Poached pears make a great Lenten dessert…and since the season is upon us, poaching fruit is a great option that allows us to keep our traditions and promises without cheating.

I happened to be lining up desserts for Valentine’s Day and I happened to come across a dessert called a Mug Cake. I remember seeing a pre-packaged version of this delicious dessert from a great little company at the Fancy Food Show in Washington DC last year, but it’s so very easy to make, why…

Vanilla Black Pepper Semifreddo With Pineapple Rum Compote
I love all kinds of fruit and I’m especially partial to fresh pineapple…and not just any pineapple, it has to be the sweet golden variety. On a recent trip to the Asian market in Baltimore, I found some HUGE golden pineapples for sale for $1.99 each, so I just had to pick up a few.…
