This week for Tuesdays with Dorie I made Pear Tart with Crunchy Almond Topping. I choose three different kinds of pears for my tart. Dorie did not specifically say to do this but since many of her apple recipes call for using different kinds I figure this would be Dorie approved for pears. As many…

Custardy Apple Squares
One of our two baking assignments this month for Tuesdays with Dorie are these Custardy Apple Squares. I decided to make these first as part of our Rosh Hashanah dinner. This simple cake came together quickly. I used my food processor to thinly slice three apples as I did not have a mandoline. The ingredients include…
Edouard’s Chocolate Chip Cookies
The latest recipe from Baking Chez Moi were these devilishly delicious chocolate chip cookies. It really is hard to eat just one. These cookies are worth the 2 hour chill time required before baking. The addition of almond flour is the unique ingredient that makes them oh so scrumptious. I recommend you make Edouard’s Chocolate Chip…
Esquimaux Pops for Grown-Ups
I took Mardi Michel’s advice and made ice cream balls instead of the pops for this week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe from Baking Chez Moi. This is a no cook ice cream in which I used a pasteurized egg and the grown-up part is the inclusion of alcohol. I used Chambord as my liqueur selection. …
Philadelphia Blueberry-Corn Tart
I am an Olympic enthusiast. I enjoy seeing the best realize their dreams. This Philadelphia Blueberry-Corn Tart from Baking Chez Moi would do nicely for a patriotic dessert commemorating the start of the Olympic games. I have burned many a crust, so I have learned to use a lower temperature 375 degrees and less time….

So many nice things about summer including all the fruit. Galettes are easy…
Cornmeal and Berry Cakes
This month on Tuesdays with Dorie we have selected two summer fruit desserts. This week I decided to make the Cornmeal and Berry Cakes from Baking Chez Moi. The recipe calls for raspberries but I substituted blueberries and I think any berry would work well in these cakes. This recipe came together quickly and easily…
Rice Pudding, Strawberries and Spiced Hibiscus Syrup
In June, Tuesdays with Dorie baking group made this rice pudding. I finally had a chance to make this recipe. I voted for this as I have a pudding and rice lover in my house. Making pudding from scratch is a labor of love as it involves stirring for almost 40 minutes but the wait is…
Rose Fraisier
“Fraise means strawberry and Le Fraisier is the French cake that celebrates the fruit”. I ended up making a strawberry cake as I did not have the rose syrup and rose extract needed for this recipe. This was a show stopping cake and my guests were impressed. I am glad that I was able to…
Tarte Tropezienne
This weeks baking assignment for Tuesdays with Dorie is Tarte Tropezienne from Baking Chez Moi. This is a brioche cake with a pastry cream filling. This cake has quite the legend and you can read more about it at La Tarte Tropezienne. I have one rule for baking and that is to decrease the liquid in…
