My mom was a twin, and her twin is my favorite aunt, Tia D. One thing I inherited from them is a love of cooking, especially baking. When my mom was still alive, she would go visit my aunt and they would hit all the estate sales, thereby adding to their impressive collection of bake-ware. […]

This cobbler was so easy and proved to be a huge hit with Master Chow. And me, too, if I’m totally honest! What’s not to love about warm, sweet strawberries, topped with moist biscuits, with bright notes of orange and lemon in the background? And the color, that brilliant, deep berry red – was fantastic.

Tuesdays with Dorie, or, What Not To Do
Posted by Madam Chow Published in Gus, madeleines, Tuesdays with DorieThis week, Tara of Smells Like Home has chosen Traditional Madeleines. They look okay, don’t they, except for the little “foot” around each cookie? But how they taste is a different matter, and entirely my fault. Forgive me, Dorie, I will try again another day. You see, I’ve been having a hectic month. Our usual […]

Or, another reason why I’m shooting for five hours of cardio per week. These things are positively addictive. I had about five pounds of raw peanuts in my freezer, taking up valuable space. “Five pounds of raw peanuts, Madam Chow? Why? Who needs that many raw peanuts?” Because I like to be prepared. I have […]

An Oat and Seed-Filled Sourdough Rye Bread
Posted by Madam Chow Published in bread, Daniel Leader, rye, sourdoughI love a good oat bread. I also love rye bread. Seriously, you know those very thinkly sliced, imported rye breads that you can find in some stores? The ones that taste really sour? I like those, too. So, I indulged my baking bug (I am now buying sugar and flour in 25 pound bags!). […]

Tuesdays with Dorie and My Two Year Blogiversary
Posted by Madam Chow Published in Cleaning Out the Pantry, corn, polenta, ricotta, Tuesdays with DorieThis week’s Tuesdays with Dorie turned out to be my favorite one so far, something I wouldn’t have guessed before I made the Fluted Polenta and Ricotta Cake. I had the recipe bookmarked as one I wanted to try, but it wasn’t at the top of my list. I’m so glad that Caitlin of Engineer […]

As you can probably tell from these photos, I do not have a bright future in decorating cheesecake pops. Now, this recipe was not difficult for someone who has been baking her whole life. What made it “daring” for me was the presentation element. I surf the net visiting food blogs, and I am absolutely […]
