Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Fresh fig bars

    • chawkins on September 14, 2021

      These were delicious, very fragrant and not too sweet. I used three cups of stem and quartered figs from our tree. Unfortunately, my filling was not thick enough even though I cooked it for double the recommended time, so the cookies were a little bit messy, hence no photo. I wondered if I should have measured the figs before stemming and quartering.

    • chawkins on September 20, 2021

      The tree is still gifting me with tons of figs and I found out that the bars freezes well, so I made these again, this time cooking the filling down a little more, it splatters a lot, so beware. I also put the filling in the fridge overnight. This time around, the result is more presentable, so photo attached.

  • Cornmeal cake with fresh corn and berries

    • amraub on August 23, 2012

      A nice, hearty cake that's good for snacking. I would prefer more berries in the cake (I used a mixture of blackberries and raspberries), but it's a good base.

  • Ginger-pear skillet cake

    • Serious Eats

      ...a wonderful introduction into the world of baking with pears. The base for the cake is a super-moist gingerbread... While this cake is great straight out of the oven, it's even better the next day

  • Grilled-fig sundaes with balsamic "fudge"

    • Serious Eats

      ...a perfect transitional dessert. ...finished with a sprinkle of sea salt and cracked black pepper, savory elements that tie together the sweet and tart notes of this gorgeous early fall sundae.

    • Lisa Is Cooking

      Savory flavors from the grill smoke and rosemary challenged the sweetness of the peaches and gelato in a delicious way. Likewise, the sauce was a mix of sweet and tart, rather than just sweet...

  • Apple, pear & quince galette

    • Serious Eats

      No need to worry if you aren't able to find quinces in your area, feel free to substitute another apple, pear, or even better, an Asian pear.

  • Farmer's secret chocolate bundt cake

    • Serious Eats

      The grated vegetables add a great deal of moisture to the cake, keeping butter and fats to a minimum. Once cooked, the zucchini and beets practically melt into the cake.

  • Strawberry buckwheat tea cake

    • Lisa Is Cooking

      The inspiration for this tea cake was strawberry and buckwheat pancakes. By adding browned butter to the cake batter, it becomes reminiscent of a buttery stack of pancakes.
