It’s (Harry Pot­ter!) Christ­mas in July!

Well, maybe you like fudge all year round, but I usu­ally think of it as a hol­i­day treat. And who wouldn’t love a hol­i­day pack­age of good­ies from Mrs. Weasley? Seri­ously, I want to be a mom just like her when I grow up…

Any­way, you can enjoy a […]

That’s right, nerdy lovers of all things Hog­warts. It’s that spe­cial time of year. I’ve got my mid­night tick­ets (and didn’t take Fri­day off of work!), a new HP-related t-shirt to wear and I’m ready to roll. Well, in a week and a half I will be. Until then…

I present to you, Dementor’s […]

A cou­ple of weeks ago, Megan, the owner, con­tacted me to let me know they were open and to see if I’d stop by the next time we […]

The word “gin­ger” has got­ten a bad rap.

Well, you know what? It’s time to take a stand. I love me some Weasleys and I love me some ginger, too.

pressure cookin’!

On June 14, 2011 By

This video is a long time in the mak­ing. After years of hear­ing fears, urban leg­ends and other gen­eral belly aching about pres­sure cook­ers, I decided it was time enough to put this silli­ness to rest and demon­strate how truly easy it is to make awe­some food using a pres­sure cooker.

Sorry for being MIA. I should be back to a more nor­mal post­ing schedule soon.

Until then– a cake for you to bake in your rice cooker! This cake is from the Not-Baked chap­ter in my new cook­book. It’s too darn hot to run your oven, but it’s not fair for Mother Nature to expect […]

I want to share some­thing deca­dent with you.

Raw choco­late.

Rich, creamy, coconut sweet­ened raw chocolate.

A few weeks ago I dis­cov­ered Lulu’s Choco­late Alchemy when the lovely Luna brought some bars to our yoga immer­sion, for our post-practice prasad. Wowza! It was the rich­est, smoothest choco­late I’d ever had and […]
