This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are making Coconut Tapioca from Baking Chez Moi. I like tapioca pudding and thought this would be a fun dessert to try Like many members I had trouble finding the large pearl tapioca so I ended up buying the small. My pudding started to thicken quite quick, even…

Limoncello Cupcakes
I have recently been on vacation so I am familiarizing myself with the inter-workings of a kitchen again. I found my assignment for the week, Limoncello Cupcakes (page 194) in Baking Chez Moi. When my son got home from school and wanted to know why the cupcakes were on a fancy dish. He said “Is…
Crispy-Topped Brown Sugar Bars
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are making Crispy-Topped Brown Sugar Bars (page 324) from Baking Chez Moi. Dorie’s cookbook states “This is what Rice Krispies Treats would have been had they been born in France.” My son still likes the original the best. Dorie gave the option of making caramelized Rice Krispies (page 428)…
Pink Grapefruit Tart
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are making Pink Grapefruit Tart page 138 from Baking Chez Moi. I voted for this one because my husband loves grapefruit and I thought it sounded different. Armed with my 10-pound bag of Texas Red Grapefruit, I was ready to start baking. My sweet tart dough turned out…
Marquise au Chocolat

To make, melt 13 ounces bittersweet chocolate with 1/2 cup butter. I used my microwave which I thought was easier than over simmering water. Beat 4 egg yolks, I used…
Brown-Butter-and-Vanilla Weekend Cake

I usually don’t cook it long enough because I am afraid I am going to burn it but I am getting practice as Dorie has a few recipes with…
Granola Energy Bars
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are making Granola Energy Bars (page 328) from Baking Chez Moi. This is a healthy start to the new year. Has this ever happened to you? You find little pieces missing from your baked goods. I enjoyed this recipe mostly because I had all the ingredients. Filled with…
Buche de Noel
We dove deep into holiday cakes on Tuesdays with Dorie with the Buche de Noel. This is a multi-layer cake that definitely needs a day to do. The eggs and sugar were cooked over a water until 110-120 degrees then whipped with a mixer until doubled in size. This was a new technique for me…
The Rugelach That Won Over France
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are making rugelach and not just any rugelach but the rugelach that won over France from Baking Chez Moi (page 301). After reading the discussion thread on the website I decided to make a few adjustments before baking. I made the dough and chilled it in the refrigerator for…

This week we are diving into the holidays with Cranberry Crackle Tart (page 135). I am a seasoned baker but…
