The intrepid Bread Baking Babes invited those of us in the culinary blogosphere to join them this week for some pizza.

The price of bananas around here has skyrocketed. Last year at this time, they were 39 cents a pound. Now, I’m lucky if I find them for 59 cents a pound. So, imagine my delight when I found them at our local Costco a couple weeks ago for 39 cents a pound. The bananas came […]

Tuesdays with Dorie and The Most Extraordinary French Lemon Cream Tart
Posted by Madam Chow Published in lemons, tart, Tuesdays with DorieI had a heck of a time trying to get a good photo of this, so pardon the photo quality – it does not do this tart justice.

I had all of these gorgeous blood orange rinds left over from my recent foray into homemade marmalade, and I could not bear to throw them out. So I decided to candy them, using Elise’s recipe over at her wonderful blog, Simply Recipes. What a revelation. These make most candied rinds out there taste rather […]
