The first time this cheesecake came up for a vote, it did not win. The irony is that I was given a bag of tangerines after it lost. But here we are now making it. I did not recognize the recipe until I started making it. This is the same cheesecake recipe I got form…

Moroccan-Spiced Chickpea and Noodle Soup
I made this lovely soup for my family on Valentine’s Day. It was a welcome addition to our dinner table. The photo was taken on day two in which the soup became more stew-like as Dorie had stated. I preferred the first night in which the soup was thin and broth like. My husband preferred…
Dark Chocolate Pudding
This was a recipe I was looking forward to. I love chocolate and home made pudding is so good. This is a decadent dessert as it is made with whole milk, heavy cream, eggs, bittersweet chocolate and butter. This dessert did not disappoint, it was chocolaty and delicious. I may decrease the amount of cornstarch…
Meatballs and Spaghetti
I manage to cook on time but posting on my blog is still a problem for me. For Cook the Book Fridays we made Meatballs and Spaghetti or in my case Gemelli. We really loved this marinara sauce and meatballs that cooked on the stove for an hour and a half. Not a week night…
Butter-Glazed Turnips
Turnip is one of those vegetables that I don’t have much experience with. I wasn’t expecting too much with this recipe but we were pleasantly surprised. I bought the purple bottom variety. The recipe was pretty easy and cooked up in about ten minutes. We really enjoyed this vegetable that tasted a bit like a…
Brisket with Carrots
I had to make a few changes for this one. I don’t have a slow-cooker so I used the oven method instead. Since I was serving this for our Hanukkah dinner, I didn’t want two potatoes so I left out the sweet potatoes (though I should have left them in for the leftovers). Got to…
Apple Custard Crisp
When I joined the group, only two desserts had been made so it was an easy catch-up for me. This was the remaining dessert I had not made. Now that it is fall and apples are in season I decided to make this warm and cozy dessert. This was not our favorite, we enjoy a…
Molasses Coffee Cake
This cake was perfect for the holiday season; warm spices, molasses and coffee. My husband loved the smell as it was baking in the oven. I had to make one change to the glaze, I could not find white chocolate so I had to substitute. The next best thing I could find was salted blond…
Potato Tourte
I had some extra potatoes to use up and this recipe caught my eye, one that the group had already completed. “A tourte is France’s answer to our double-crusted pie”. It is made with two sheets of puff pastry. The center is filled with fresh herbs (I used dill and parsley), scallions, potatoes thinly sliced,…
Roasted Acorn Squash Wedges
Fall is finally here in California. With record heat for the past 3 months and wild fires a plenty I am so thrilled for the cooler weather and rain today! Squash is one of my favorite vegetables so I was looking forward to this recipe in Everyday Dorie. I had all the ingredients except the…
