Here for Recipes to Rival? I Have Some . . . Awesome Biscuits for You!
Posted by Madam Chow Published in biscuitsShirley Corrhiher’s Touch of Grace biscuits, to be exact. “But, Madam Chow!” you say. “Where is the “digestivo,” the limoncello that you made with organic lemons bought on sale at Whole Foods?” At home. “And the “antipasta,” the bruschetta?” Eaten, with photos on my computer. Which is at home. The bruschetta was excellent, and I […]

If you’re here for the Daring Bakers or Tuesdays with Dorie, I had to leave town on a family emergency. I did not get a chance to make and/or post for those events. I did, however, manage to bake a few things before I hit the road, so you’ll be seeing those posts on this […]

Ever since I was a wee sprout and read Louisa May Alcott’s classic, Little Women, I have wondered what “blancmange” was.

If you’ve never tried a strata before, you should seriously consider making this one. “Strata” means layers in Italian, and it is a great brunch/breakfast dish for two main reasons: (1) you put it together the night before, saving you time in the kitchen the following morning, and (2) people love a good one. I […]

TWD – No Brioche Tart, but I Do Have A Cake for You
Posted by Madam Chow Published in cake, cookies, Tuesdays with DorieThanks to a loosening of the rules just for the summer, I finally had a chance to make the Perfect Party Cake that came up in the rotation a few weeks ago, chosen by Carol of Mix, Mix, Stir, Stir. This worked in better with my life/entertaining schedule. I did not split the layers, thinking […]

Chocolate Cherry Bread – Day 5 of Chocolate Week, and Bread Baking Day!
Posted by Madam Chow Published in bread, Bread Baking Day, cherry, chocolate, Frugal FridaysI love it when I can do several things at once. For example, blog about a chocolate cherry bread for Bread Baking Day (BBB), and that same bread uses ingredients that I had on hand (for Frugal Fridays), and closes out my week of chocolate! For BBB #22, our challenge is Sweet Breads hosted by […]
