Filed under: Baking, Spices, Bread The Georgian Feast is now officially my favorite cookbook. I've been meaning to get around to making the spice bread, Nazuki, for a while now and I'm glad I finally did. This one made the house smell so fabulously delicious that I'd make a killing if I could bottle the scent. Next time I sell my house, I'm making ...

Filed under: Recipes, Baking, Bread I have posted about brioche before, but I've found a new recipe for the most tender and delicious bread you'll ever eat. It is more than worth your time. The recipe is the one the 2005 US Bread Team used in the 2005 Bread World Cup (I got a copy because I'm a member of the Bread Bakers Guild of America). They ...

Filed under: Dessert, Baking, Bread I have a foodie confession: While I do like fruit, I almost never eat it in its full form. I try -- really I do. I buy fruit and eat some nibbles, but before I get to the rest, it inevitably goes bad and I have to either have to throw it into a smoothie pronto, or freeze it for a smoothie later.

Filed under: Recipes, Baking, On the Blogs, Bread A couple of days ago, a friend sent me a direct message on Twitter that said, ''My God. You should blog about this recipe. I'm drooling down to my socks.'' He included a link that took me to the picture you see above. It turned out to be a post on the King Arthur Flour blog from March with a ...

It sure does seem like a universal food. If your holiday has a special bread, or if you're using bread to celebrate a holiday in any way, you might want to share with everyone ...

Filed under: Grains, Recipes, Baking, Newspapers, On the Blogs, Real Kitchens Like most of the foodie world, I was totally entranced by the No-Knead Bread recipe that got posted in the New York Times Dining and Wine section last fall (although I didn't get around to making it until January). I baked the bread in a variety of pots, with different ...

Filed under: Breakfast, Dessert, Chocolate, Recipes, Fruit, Baking I tend to buy bananas in larger quantities than I am able to eat before they get horribly brown. You'd think I would have learned by now, but no matter how fast I eat them, there's always one or two that get too black to consume. I've taken to throwing them into the freezer, peel ...

Filed under: Lunch, Dinner, Hors D'oeuvres, Snacks, Restaurants, Vegetarian, Grains, Cheese, Recipes, Baking, On the Blogs, How To, America, Shellfish, Comfort Food I have an odd fascination with Red Lobster. Actually, it's not a fascination; rather, a depressing history that makes me think about the ''Seafood Lover in You'' a lot. You see, my ...

Filed under: Snacks, Grains, Recipes, Baking, How To, America Is this loaf of bread -- deliciously domed, fabulously textured, stunningly browned -- not absolutely gorgeous?!?! The funny thing is, it was baked in a wok. Lindsay, who blogs over on Chopstick Beaten Eggs, had a recipe for bread from her boyfriend's chemistry professor. They were ...
