I postulated about a month or so ago that I wondered if one could make red velvet mochi cake. I have absolutely no idea why this popped into my head (I’m not even really a fan of red velvet) but I decided it would be worth a try. How hard could it be? A little [...]

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010The Law of Shortages
Saturday, January 30th, 2010Remember back in October when everyone was freaking out over the supposed pumpkin shortages? That was a little scary. I remember thinking to myself, “hm, better go get some pumpkin so I can make my annual pumpkin cupcakes, plus a little extra.” So I bought two cans. Because I am poor and have very little [...]
Ps & Qs
Wednesday, November 25th, 2009I am totally in love with the Union Square Green Market. Well, not every day. Some days I don’t find anything inspiring and all the tourists and snobs there (standing in my way) just make me angry. But other days…
I find exactly what I’ve been looking for. Like a gigantic crate of quince. Or a [...]
Pumpkin Cupcakes, Part 2
Tuesday, October 13th, 2009If you like these cupcakes, please vote for them in this month’s Cupcake Hero competition!

Now in Glorious Color

Thursday, September 17th, 2009Like most people who are strangely addicted to making up recipes and experimenting in the kitchen, I occasionally get hit hard by inspiration. So hard that an idea doesn’t even make it into my notebook.
Changing Seasons
Monday, September 7th, 2009I know it’s only started to cool down outside, but fall is undeniably coming. For some people, this is a huge relief. Others are kicking and screaming as they cook out one last time this holiday weekend and try to catch a few final rays at the beach. Though I’m not much of a cooker-outer [...]
A la Mode
Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009After I made rhubarb pie, along with what I considered to be a very disappointing attempt at a fruity ice cream (though it went very well with the pie), I got to thinking what other ice cream flavors would be nice with rhubarb pie.
Strawberry ice cream is the obvious answer, but when have I ever [...]

Making Improvements
Wednesday, May 6th, 2009This was supposed to be an entry about some delicious pavlovas I made. Unfortunately, the weather is horrible and cloudy and rainy this week, and by the time I was able to get them all assembled and take some pictures it was too dark and they all came out grainy. It’s all very sad and [...]
