Notes about Recipes in this book

• Grand Central Bakery jammers

  • radishseed on June 04, 2019

    Filled with Rhubarb hibiscus compote from "Good to the Grain." A+

• Cranberry orange pecan bread

  • nadiam1000 on November 24, 2020

    Delicious and moist texture - not too sweet with enough orange flavor but not overwhelming. I baked in 9 x 5 loaf pans and the loaves baked up a bit short and flat on top. Next time I would bake in a slight smaller loaf pan to get better height and maybe a crack on top.

  • radishseed on November 26, 2023

    My loaf pans are 8 x 4 inches, so a little smaller than the recipe calls for. I worried they might spill over, but they just rose very high, and most of the cranberries and pecans also rose to the top. Baking time was a little longer.

• Popovers

  • okmosa on August 02, 2015

    The recipe is perfect except they stuck. Maybe I didn't heat the pan enough or didn't use enough butter.

• Granola

  • PQPantry on March 07, 2022

    Nice granola not overly sweet

• Triple-chocolate cookies

  • mabeysmom on April 17, 2010

    Made 4/17. Used 1 tsp vanilla and 1/2 tsp creamy hazelnut extract

• Orange nutmeg cookies

  • radishseed on June 03, 2019

    Made lemon-thyme cookies by adding lemon thyme and lemon zest and omitting orange zest and nutmeg. Ate with strawberry-rhubarb sorbet.

• Hazelnut poppy seed cookies

  • nadiam1000 on July 17, 2022

    I love shortbread and this is an interesting and delicious variation. I happened to have some poppy seeds and hazelnuts to use up so this was a perfect fit. Flavor and texture are excellent. easy to make ahead and bake off a few at a time.

• Peanut butter sandwich cookies

  • PatriciaScarpin on March 17, 2012

    This recipe is delicious - both the cookies and filling are wonderful. But there was some filling left, I believe that 3/4 of the filling recipe would be enough to fill the cookies.

• Rosemary bread pudding

  • kbrooks on May 13, 2025

    Very savory side. Perfect for roast chicken or meat roasts.

• Summer strata

  • kbrooks on May 22, 2024

    I've also made this with peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes and smoked gouda.

• Winter strata

  • kbrooks on August 17, 2025

    Delicious hearty strata. I used Swiss chard,aged gruyere and my homemade sourdough bread.

• Roasted corn with chiles tart

  • kbrooks on May 03, 2026

    Very tasty flavors. Husband loves it. Can use poblanos if you don't have Anaheims. Best when made with fresh farmers market corn in season.

• Clafouti

  • okmosa on July 10, 2016

    2016-07-09 I think I've made better clafoutis recipes. Not sure about the blender instead if whisking, not letting batter sit 10 mins, or the sugar on top.

• Cream cheese apple cake

  • kbrooks on May 03, 2026

    Nice moist apple cake.
