful [...]

Fusion Food
Tuesday, September 15th, 2009What do you get when you cross the desire to use up some extra ingredients in your fridge and the desire to use a slightly neglected favorite pan at the same time?
Healthyberry Blues
Thursday, July 16th, 2009Frozen yogurt is something I wanted to play around with some more, especially after the horrible bout of tummy aches I suffered recently, probably due to my excessive ice-cream-eating and cheese-nibbling. That’s a bad lactose-intolerant!
Mascarpeach
Friday, July 10th, 2009I had hoped my next post was going to be about a different ice creamy treat (on a stick!), but alas, there was a problem when it came time to photograph. I’ll get a post up about the slightly-problematic-but-still-really-delicious aforementioned concoction soon, but in the meantime, here’s something that’ll make the wait more bearable.
A Glimpse Inside My Idea Notebook
Monday, May 18th, 2009When I’m sitting in the kitchen, bored while waiting for water to boil or cupcakes to bake, I like to come up with concepts for dessert projects. I have an adorable little notebook for my ideas and have lots of little checklists of ideas. Yes, checklists. I put little boxes next to everything I write [...]
Scrubby Dub Dub

Neverending Yogurt
Saturday, May 2nd, 2009Since my re-entry into the world of blogs (that’s right, I kept one on and off in high school and no, you can’t have a link) my way of thinking about my subject (food, duh) has really evolved. Pre-packaged, artificial stuff just doesn’t have a place in my diet or my life anymore. Not when [...]
Maca-What?
Sunday, March 1st, 2009Yesterday was kind of a big day for me. It wasn’t anyone’s birthday or anniversary or anything like that. I didn’t go anywhere or get anything super awesome. It was just a very nice, sunny, calm, clear day, and as anyone with a decent amount of baking experience will tell you, that is prime macaron [...]
