“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…

Tuesdays with Dorie Rewind!
I am fairly new to all of Dorie’s cookbooks and I am currently cooking my way through three of them. One of my favorites is Baking From My Home To Yours. I wish I had known about this group when you were baking your way through it, it would have been fun to participate. I…
Apple Kuchen
I keep telling myself that Fall is coming. We have been having record heat and humidity in California and quite frankly I am tired of it. If I can’t get the weather to cooperate I at least can change my baking to Fall flavors. This week’s baking assignment from Baking Chez Moi is Apple Kuchen….
Jam Filled Sandwich Cookies
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie our baking assignment was Jam Filled Sandwich Cookies on pages 275-276. After reviewing the directions, these cookies were reminiscent of the hamentashen I make every year. Given the amount of work that goes into these cookies I was disappointed that the recipe only made 12 but lucky me using…
Bubble Éclairs
Tuesdays with Dorie, Bubble Éclairs and Book Club. This week our baking assignment landed on the day I have book club and I thought it would be nice to share Éclairs. I have never made Éclairs before so I was crossing my fingers that they would come out well. I channeled Mardi Michel’s confidence…
Vanilla Mango Panna Cotta
I love mango and think everything goes with mango but sadly my family does not share my love affair with this fruit. This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are making Vanilla Mango Panna Cotta on page 370 of Baking Chez Moi. I have never had or made a panna cotta before so this was all…
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…
Strawberry Shortcakes Franco-American Style
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…
Nutella Buttons
Tuesdays with Dorie. We are jumping into chocolate this week specifically Nutella. This recipe had techniques that were new to me so a learning experience all around. Dorie said the dough would resemble a paste which it did. Confectioners’ sugar, flour, baking powder and salt are combined. Then you add the egg yolks, vanilla, almond…
