• lemon anise coffee cake

  

  Baked this in a 1 quart, 7-inch diameter kugelhopf pan. The recipe was inspired by this one from epicurious, but I modified it to include anise flavor. I’m a fan of all things licorice, but I read somewhere that it is insanely hypertension-inducing to eat licorice, even in small amounts. My favorite tea was licorice. But […]

  One thing I learned today? The IRS hold music isn’t so bad! I mean, it’s a fairly nondescript piece of instrumental music, but since you will usually wait for more than 15 minutes–I waited 30+ minutes, btw–you don’t want to recognize where the loop starts and ends, because then you will be ware of how […]

• Maida Heatter’s Best Damn Lemon Cake

  

  Over the weekend, I told a friend that I was running out of ideas of things to bake. That’s not exactly accurate. I have a lot of ideas, I just can’t seem to put them into action. My perfectionism gets in the way. It seems I have a sort of “baker’s block”. I think the antidote to […]

• preserved lemon and raspberry bundt cake

  

  Greetings! The baking in hot weather continues… I finally made some time to bake something. It was a combination of not planning ahead, not having a clean kitchen, needing to do other things, not getting enough sleep, and of course, the hot weather, which makes me want to stay as far away from an oven […]

  This weekend is Memorial Day weekend in the US. The weather during most Memorial Day weekends in Seattle tends to be cloudy, and not quite rainy, but not quite sunny, either. Just sort of blah! Typical late spring weather. This makes it hard to know how to dress, especially if you are planning to go to […]

  I knew the glorious sunny day that we had on Friday here in Seattle wasn’t going to last, and that it would be rainy this weekend, which typically makes me want to bake something. After seeing a video of Chef Raymond Blanc, imploring viewers that they MUST make this, I decided to give it a whirl! This is a […]

  So glad I found this. I don’t know how many times I’ve had wilted blueberries sitting in a plastic box in my fridge. This is the perfect antidote, because you can’t tell they’ve wilted! Taken from Natalie Paramore’s amazing site here. Thanks for a great recipe, Natalie.   Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake 1 1/2 cups […]
