Behold, my lopsided cranberry orange bread, another winning recipe from Beth Hensperger, this time from her classic tome,The Bread Bible: 300 Favorite Recipes. I confused the cooling instructions with another one for a different bread, which said to cool the bread on its side. This resulted in my tasty but deformed loaf. This is a […]

Cleaning Out the Pantry – Chicken with Forty Cloves of Garlic
Posted by Madam Chow Published in chicken, Cleaning Out the PantryAs I’ve said before, I am on a mission to purge my pantry, refrigerator, and freezer. It’s so easy to buy this or that, and the next thing you know, it’s five years later. Recently, I was cleaning out my cupboards, and replacing some spices. Lo and behold, I found a stash of garlic that […]

We will be joining a dear friend for a celebration with thirty other people whom we’ve never met, and we are sure looking forward to it. Of course, that meant I had to bake two different pecan […]

I watched a rerun of the same show, and this time I decided to make it. Master Chow usually likes […]

I am on a mission: to use up food items in my pantry and freezer. Like most people, I will buy this or that to use for a specific dish, then I forget all about it. Or I shop for produce, and loose a cucumber in the back of the refrigerator. Not one to waste […]

Recently, Ivonne, of Cream Puffs in Venice, had a thoughtful post on the comforts of baking. I have to agree – my life has been so hectic the last few months, I’ve barely had a chance to catch my breath. The weather has cooled a bit, and the leaves are finally changing colors. And I […]

Posted by Madam Chow Published in apples, Beth Hensperger, blueberry, coffeecake, muffinsLike many out there in the culinary blogosphere, I have an overburdened bookshelf, creaking under the weight of all the cookbooks I fully intend to use, but rarely get around to doing so. One of my reasons for starting this blog was to pull some of these tomes down and take them for a test […]
