At Food Blog Forum Orlando last weekend I won an amazing prize: Jaden Hair‘s The Steamy Kitchen: 101 Asian Recipes Simple Enough for Tonight’s Dinner. When I got home my little J came down with a fever and cough. My own followed. I wasn’t in the mood to cook, let alone sample new dishes. Or [...]

When I first heard about Food Blog Forum Orlando I had no idea what to expect. I even thought it might be boring. Boring?

From the snack of smoked sausage eaten while watching the waves (Bee Gees singing in the background, toddler zooming a convertible on the tile floor, mom stirring a cassoulet [...]
Read More...Rosemary-Orange-Lemon-Curd Slice
In the final hours before our holiday party, I didn’t want to be doing more than popping corn and putting on my mascara. I decided against making the Rosemary-Lemon Tartlets with Pine Nut Shortbread called for in DeSerio’s Sweets and Sparklers menu because of the requirement that they be assembled shortly before the party. I [...]
Read More...Salted Pineapple Pecan Angel Slice
My fave easy holiday slice is the Angel Slice from the Joy of Cooking (p. 764 of the 75th Anniversary Edition). With a taste and texture akin to butter tarts, it’s a winner every year. I never add the optional coconut because my husband has a textural dispute with the stuff. Instead, I’ve used all [...]
