We hosted a small Thanksgiving dinner at our house this year. One of my friend brought her very own home made cranberry sauce. And quite a lot of it too. It’s a delicious, spicy, citrus-y cran relish really and my mind immediately went to what else I could do with a surfeit of the stuff. [...]

It’s that time of year, of course, for making wonderful things with apples. One of my favorite baking blogs to read is Confessions of a Tart. Great pictures and inspiring recipes.

When Cynthia and I lived together before, the area we worked in was thick with wild raspberries. As soon as she’d park the car, she’d wade hip deep into the bramble to pluck and eat as many raspberries as she possibly could; on the way in to work, on the way home, on the way [...]

Last week, I attended a tarts and pies class at the fancy cooking shop near my house. In two teams, we went through the stages of rolling out tart/pie crust (pre-made by our instructor the night before), slicing strawberries and apples for a crumble, slicing peaches for a crostata, and heating cream and milk to [...]
