• amarena cherry brûlée tart

  

  Greetings! Once the beginning of February rolls around, I often look for Valentine’s Day dessert ideas. This recipe was based on a similar dessert that uses raspberries instead of Amarena cherries, from a book called Tarts: The art of baking irresistible sweet and savory pastries, by Maggie Mayhew, which was published 2002. The crust was […]

• chocolate cherry loaf cake

  

  Is it a food blogging faux pas to post two chocolate cake recipes back to back? The last one had oat bran and wasn’t a loaf cake, so does it not count? This one is something that feels Christmassy to me, for some reason, although I was really going to something for Valentine’s Day. It’s […]

• fresh pineapple cake

  

  After about a week of just sitting on our kitchen counter taking space, I finally found a great recipe for the fresh pineapple that Ben received from work. Due to the pandemic, they were shutting down the kitchens and needed to donate the pineapple or just throw it out. I’m glad we were able to […]

• cherry rye hot cross buns

  

  This is based on 101 cookbooks’ recipe for Black Bread, substituting the carrots and caraway seeds with dried sour cherries. This came about because I’ve been wanting to make hot cross buns, but also wanting to use more rye and whole grains in my bread baking, so this is the culmination of those two goals. I […]

• cherry wink cake bars

  

  Cherry winks are popular holiday cookies originating in the US in the 1950s. This cookie usually calls for a maraschino cherry in the center of each cookie with Kellogg’s Corn Flakes® cereal coated around the sides of the cookie and baked. I instead chose to use sour cherries and fine cornmeal in a cake, still topping it with […]

• pistachio cherry cookies

  

  Fresh cherries in a cookie??! I had to be careful, because of the juice in the cherries . If they are very juicy, you may want to drain them somewhat, or toss them in flour. Otherwise you will wind up with gray colored cookies, which are a little unappetizing. If you do not think you […]

  We’ve started having summer-like days, and even though the first official day of summer isn’t for a few more weeks, in Seattle, summer has already started! I call it the Seattle Frenzy. Everyone and their mother is out on the weekends trying to make the most of their day outdoors, hiking, picnicking, and doing almost everything under […]

  Summer! It has arrived! The weather was perfect. And I as write this, there is still a trace of light on the horizon! At half past 10! What better way to celebrate the start of summer than to make something with a summer fruit! To me, cherries are my favorite summer fruit. Bing cherries, especially. […]

  Okay, so THIS is my last post at the old place, I promise. We are moving to a new place this Thursday. It has a bigger kitchen, but the lighting isn’t as good as this place. Oh well. A few days ago I learned that Facebook is moving into this neighborhood. 2,000 employees will move […]
