A New Sticky Toffee Pudding
I love sticky toffee pudding…have you ever had it? Unfortunately most places don’t make it the right way. Usually, the cake is baked separately and then topped with a toffee sauce during service. Although delicious, this is not a real sticky toffee pudding. A real sticky toffee pudding is a steamed date nut cake…

Wickedly Good Chocolate Frosting
It was one of those crazy weekends…A loaded list of errands and a full to do list of things that needed my attention around the house….you know the ones I’m talking about…cleaning, laundry, etc, etc. Some friends called early in the day and asked if they could stop by for an afternoon coffee, so…

A really good chocolate cake recipe is one of those staple recipes that you need to have at the ready all the time…just like that tried and true fried chicken or chocolate chip cookie recipe that you can’t live without and can make with your eyes closed.

In Louisiana, once the Christmas festivities have ended, everyone gears up for yet another celebration known as Mardi Gras. This pre-Lenten celebration is celebrated all over the world under different names, but the celebration in Louisiana was brought to the area by colonists from Spain and France and dated back to the 18th century.

Neapolitan Bavarian Mousse
When I was younger, I used to love Neapolitan ice cream…you know the one, the traditional chocolate, strawberry and vanilla flavor that used to be sold in these large rectangular brick shaped packages that you would then slice to get the full effect of each flavor. Most of the time, I couldn’t wait to get…

Chocolate Pudding Cake
Happy First Birthday Good Food Gourmet! It was a cold and very snowy day last year when I launched GFG. Little did I know that my first post would mark one of the most memorable days Marylanders had ever seen. On this day one year ago, our fair city was paralyzed with over 45 inches…
