Can you tell the difference? I should’ve taken a closer shot of the first (whole wheat), but that aside, arrggg…night time pics. What a major pain in the blog! I’m still working out how to take good photos without having to set up some sort of makeshift studio. Maybe I’ll eventually be so good that [...]
This just might be the bread I’ve been looking for: no bacteria-breeding, no kneading, and best of all, no sticky dough goo-gaa to clean up. Everything is mixed together in a bowl, left to slow-rise in the fridge overnight and then baked the next day. The recipe’s creator, JW (from JW’s blog via The Fresh [...]
I made this bread a week ago. It’s delicious; I love the flavor of the rosemary mixed with the sweet cranberries and the nuttiness from the sunflower seeds. However, it was a real pain in the butt to make. Then again, my family was here all last week visiting, which meant a lot of running [...]
Does that combination sound odd to anyone else? Maybe it’s the word “prune”—it brings to mind images of old, wrinkly things (and old, wrinkly people), porridge, digestive problems… Then again, the little baker in me also thinks of pleasant things like French armagnac tart, elegant frangipane and custardy clafoutis. Whatever your initial reaction, please, please [...]
I’m addicted to carbs in the worst way. Seriously, I don’t think I could get through the day without having at least one piece of bread. Despite being completely aware of the consequences related to having “too much of a good thing”, however, I just can’t help myself. Why do carbs have to taste. so. [...]
Granola is great. Especially this one, which is packed with bananas, almonds and raisins and infused with vanilla, orange and cinnamon. I wasn’t planning on baking twice, but am really glad I did. The clusters came out super crunchy and also have a really nice roasted flavor. This batch is for Liam. Hope he likes it! [...]
I had this long weekend all planned out. Dinner with friends on Friday, hiking and studying my Spanish on Saturday. And for Valentine’s Day, one of those independent girlie in the city dinners. But today is Valentine’s Day. And where am I? Sitting alone in a cafe, wondering how I ended up here. And by [...]

At Liam’s request, I baked bread for Christmas dinner. I’m actually quite hesitant about bread-making at my parent’s house; something always goes wrong—the yeast doesn’t foam, I’m missing ingredients and tools, I get distracted by the noise. This time, however—no problems to report. Maybe it was me, maybe it was the recipe. All the recipes [...]
Admittedly, focaccia was perhaps a bit much for a rooftop Fleet Week party. Especially since it turned to be much more kegger than garden party. I don’t really care, though. If I’m honest, the majority of my baking and cooking endeavors stem not from an abundantly generous nature but rather from a secretly egotistical one. [...]
I’m kind of a bread snob. In my opinion, bread isn’t good unless it: crackles when I press the crust sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom is light and airy, yet chewy on the inside can be eaten and enjoyed completely on it’s own—with nothing on it or maybe just butter (To be clear, [...]
