Probably this is the last post before Christmas, so why not make it about cookies. Again.
I must warn you – these gingerbread cookies are very tasty and worth the effort but the dough is rather difficult to handle. After I managed to get done with cutting the cookies my kitchen looked like after the […]
I am on a mission to find good cookies recipes. Cookies that don’t taste like sugar mixed with flour. Perhaps I already mentioned that so far the best source was Cook’s Illustrated and this is the case this time. These cookies have nice buttery flavor and very sandy texture, which causes them to just melt […]
Although winter has come to some parts of the world it is still away from where I live right now. I don’t know for how long though, since it is very cold outside. Regardless, I thought I will bring some sugar powder snow to my kitchen and freshly baked cookies. Almond Spritz Cookies are great […]
Forgive me less than perfect shape of my ladyfingers. But at least you can see the importance of the pastry bag tip. Fortunately shape does not influence the taste! Not so much at least.
Ladyfingers can be eaten just as baked but often they’re used as a base for desserts. Tiramisu is the most famous […]
Yesterday was my friend’s birthday and I was thinking what would be a nice gift for her. Then it occurred to me, why not bake some delicious cookies for her! Crispy Oatmeal cookies are really good, and as she put it – they are addictive. I agree. Each time I make them they’re gone in […]
Sometimes I need to eat something sweet. Oh no! I used this one already. Ok, then let’s go with: Sometimes I have some leftover egg whites in the fridge. Often I wondered what to do with them, but not anymore. Meringues are egg whites cookies that can be shaped beautifully with pastry bags and stored […]
I always look for new farmer’s cheese uses. Usually it ends up on my sourdough bread, topped with honey (yumy!) but often I am not able to finish entire package before the expiration date. You can see where my problem is.. Also I often think loudly about my food related problems, among others, and […]
I don’t need much of encouragement to bake, but quickly approaching Holiday Season is a good excuse, don’t you think?
I think about baking for friends as a great way to express how much I care about them. And cookies are especially easy to give. I love to bake them, pack in little boxes or jars, […]
I must confess, pumpkin is pretty new to me. I knew it can be used to make a delicious milk based soup, that my grandma used to make for me, but that is it. After moving to US I discovered there is much more to know. There is “other” pumpkin soup, I have heard […]
