November 14, 2010

Today is a momentous moment in my personal baking history. Ladies and gentleman, the images of crinkly cookies you are currently viewing represent the very first Vegan baked good I’ve ever made.

November 5, 2010

As I not so patiently waited for the evening of my authentic Chinese cooking class to arrive my one constant mantra became dumplings…dumplings…dumplings. Lilly Jan was somehow going to teach me how to make dumplings and I couldn’t be happier. This particular class was held at my favorite instructional cooking venue, Create-a-Cook.

The first thing that came to mind as I topped these cupcakes with their frizzy hats of mint was that I’d obviously just baked an edible version of the Truffula Tress from The Lorax. Which makes these appear child-friendly but since they’re doused in booze it’s probably best if you save this recipe for a [...]

Kitchen Little in Mystic, CT

September 8, 2010

On Monday morning I awoke to the official end of summer curled up in a cozy twin bed in CK’s grandparent’s house in Niantic, Connecticut. The air in the bedroom was crisp and cool and I was starving. A hearty breakfast immediately became my number one priority of the day. So like any good iPhone [...]
