Adventures in cooking and baking.
Chocolate brigadeiros are the unofficial national candies of Brazil. They combine the elegance of truffles with the chewiness of chocolate fudge. Evidently, in Brazil, you can't have a birthday party or a wedding with out serving brigadeiros.
In Brazil, they are sold both in fancy candy stores and also as a street food. Typically, they are rolled in chocolate sprinkles after shaping, but you can coat them in colorful sprinkles, finely chopped nuts, or even cocoa powder like truffles.
This cold sesame noodle recipe is a tasty version of the Chinese-American restaurant cold sesame noodles sold in New York City's Chinatown starting in the 1960s.
These sweet and savory cold noodles will call your name late at night from the refrigerator when the hunger pangs strike. If you make these, you may find yourself grabbing a few noodles from the bowl and dropping them into your mouth when no one is looking.
This sourdough pizza bianca is leavened with a sourdough starter and is made entirely by hand with the no-knead method.
This pizza bianca is an attempt to recreate the pizza bianco alla Romano from Forno Campo de' Fiori, a bakery in Rome that serves pizza by the slice.
These teriyaki chicken cups are a fun way to combine a few simple ingredients to make a tasty little main dish for dinner!
With about 10 minutes of prep time, and 20 to 25 minutes of baking time, you can get dinner on the table in about 30 to 45 minutes from start to finish.
Cheesy Butternut Squash Pasta - an easy to prepare one-pot meal or side dish that is ready for the table in about 40 minutes.
The butternut squash in this pasta dish, combined with the Parmesan cheese, adds so much creaminess that there is no need for added milk or cream to create a sauce. The cheese and the squash, along with the pasta, do all of the heavy lifting.
This arugula, apple, and fennel salad is tossed with a wonderful citrus dressing and served with toasty crostini topped with a melty three-cheese spread.
This salad, dressed with mix of shallots, lime juice, lemon juice, honey, Dijon, extra-virgin olive oil, and salt and white pepper, is amazingly flavorful.
These individual pizzas include a cheesy Alfredo sauce, pancetta, and roasted thinly sliced brussels sprouts.
I love pizzas that are layered with veggies that you don't traditionally think of when you think about pizza. The vegetables get all roasty and the pizzas often include different cheeses and/or sauces that bring in unexpected flavors.
