PUMPKIN PECAN Tarts with a graham cracker, toasted coconut, and pecan crust. So, I was planning on making a fancy four-layer pina colada mousse cake for a Halloween party. However, a week before, and after all the ingredients for the cake were purchased and all ready to go, I realized that the cake would need to go on an hour long journey to my party destination. And there was NO WAY I was going through...

If I were to wait for the proper weather to bake certain desserts, I'd never get to turn the oven on or fry some donuts and the ice cream machine would be churning year round. Take Halloween day, it was near 90F pretty much all day long and yet I wanted to bake some fun goodies for the neighbors. We spent the day in short sleeves, going about the neighborhood with the kids steaming in their costumes....

You may remember that last year I made marmalade from our ornamental quinces . This year our crop was a lot smaller (the knobbly one is from the bonsai quince that Captain Haddock is growing) and I decided to try something different. My plan was to peel and core them, poach them until tender in a sugar syrup and then preserve them in brandy. Well that didn't really work out at all. They collapsed in...

We had a light rain today, which is actually a fine thing since we get most of our moisture during fall and winter rains. I worked this morning to cover for my job share mate. She is flying home today after spending a couple of weeks in the Denver area, most of the time in the hospital where her son was fighting for his life. He is a brave and valiant young man, 30 years old, and was successful (along...

I did that thing the other night, Halloween actually, where you're invited to a party and can't decide exactly what to bring. At first I said I'd bring a hearty salad of some sort, but as soon as I heard the word salad leave my mouth, ideas for savory tarts started flitting around my brain. And wow, is that a pâte sucrée tart shell in the freezer? Maybe I should make something with that....

Apple Butter Recipe + Pre-Thanksgiving Preserves Swap By Cornelia Hoskin homegrown.org There's a spot I retreat to in the hills of New Hampshire where three heavily laden apple trees are completely overlooked by the locals in the fall. I'm not certain of the apple variety, but, other than the occasional black spot and worm hole, the fruit is incredibly crunchy, tart, and flavorful. The trees are flanked...

Been making a lot of tarts recently for some reason.. Perhaps because they taste some damn good. Today was a Italian spinach and ham tart that was quite like the recipe used in one of Jamie Oliver’s books, it was good but not as good as the Courgette tart (or Zucchini tart) I cooked the [...]

Restaurateur James Thomson didn't like school. Much of his time was spent looking out of the windows at the old buildings of Edinburgh, fantasising about their history and the people who had lived there. What Thomson did like was working. Aged 12, he became a dishwasher at Crawford's tearooms on North Bridge. "My grandmother had a cashier job there, and they were always short of dishwashers,...

I love Apple Day (October 21 st ). It’s a chance to celebrate our many great home-grown apple varieties and remind people there’s more to life than Braeburns and Granny Smiths. This year, Apple Day was extra special for me, as a Freshly Picked dinner was held at the fabulous cheese emporium, La Fromagerie , in Marylebone. Downstairs in a tiny kitchen, the La F chef, Michelle cooked recipes...

Let's just say it straightaway: this dessert has a ridiculous amount of fat. But it's raw and vegan, and made of whole foods. The coconut oil is packed with healthy EFAs and lauric acid, while agave is low-glycemic and raw cacao adds a natural caffeine punch. And if the health benefits don't charm you, the taste will: smooth Meyer lemon filling sitting atop a brownie crust (the crust recipe serves...
