Summer test kitchen
Now that the drab spectrum of winter is behind us, the weather is warm and a variety of produce is in season, baking with fresh flavors and lots of color is an effortless decision. I’ve been cranking out cookies, cupcakes, cakes, candies, ice creams, puddings, breads, donuts, and whoopie pies nearly every day for the …
Cucumber Basil Sorbet
I’m really not a fan of sorbet. It’s among the ranks of spaghetti and marinara, steamed vegetables, the infamous hummus plate, and every half-baked idea of a meal dreamed up by omnivores as desirable vegan fare. Oh, ice crystal-encrusted frozen strawberry pulp that melts into soup within thirty seconds? Mmm, delicious. That sounds way better …

I had leftover frosting from the Chocolate Rosewater Lemonade Cupcakes my friend Laurie and I made yesterday, so of course I needed to make something else to employ the rest of the frosting, which turned out to be fluted shortbread rounds with frosting piped on, sandwiched together. Delicate and flavorful. I totally drank the prop …
Oatmeal Cookies with Blueberries and Dark Chocolate Chunks
This is the basic soft and delicious oatmeal cookie recipe from the book, with the addition of dried blueberries and dark chocolate, chopped up. This cookie is the canvas for many different possibilities for additions, and sweet delicate blueberries are the perfect complement. If you’ve never had the pleasure of trying dried blueberries, I recommend …
Fruity: Chewy Banana Cookies, Pumpkin Spice, Blueberry. And some PB Grahams
Chewy Banana-Banana Cookies I’ve been trying to make chewy banana cookies, on and off, for about a year and it finally happened! They’re called banana-banana cookies, rather than banana-oatmeal or banana-nut, because the banana shines in this recipe! Chewy Pumpkin Spice Cookies I have a fluffy pumpkin cookie, but here is the elusive CHEWY pumpkin …
