This is a catch-up week for me in which I have combined three baking assignments into one. I encountered bakers burn-out just before Christmas so I have missed the last couple of posts but I am up and running now with burners full blaze. First up Olive Oil and Wine cookies from Baking Chez Moi…

Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
Tuesdays with Dorie is starting a new book, Dorie’s Cookies, which was just released October 25th. I actually have a copy of the book but not at my house. My sister pre-ordered the book for me way back in April and it delivered to her house instead of mine. My sister lives 50 miles from…
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. …
Betty’s Chocoholic Cake
I made Betty’s Chocoholic Cake from Baking Chez Moi by Dorie Greenspan as part of my Mother’s Day Brunch. This rich chocolate cake is not for the faint of heart, comprised of three layers of cake which are more brownie-like than cake and topped with ganache. The finished product was impressive. I served the cake…
Soft-Centered Chocolate Teacup Cakes
This month on Tuesdays with Dorie is all about the chocolate. This week I made the Soft-Centered Chocolate Teacup Cakes AKA lava cakes. I was not sure that my tea cups were oven safe so I used my ramekins. These cakes are dangerously good. You can make them in mere minutes and they were divine….
Hot Chocolate Panna Cotta
This month on Tuesdays with Dorie we are making chocolate desserts from Baking Chez Moi. This week I made Hot Chocolate Panna Cotta page 373. Heavy cream, cocoa powder, bittersweet chocolate. What’s not to like! A lovely dessert for the chocolate lover. I did make the Fluted Carrot Tangerine Cake (page 22) on time but…
Chocolate Chestnut Tart with Vanilla Chestnut Syrup
When I hear the word chestnuts I think of Nat King Cole’s version of The Christmas Song. Even though chestnuts seem synonymous with the holidays I have never had one until now. I took one baker’s suggestion to cut the chestnuts in half for easy cutting and eating. I also have finally learned to bake…
Chocolate Covered Toffee Break Ups
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are making Chocolate Covered Toffee Break Ups from Baking Chez Moi. The last thing I needed was more candy in my house, we still have Halloween buckets filled with candy, but I wanted to participate in the group. Candy making is not my forte so I was a…
Tiger Cakes
“The worst chocolate I ever had was fantastic”. A quote that Ree Drummond’s father-in-law said on one of her shows. A sentiment that I wholeheartedly agree with. This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we made Tiger Cakes from Baking Chez Moi. As with many of Dorie’s recipes I learned a few new techniques. This recipe…
