Banana Malt Brûlée Spoonfuls

Banana Malt Brûlée Spoonfuls

Tiny single mouthful desserts with which to finish off the meal with just a single moment of bliss, is what these are. Vanilla malt cream, adapted from a recipe in Claudia Fleming’s The Last Course: The Desserts of Gramercy Tavern. A single spoon filled with cream and topped with a slice of banana and burnt […]

Brandied Peach, Ginger, and Sweet Corn Cornbread Trifles

Brandied Peach, Ginger, and Sweet Corn Cornbread Trifles

Peaches and sweet corn grow together, so therefore they must go together, right? That was my reasoning when I picked them up at the market, figuring that I would combine them somehow once I got home. I asked Dave to make his fabulous cornbread for the trifle, and he did, with a bit of extra […]

Mujaddara

Mujaddara

I was at Kalustyan’s the other day, looking through their spices, when I wandered up to the second floor to check out their tea selection. There is a small deli section up there, where they sell prepared foods, which I had never examined before. I glanced over, and the man behind the counter thrust a […]

An Attempt to Answer Your Unasked Questions

An Attempt to Answer Your Unasked Questions

That is a photo of Meyer lemons, taken back in April right before I experimented with preserving them via lactic acid fermentation. It has nothing to do with this post. Dave finally showed me how to check my blog stats, so I can see who is linking to me and what sort of search terms […]

Basil Sorbet with Lemon Olive Oil

Basil Sorbet with Lemon Olive Oil

I came across this recipe for basil or mint sorbet by Sara Kate over at Apartment Therapy: the kitchen, and of course had to give it a try. I followed Sara Kate’s recipe almost exactly, except that I used apple lambic instead of apple juice, and added it when I added the basil, because I […]

Roasted Red Pepper Chipotle Egg Rolls with Tzatziki Dipping Sauce

Roasted Red Pepper Chipotle Egg Rolls with Tzatziki Dipping Sauce

This is my contribution for The Spice is Right IV: It’s Too Darned Hot!, though, in truth, I am probably the only resident of New York City who is not completely sick of the heat by now. I am cold-blooded and reptilian, and nothing makes me happier than soaking in the warmth. I am trying […]

Israeli Couscous with Afghan-Inspired Caramelized Carrots

Israeli Couscous with Afghan-Inspired Caramelized Carrots

My favorite Afghan restaurant is Bamiyan, on the corner of E. 26th St. and 3rd Ave., just a few blocks away from Kalustyan’s. I discovered it when I was taking the bar exam last summer. Dave’s job over those few days was to make sure that I actually ate dinner, when all I wanted to […]

Circle Swap: Homemade Jams, Jellies, Curds, Chutneys, &c.

Circle Swap: Homemade Jams, Jellies, Curds, Chutneys, &c.

Summer is here, and I have been in a frenzy of home canning. I have been making jams, curds, chutneys, and sealing them in jars to lay in for the colder months to come. I know I am not the only one who acts on this urge. I propose that we add some variety to […]

Blueberry Oatmeal Crisp with Lime Ice Cream

Blueberry Oatmeal Crisp with Lime Ice Cream

Whenever I see blueberries, I think of my mother. She loves blueberries so much that even when she was pregnant with one of my brothers, Josh, and eating them made her feel nauseous, she just couldn’t stop. Pregnant and sick and miserable, she ate blueberries until she vomited purple. She has told me repeatedly that […]

Roundup of Food Blog Posts I’ve Enjoyed #3

Roundup of Food Blog Posts I’ve Enjoyed #3

Dave made ciabatta the other day. I don’t think he intended for this loaf to end up looking like a snake, but I’m delighted that it did. It has nothing to do with this post, though. Enjoy the food blog posts I’ve linked to! They are splendid.
