  Orange Turmeric Cake, p. 96 Made this for Passover 2016. Used 3/4 c. almond flour, 3/4 c. cornmeal, and 3/4 GF flour mix. Cake came right out of the lined pan and the glaze looks just like in the book, except a tad darker. The cake is very rich and satisfying, but I think it is the kind of thing you can only eat a little of before setting it aside. It would be great with a cup of tea. Probably not a make again.

  Chia Pudding, p. 231 Made this today for tomorrow's Passover celebration. Doubled the recipe and did not make the topping. Very nice but the consistency is loose. Next time I will cut back on the water ratio.

Notes about Recipes in this book

• Brioche

  • Astrid5555 on October 30, 2016

    This is quite a time consuming recipe, however most of time is just waiting for the dough to rise. All in all it took more than 15 hours until the final brioche loaf came out of the oven. I started the recipe the night before, and it took much longer than anticipated until I could put it in the fridge for its overnight rise. Instead of mixing the dough for 20-30 minuted in my Kitchen Aid it took almost 50 minutes until I finally heard the required slapping sound from the dough pulling away from the sides of the bowl and being able to do the windopane test. The dough rose beautifully first for two hours outside and then overnight in the fridge. I used half a recipe to make a brioche loaf and used the other half to make the Apricot Morning Buns. While the Brioche tastes great I think there are other, quicker recipes out there that produce similar results (Rose Levy Beranbaum's Brioche from Roses's Heavenly Cakes is such an example).

• Apricot morning buns

  • Astrid5555 on October 30, 2016

    These are delicious! However, the brioche dough is very sticky and thus very difficult to work with. I was not able to roll the dough into a rectangle with a rolling pin, but had to pat it into the required shape. Also rolling it up proved very difficult. The dough stuck to the parchment paper and the jam was oozing out quite a bit. Only after freezing the bun log for an hour was I somewhat able to slice it into pieces. I will definitely make these buns again, but maybe with an other brioche dough recipe?

• Peach ricotta scones

  • bwhip on August 17, 2019

    Prep was a bit fiddly, but the end result was really worth it. These are excellent, with lots of delicious fresh peach flavor, and the bit of ricotta cream puts them over the top. Really good.

• Strawberry basil scones

  • julesamomof2 on May 25, 2017

    I had some trouble when mixing the frozen strawberries into the dough as the mixture turned out very wet (I should have dried the strawberries after washing them). I thought I was going to have to scrap the whole thing, but they turned out great! I froze them for a good 36 hours before baking and they were delicious!

• Brown buttercream

  • DKennedy on July 06, 2016

    I was at my friend Susan's home for dinner and she made the 4 layer chocolate cake with brown buttercream frosting. All I can say is wow. This frosting is the stuff of legends.

• Turmeric orange cake

  • DKennedy on March 18, 2025

    Had the turmeric orange muffin with turmeric glaze. so delicious and different.

• Pear cake

  • Prim on August 22, 2016

    This is a moist and beautiful flavoured cake. Made no adjustments to the recipe. Adding to my go to desert list.

  • Astrid5555 on October 16, 2016

    As the author mentions this cake is inspired by Dorie Greenspan's Apple cake. Equally delicious, just a little less custardy on the inside because you do not mix the batter by hand but whisk the eggs and sugar with the mixer until thick and pale before adding the rest of the ingredients. Will definitely make again!

  • Cotonqueen on October 27, 2017

    Excellent flavor, deeper pearness after 24 hrs. Easy!!

• Lemon semolina cakes

  • TinyCitiKitchen on July 19, 2023

    We call these "the little lemon guys" in my house. Delicious and also kind of adorable. I bake them in individual silicone cups, which work beautifully.

• Salted chocolate bouchons

  • RosieB on August 14, 2016

    These were a bit disappointing. I bought buchon molds from Amazon and I suspect they were slightly larger than the recipe called for. I only had batter for 11. They took a lot longer to cook than the recipe stated but this could be because the molds were larger. They were so chocolatly. Probably more than needed. I will make again but reduce the cocoa powder.

  • DKennedy on October 13, 2017

    This is the recipe Susan uses and they are lovely.

• Chai sugar cookies

  • julesamomof2 on February 11, 2017

    Fun twist on a your typical sugar cookie with the chai spices. Will make again and again

• Fennel blondies

  • montecristo99 on May 29, 2017

    Fantastic! Halved this recipe and baked it in an 8x8-inch pan. Turned out on the thick side, more like a cake, but that was just fine. Dense, moist, and delicious--my mother declared it one of the best things she's ever eaten. Next time I might increase the fennel seeds (I love licorice), but the flavor as written is lovely and mild and was appreciated even by my non-licorice-loving friends.

• Onion Swiss scones

  • RosieB on July 09, 2016

    These were a bit of work as you have to make the caramilised onions,make the dough and freeze before cooking but they were delicious served warm with a bowl of home made soup.

• Potato bacon herb biscuits

  • julesamomof2 on March 13, 2017

    It doesn't say whether to peel the potatoes or not?

  • julesamomof2 on March 18, 2017

    I made these (and peeled the potatoes) and they were perfect! They looked just like the picture, too.
