Thanksgiving is by far my most favorite holiday mostly because I get to cook it. I like it so much that I usually try and host a Thanksgiving-like meal one other time during the year. For a while I was hosting a “Thanksgiving in July” but this past summer was so hot that I could…

Cherry Crumb Tart
Cherries are a family favorite in my house. I look forward to summer every year just so I can make Sweet Cherry Pie from Cook’s Illustrated. When I saw this recipe for Cherry Crumb Tart I knew I wanted to make it and I was equally glad that it was chosen for this week’s Tuesdays…
Apricot Raspberry Tart
When voting time came up on Tuesdays with Dorie, I wanted to make all the recipes with summer fruit. I just love summer and its bounty of fresh fruit. The group voted for Apricot Raspberry Tart page 145 from Baking Chez Moi. Dorie’s Sweet Tart Dough is flawless and I can get it to come…

Gerard’s Mustard Tart
Since mushrooms do not go over well in my house, I decided to do a make-up for French Fridays with Dorie. I have seen many rave reviews about Gerard’s Mustard Tart (page 154) so I decided to make that. This was delicious. Dorie’s tart dough is fool proof and I like her ratio of ingredients….
Provencal Vegetable Soup
This week on French Fridays with Dorie was provencal vegetable soup. I didn’t mind having soup in the summer because it was filled with so many fresh vegetables. Dorie says this classic dish is from the south of France. It is a soup but is almost like a stew since it is packed with so…
