A Farewell To Summer Berries With A Raspberry Miroir Mousse Cake
August is a bittersweet month for me. Store shelves begin to thin out with a more limited selection of fresh fruit, and I especially see less of the beautiful berries we enjoyed all summer. I had a stash of raspberries saved up and wanted to use them to make a mousse cake with something called…

Butter Pecan Semifreddo With Buttered Rum Toffee Swirls
During the summer, I like to have a few batches of different flavored ice creams on hand. Ice cream and especially this homemade semifreddo, are not only easy to make but also refreshing and delicious. These types of desserts are also great to have on hand for last minute guests who might stop by.

Pistachio Semifreddo With Coconut Nectar Toffee Swirls
I had been thinking about how to make this ice cream for a while, and I didn’t want to add too many complicated flavors that would conflict with the topping for this dessert. I had just made a batch of Faloodeh soaked in a rose water sorbet — a lovely, fragrant flavor that you either…

Annin Do Fu Almond Pudding, Both Low Carb & Paleo
I’m not quite sure how I came across this dessert…I think I was looking up something with almond milk and came across this Asian delicacy that is served in many restaurants. I’ve never come across it personally in any restaurant that I frequent, so I was really curious from the start. I’m a huge fan…

Leche Frita Egg Rolls
I really love custard and pudding-type desserts – I don’t have a preference on whether it’s baked or made on the stove top, I grew up eating them and simply love them all… They make such great desserts, and if you use the right ingredients and make it correctly, you will have something that is…

Maryland Wines: A Surprise In A Bottle
From time to time, I would catch an article in our local paper about a new winery opening up in the Maryland area. I never really thought much about it, but filed it away in my mind as an interesting story to write about in the future. In April of this year, I had the…

Celebrating July 4th with Asian Style Pork Spareribs
I caught a great sale at my local grocer on some pork spare ribs and decided to pick up a few racks for the July 4th holiday. You simply can’t go wrong with ribs – everyone just loves them especially the ones I make with a jazzed up sweet and spicy BBQ sauce. I toss…

Quick & Easy Bakewell Tart
I recently made an almond cake using an easy and versatile recipe that I have used in the past to make those delicious rainbow bars made famous in NYC. I had a little batter leftover along with some homemade strawberry jam, so I decided to put together something most Americans may not have heard about,…
