Last sum­mer I ended up inher­it­ing a set of cast iron cake pans. They had been in the fam­ily for sev­eral gen­er­a­tions and are in the shape of 3-D lambs. I wasn’t famil­iar with this tra­di­tion and a lit­tle inter­net research brought me to learn more about these sought-after lamb cake molds.

The tra­di­tion of lamb-shaped […]

reduce the juice

On March 7, 2011 By

As I’d men­tioned before, I’ve started work­ing with fruit juice as a sweet­ener in some bak­ing exper­i­ments. Why not just use agave or maple syrup, you ask? Well, there is some con­tro­versy regard­ing the safety of agave nec­tar in larger quan­ti­ties (just Google it, if you’re curi­ous) and maple syrup is ter­ri­bly expen­sive to be […]

simple pleasures

Things that make me happy:

The Pear Cin­na­mon Cider from Trader Joe’s is off-the-hook amaz­ing. I’m afraid it will dis­ap­pear right after the hol­i­days, as many of the good­ies they have this time of year do, so I’ve stock­piled sev­eral con­tain­ers of it. SO FREAKING GOOD.

What makes it bet­ter? Drink­ing it with […]
