Master Chow enjoyed a strawberry-rhubarb pie that I made a couple years ago, using a Nick Malgieri recipe. One of the ingredients was Cointreau, and while I liked the faint orange taste, the filling was very runny and not as concentrated in strawberry and rhubarb flavor as I would have liked.

Photo: Barnes and Noble Last night, Master Chow and I dined with friends at a local mall. We wandered into the nearby Barnes and Noble and, predictably, I found myself in the “bargain book” cookbook section.

Its flagship store is located in Brookfield, Wisconsin, and when I visit, I end up spending at least an hour and entirely too much money! Penzey’s also has some excellent custom spice blends.

What a lovely name, for a lovely book. I discovered Falling Cloudberries, by Tessa Kiros, via Who Wants Seconds, which posted a mouth-watering cinnamon and cardamom buns recipe, which I must try. Despite my best efforts, I could not resist temptation and logged on to Amazon.com. Sigh. The book is a U.K. publication, available through […]
