Recipes by Kenzi Wilbur (Page 2)
On the apple uptakeOn the apple uptakeI’m a bit late on the apple uptake, I know.While I’m giving you recipes for tarte tatin, the recognizable orchard bags full of the season’s best Macouns and Empires are slowly being replaced by mounds of their less fresh, less crisp cousins.You know the ones – they kind of disappointingly dissolve instead of that… |

Until you get to wherever you're goingUntil you get to wherever you're goingEvery family has their vacation traditions.There are those two weeks in late August where the old Bronco is packed up to it’s sturdy if not slightly rusted brim, trunk nearly bursting with towels and folding chairs and the stuffed animals that just can’t be left behind. Bikes are strapped… |

On religious pretzels and lovely western AfricansSometimes, I feel wholly justified in sleeping for eleven hours.At the moment I’m writing this, I just crawled out of my own bed for the first time in weeks, and I’m currently yawning, confused, and desperately trying to remember how the coffee routine in my house works.At least I’m well-rested.I just got back from a study tour of… |

Foolproof formulaFoolproof formulaHave we talked about instant gratification on here yet? And how I, like most people, like it quite a bit?Well, I do. I like it in all forms. My friend Katherin (the birthday-galette maker, remember?) and I hike this trail every so often that we have come to call Instant Gratification Hill. The name is… |

Appropriately veganesqueAppropriately veganesqueVeganism is something I kind of shy away from. If you know me, you are well aware of my borderline sanity-threatening obsession with cheese. I am simply not willing to give that up. We can peacefully coexist, veganism and I, it’s just not my cup of proverbial tea, much like socks with individual toes or cutting… |

Things owedThings owedI suppose I owe you pita.I’ve never owed anyone pita before. Money, sure. Favors, yes. But never pita. I’ll have to say, it’s not the worst kind of debt to have over your head. In fact, it’s actually quite nice. I’ve been running around lately, thinking every now and then about how I need to get on here and tell you about… |

The stars alignedThe stars alignedI have to speed over pita, just for today. This is much better.Yesterday was what felt like the hottest day of the summer thus far, or at the very least, the stickiest. The humidity was so heavy you practically had to move it out of the way to walk through it, a curtain of muggy, damp, summer air.I mention this only… |

And today, you get:And today, you get:Cake. Who doesn’t like cake? This one has borderline unreasonable amounts of chocolate ganache, which if you're looking in my book, makes for a good dessert. And anyway, who likes reasonable cakes? Reasonable cakes, it seems to me, are a paradoxical thing, much like nourishing celery or salty sugar or milk… |

Challah and catching upChallah and catching upOh, dear. We have some catching up to do.First, and foremost: I am a college graduate. What? Yes. Sometimes I have to remind myself of this. This, and the fact that I have time, that in the grand scheme of things, as they say, I still have a lot of learning (and cooking, and baking) ahead of me. Plus, I read a… |

Birthday traditions, plus galettesBirthday traditions, plus galettesI am invariably predictable when it comes to birthdays. Of two things you can be absolutely certain. First, for those not my own, I tend to get extraordinarily excited. We’re talking stay-up-all-night baking projects, planning months in advance, and the like. It’s sick, really.Which brings me to the… |
