Some gals like Godiva on Valentine’s Day, my personal peccadilloes are the heart shaped boxes of chocolates with the plastic flowers and pâté! It’s my once a year indulgence – spread over really good bread, and topped with cornichons. It’s ridiculously simple … Continue reading
Channeling My Inner Bubbie
My introduction to brisket was years ago during a staff dinner at a restaurant I was working in during Passover. It was love at first bite – so tender that you could cut it with a fork in a pool … Continue reading

Pear Raspberry Galette
This is one of the desserts I served on Thanksgiving. I’m pretty sure that galette translated means “I seem to have misplaced my pie plate”. No matter, all you need is some pie dough, fruit, sugar, a little flour and … Continue reading
Fresh Apple Cake with Caramel Glaze
Apple Cake with Caramel Glaze, another of Scott Peacock’s gems! I’ve made this cake a lot – with the glaze, without the glaze, a gluten free version – it never disappoints! It’s moist, a good cake to feed a crowd … Continue reading
