For this first day of Spring, Sunny-Side-Up Meringues. This is a dessert take on “eggs”. The base is a meringue cookie which whipped up pretty easy, most of the work was in the oven. The “yolk” is a mixed citrus curd of lemon, lime and orange. I need to take a master class on curd…

Apple Weekend Cake
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi According to Dorie this recipe is from the Normandy region of France. For this cake she suggests using sweet, juicy apples so I went with Jazz apples which are a fusion between a Royal Gala and a Bareburn Apple. My notes for this recipe were moist, delicious, easy and…
Hamantaschen
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are making Hamantaschen. I voted for this one to see Dorie’s take on this Purim cookie. I learned how to make hamantaschen from Faye Levy’s International Jewish Cookbook. Her One, Two, Three Cookie Dough recipe has been the staple in my family. I have varied the fillings but…
Cheesecake, Alsace Style
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi Alsace is France’s easternmost region. This cheesecake, sans cheese, is made with Greek yogurt, heavy cream, eggs and baked in a Galette crust. My guests deemed it custard-like. Baked in a springform pan, my crust shrank during baking and I feared I ruined my dessert. But fear-not the filling…
Bee’s Sneeze Nuggets
Tuesdays with Dorie Dorie’s Cookies These nuggets are packed with lemon flavor: lemon juice, lemon rind and lemon extract. When I took them out of the oven my son declared that it smelled like lemon. I served these Bee’s Sneeze Nuggets with the suggested honey accompaniment and with Limoncello Gin Cocktails. These were a big…
Chocolate Creme Caramel
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi Chocolate Creme Caramel started our Valentine’s week off right. Made with few ingredients to dramatic effect. I had eight inch round ramekins so I ended up with flat creme caramels. I used milk chocolate because that is what I had available. I made one mistake, I forgot to press…
Sebastian’s Remarkably Wonderful Brownies
Tuesdays with Dorie Dorie’s Cookies I knew these brownies would be a hit in my house because there were no “funny” ingredients added. My family are purest and do not like any nuts or add-ins in their brownies. And of course there is only one way to eat a brownie… Sebastian’s Remarkably Wonderful Brownies page…
Orange Almond Tart
Tuesdays with Dorie Around My French Table This tart seemed well received by my fellow bakers and bloggers from the now completed French Fridays with Dorie. I joined the group year 3 of 4 so I missed most of the dessert recipes. With an extra Tuesday this month I embarked on completing one of my unfinished recipes. …
Crunchy Granola
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi My second turn at making granola this month and this time I was more successful. Dorie’s detailed and easy to follow recipe made for a great batch of granola. The key for me was adding the sweetened coconut at the end of baking, I added it at the last…
Chunkers
Tuesdays with Dorie Dorie’s Cookies Chunkers are sinfully delicious chocolate cookies with cashews, dried cherries and more chocolate. These cookies are a labor of love due to the amount of chopping for all ingredients. The Trader Joe’s bars of chocolate that I buy are thick and create quite a workout for chopping. The cookies are…
