Double Batch Chewy Salted Caramels

The holidays are a stressful time.  There are presents to buy, parties to plan, trips to take.  In the middle of all that, taking a few hours out of your day to make something delicious may seem a daunting task.  But I've found that some dedicated time in the kitchen can be a great way to unwind from all the holiday stress.

Pumpkin Pie with Gingersnap Crust and Cinnamon Whipped Cream

Hello, Gentle Readers.  Long time, no post.  Those who know me in real life have seen that it's been a busy time for me at work.  After all, Halloween parties and haunted houses have to get their cadavers from somewhere.  With Halloween behind me, though, it's time to turn to that most glorious of food holidays: Thanksgiving.

Brown Butter Peach Cobbler

The sun's still blazing here in California, but for most of the country, summer is officially drawing to a close.  I hear the temperature drops and the leaves change color and everything.  But before you pull out your comfy sweaters and boots, there might just be time to enjoy one last summer time recipe.

Honey-Glazed Triple Berry Cup Pies

Well, I've done Hannibal and Wonderfalls, so it seemed a little silly that I hadn't yet done a recipe for showrunner Bryan Fuller's other super delicious show, Pushing Daisies.

Fig Pancakes

Happy Comic Con weekend, everybody!  While I didn't attend the con this year, the news and pictures and panel videos that come out this weekend are always a lot of fun for genre fans the world over.  A couple friends of mine managed to get in on Thursday and Friday, and even attend the Hannibal panel, which, if you've been reading this blog regularly, you know is a pretty big deal to me.

No-Bake Strawberries 'N Cream Icebox Cake

It's getting to be that time of year.  All the windows stay permanently open, every fan is blowing, and there's always iced tea in the fridge.  It's summer in L.A. 

Duck Fat Fried Potatoes with Espelette Aïoli

You may have noticed, but this recipe isn't a dessert, nor does it even use the oven.  But sometimes you make something that you just have to share.  And these potatoes are far too yummy for me to keep to myself.
