Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Chocolate-orange challah with saffron

    • chawkins on May 26, 2016

      The orange flavor came through and paired well with the chocolate. The saffron flavor, however, could not be detected even though I used a generous pinch, so I''ll skip that next time. I used the minimum amount of flour specified, and the dough was a bit dry, not enough hydration. As a result, braiding was somewhat difficult in the end, when you tried to tuck the ends in and they did not stick together too well.

  • The best black & white cookies

    • hillsboroks on June 07, 2017

      These are a lovely rich chocolate shortbread cookie with a bit of white chocolate on top. The recipe was easy to put together and I chilled the dough logs for about 3 hours. The 11 minutes baking time was spot on. Don't skimp on ingredients for these cookies. I used Scharffen Berger Cocoa and Lindt white chocolate bars here and the results were great.

Small bites and treats to share

The best gatherings are simple, yet somehow special. They might begin with an impromptu picnic after shopping at the farmer’s market or a late lunch with neighbors that stretches into cocktails under the stars. Whatever the occasion, this picture-perfect cookbook shows how to turn any meal into a delectable affair. These effortless recipes for brunch, teatime, happy hours, picnics, potlucks, and dessert all include a whimsical twist: a few slices of French toast doused in lavender syrup, rainbow chard empanadas served with pistachio crema, or a vibrant purple cauliflower hummus. With tips on creating an inviting table, stocking a pantry to make last-minute nibbles, and packing delicious parting gifts for guests, Food with Friends will inspire any get-together, however large or small.
