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…
Cabin Cooking: from brie on sourdough to Chocolate Wiggies in nine days
I’m back from two weeks of unbroken sunshine, warm lake water, starry nights, canoeing and encounters with wild things. Some, like the carpenter ants invading the cabin, were unwelcome. Others were magical. One day I lifted a board in the compost pit, and found a handsome garter snake, black with a yellow stripe, coiled up…

How I found my new favorite kitchen gadget
For the past few months I have been moving in to my new kitchen. I had no idea it would take so long. After all, the cupboards now rise to the ceiling. I have two stacks of small narrow drawers instead of one. There’s a pullout pantry, and deep drawers holding both baking dishes and…
Chimichurri sauce
¡Olé! With this gorgeous summer weather the last few weeks (can you believe it?) my tastes have turned to south of the border flavors. Specifically, chimichurri sauce.
