Ganache Chocolate Nutella

Ganache Chocolate Nutella by Amos Miller

Use this topping on any thing you wish to enhance with CHOCOLATE, from baked goods to ice cream. It will keep for a couple of days unrefrigerated - a couple of weeks in the cooler. Sprinkle some finely chopped nuts on top of the ganache, if you wish - even some crushed peppermint candy. Gran Marnier and Chambord are great…

Faux Chocolate Silk Pie

Faux Chocolate Silk Pie by Salad Foodie

A chocolate lover’s delight and so easy for Easter or Mother’s Day dessert. Rich and smooth, this take on French chocolate silk pie has a secret - tofu replaces heavy cream! But no one will know the difference - unless you tell! I tried this out on my unsuspecting son who avoids tofu-anything. He sampled it, then scarfed the whole…

Shoo-Fly Pie

Shoo-Fly Pie by Denise Sherin

This is probably the most well known amish pie. When we were small children our Grandfather used to take great pleasure in telling us that shoo-fly pie was made of actual flies! As we gasped in horror, he would wave his hand as if "shoo'ing a fly away" and say we got tired of shooing the flies away as the pie was cooling so we just…

Tuesday Night At The Sonoma Farmers' Market And A Santa Rosa Plum Crostata by kathy gori

I must have been a farmer in a previous life. For as long as I can remember I've been fascinated by growing things that can be eaten. I can't fully explain the magic of that for a city kid, but to actually see the stuff that comes out of the cans or…

Mini Mango Tarts

Mini Mango Tarts by Hungry Jenny

When I made these, they deflated a little whilst cooling, then the tops cracked a bit after chilling in the fridge! I'm not sure what cooling tactics I was meant to use there (any advice welcome!) but they taste good, which is the important thing! http://hungryjenny.blogspot.com/2010/05/friday-pie-day-mini-mango-tarts.html

Berry Galette

Berry Galette by Stephen Lamb

Here's the summery pairing to the Galette Dough, largely inspired by Julia Child. Galette's aren't hard to make by any means, but they are just a few notches above cookies in the dessert hierarchy. One thing to be wary of is that this galette can leak a bit in the oven, so have a baking sheet or jelly roll pan lined with foil…

Galette Dough

Galette Dough by Stephen Lamb

Far from an original recipe, we've Julia Child to thank for this one, with my own commentary integrated into the recipe. A fantastic way to celebrate the berry season, add fruit as you wish. A word of warning, however--especially watery fruits like strawberries present a problem for this dessert. For one possible use, and…
