French Classic: Poires Belle Helene

Quick Fresh Raspberry Balsamic Vinaigrette

I know. I should show you the fresh raspberries. The bottle of imported balsamic vinegar. The fruity olive oil and fragrant local honey that went into this. But I got carried away. It smelled so good, and it came together so quickly that I just didn't stop to think I should be taking photos for my blog. So this is what we have. A photo of the results. Two small jars I am going to run over and give to neighbors, and 1/2 a canning jar for me to use this week. You have to trust me. It's delicious. Continue reading

Vine

I have totally become obsessed with Vine....it has such huge potential for either humor when you need it or instruction when you need it....fast! So I am playing with it. Experimenting. Following others. And I wanted to share it with you. Bon Appetit Magazine is using it brilliantly, I think. Watch below! (To get yours, go to itunes app store, it's free. Download and start creating 6 second food videos.) Continue reading

Vanilla Rum Cake

I've been baking more cakes lately than I have in years. It seems the more time pressure I am under with writing deadlines, the more baking cakes I do! I just finished writing my cookbook and it's been sent to the printers. To celebrate: a cake! Just a little something to keep my body and soul together until the next deadline. Continue reading

I decided to put to immediate use the Eiffel Tower one (a bargain at 10 cents) and the Fleur de Lys ($1.89). Continue reading

Luscious Orange Rice Pudding

All of a sudden, the kitchen fills with the aroma of oranges and cinnamon. And when I sneak a taste at the very end of baking the pudding, the flavor of orange has intensified. The grated orange rind simply comes to life in the last few minutes of cooking. Love this recipe! Continue reading
