Multi Spice Infused Custard Parfait
I have been a pastry chef for over 20 years, and when people tell me that they don’t bake at home because it is too complicated, I always answer that a good dessert doesn’t necessarily have to be fussy or complicated. The baking field is all about following a recipe, or a certain process to…

There are many blogs that I enjoy reading, and one of them is palachinka. She has some really delicious Serbian recipes, both sweet & savory, and I love to check the site from time to time for inspiration.

Light & Fluffy Shrimp Fritters
I really enjoy seafood and I am always looking for items that I can make with seafood that is not too expensive. I always buy the IQF mini shrimp when they are on sale, and have them on hand. They are very versatile for a quick stir fry, shrimp salad sandwiches and a delicious shrimp…
