Food with a Story
Raspberry Pastry Cream is a velvety, vibrant filling that can elevate almost anything. Whether you’re using it to fill cream puffs, eclairs, cakes or cupcakes, or just serving it in a dish with fresh berries and whipped cream, it’s the perfect embodiment of spring in a bite. My personal favorite way to enjoy it is…
These tender Raspberry Coconut Cakes are inspired by a beloved childhood treat from our family bakery, Sugar & Spice, where we called them Lafayettes. I haven’t tasted them in years, but the memory of their irresistible flavor-coconut, vanilla, and bright raspberry-stayed with me, sparking a desire to recreate and gently elevate the version I remember.…
Some recipes have a way of bringing you home. For my husband Doug, Lillian’s Grasshopper Pie is one of them. On childhood trips to his grandparents’ home in northern Michigan, this vibrant green pie was always waiting-cool, velvety, and set in a crisp, deep chocolate crust. The filling is light and airy, with an unexpected…
Holiday food traditions have a way of wrapping us in warmth and joy. And the memories these Harvest Ginger Cookies evoke are just as comforting and delightful as the cookies themselves. Soft and pillowy, these cake-like ginger cookies are infused with warm holiday spices and two harvest-inspired flavors-an orange cream cheese frosting and a vibrant,…
JUMP TO RECIPE Unlike me, my grandmother Josephine never really had a sweet tooth, so making dessert was a rare, special treat. But during the holidays or when guests came over, she’d always whip up a batch of Italian Wedding Cookies. These little bites of heaven were soft, crumbly, and topped with a delicate ballet…
These dreamy Brown Butter Irish Lace Cookies are crispy, delicate, and light as air! With a rich, buttery toffee flavor, they’re simple enough to enjoy with a cup of tea, yet special enough for holidays or guests. Their unique texture and preparation cause them to spread thin during baking, becoming so transparent that you can…
Jewish Apple Cake is one of my favorite celebrations of the fall season. It has a moist texture and rich flavor, enhanced by a burst of gooey cinnamon-sugar apples. Traditionally made in a tube or bundt pan, however, I find making it as a quick bread is a welcome alternative. This version yields two loaves-one…
The recipe for this creamy, zesty mustard has been in my family for as long as I can remember. Growing up, it appeared at every summer barbecue alongside cocktail hot dogs, crusty bread, summer sausage, and aged cheddar. At Easter, it made frequent appearances atop baked ham, adding a familiar, tangy touch to the holiday…
Go to School Cookies might just be the yummiest cookie I have ever tasted! They pack an explosion of deep chocolate flavor, are chewy on the interior with crunchy edges, and are finished with a blanket of creamy almond-vanilla frosting. They are the quintessential after school treat with a glass of milk and are a…
Buttery, and caramel-kissed, these Chewy Butternut Bars are a vintage treat that turns simple pantry staples into something extraordinary. They’re made with two distinct layers: a tender, pastry-like crust that’s pressed into the pan and lightly prebaked, and a luscious coconut-walnut filling. The filling starts with egg yolks beaten until fluffy, then folded together with…
