Dave says I need to stop calling things pizza that don’t have tomato sauce. But he also said this pizza (er…flatbread?) was very tasty, despite the fact that it features a vegetable he isn’t such a big fan of. I may win him over to brussels sprouts yet! And let me just say, lest you […]
I have always been a little wary of working with chocolate as a candy medium. I am never the one who tops cupcakes with beautiful candy molds or makes chocolate-coated truffles.

Watching gifted cooks and bakers compete to create the most original, most delicious, most beautiful dish is inspiring!—and also makes […]
I have no idea how to start writing this post. I’ve put it off for two days. Do I remind you that I gave up sugar for the month of January? Do we talk about that soufflé I had in a fancy French restaurant at Valentine’s Day two years ago, the one that tasted like […]
