(I like to think she made the no-bake chocolate peanut butter cookies just for…

My personality is such that I become hooked on one thing, and one thing alone. I become obsessed and driven to all ends – I’m a highly productive and motivated person, by the way. This manifests in many areas of my life, but also in food. I don’t do anything half-assed. Once I create a…

I taught another tea and scones class recently. The simple scones were excellent, as was the Simple Clotted Cream, and the Easy Lemon Curd. In fact, my guests were literally licking their plates and scooping up any and every last dollop of cream and curd. One woman asked me, “Do you think we could make…

I often deliver treats to the folks downstairs – we live above a restaurant. Cookies, bread, pies… I like them – and I think they like me. However, one of my favorite friends downstairs is a gluten-free gal. I don’t often bake gluten-free, until now. Grace, these are for you. Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Orange…
