Easy candied orange peel
When December rolls around, you can count on me to first start thinking of what holiday treats I’ll be creating. Shortbread is a given, both sweet and savory. Fruitcake (yes!). Something chocolate, whether that’s a dark flourless cookie or almond roca bars, or – in rare years – chocolate fudge. And candied orange peel. It’s…
Deck the halls with boughs of chocolate
Ah, cookie night. Ten years old this year, and going strong. I get to be Mom and provide the playtime part of Christmas baking: the dough already made, and ready to go, the decorations ready. The “kids” – all women dear to my heart – shape dough into coffee beans, or mice, or balls to…
Parsnip hummus
Do you like parsnips? Ummm…well, I don’t dislike them. But I don’t go out my way to find them either. I guess I appreciate them more than I used to. Does that count as a yes? When I was growing up parsnips didn’t make their way into too many of our dinners. As in, almost…

Blackberry Apple Relish

Accidental Blackberry Sorbet
I saw some blackberries on 6th Avenue yesterday, right near where I parked to go to the studio. They were poking through a chain-link fence that encloses an empty gravel lot. There were lots of berries, many of them not ripe yet. So yes, I know it’s not over, but it’s been cool and cloudy,…
