TWD ~ Coconut Butter Thins

March 31, 2009

This weeks pick of Coconut Butter Thins is from Jayne of The Barefoot Kitchen Witch whose post for said cookies is the kind that makes you want to have kids. Unfortunately I didn’t have the lime or the macadamia nuts (for the cookies not the kids). I think they would have probably turned out way [...]

Do you have zeal for tuiles?

My first Tuesday with Dorie!

October 15, 2008

*Squee* Sorry, I was really excited to become part of this group. So this Tuesday was the Lenox Almond Biscotti. Truth be told, I’ve never been a big fan of biscotti. My mouth always felt like a bunch of shrapnel ripped through it after I ate one. I was pleasantly surprised with this recipe because [...]

A French baker and a Polish King walk into a bar…

October 8, 2008

Stop me if you’ve heard this one… But seriously, according to one tale a French baker and a Polish King would collaborate in bringing to the world one of the most beloved French confections … the Madeleine. There’s as many theories about the origins of the Madeleine as the origins of the Universe, though not [...]
