One of the great things about being part of a baking group is that I do not need to think about what to make for the next holiday. I informed my husband we were having strawberry shortcakes for Father’s Day. The only decision he had to make was plain or roasted strawberries. He went with…

Chocolate-Cherry Brownies
Brownies, dark chocolate, dried cherries what’s not to like? Our baking assignment this week on Tuesdays with Dorie, chocolate-cherry brownies from Baking Chez Moi page 322. I cooked my brownies the recommended time and went with the “uniformly dull” top as my done point. Completely cooled I was able to cut them into serving sizes…
Rhubarb Upside Down Brown Sugar Cake
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are baking Rhubarb Upside Down Brown Sugar Cake from Baking Chez Moi. When this recipe was picked I casually checked the grocery stores to see if rhubarb was available and it was. But as luck would have it the week I need to buy it I can’t find it….
Coconut Tapioca
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are making Coconut Tapioca from Baking Chez Moi. I like tapioca pudding and thought this would be a fun dessert to try Like many members I had trouble finding the large pearl tapioca so I ended up buying the small. My pudding started to thicken quite quick, even…

Dorie gave the option of making caramelized Rice Krispies (page 428)…
Pink Grapefruit Tart
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are making Pink Grapefruit Tart page 138 from Baking Chez Moi. I voted for this one because my husband loves grapefruit and I thought it sounded different. Armed with my 10-pound bag of Texas Red Grapefruit, I was ready to start baking. My sweet tart dough turned out…
Marquise au Chocolat
We are diving into chocolate this week on Tuesdays with Doire. Marquise au Chocolat (page 357 in Baking Chez Moi) is a frozen chocolate mousse. To make, melt 13 ounces bittersweet chocolate with 1/2 cup butter. I used my microwave which I thought was easier than over simmering water. Beat 4 egg yolks, I used…
Brown-Butter-and-Vanilla Weekend Cake
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we made Brown-Butter-and-Vanilla Weekend Cake (page 6) from Baking Chez Moi. Brown butter is still a technique that I am learning. I usually don’t cook it long enough because I am afraid I am going to burn it but I am getting practice as Dorie has a few recipes with…
