Chocolate Cranberry Fudge Cake

Chocolate Cranberry Fudge Cake by Robyn Savoie

This is so outrageously good it's sinful! The combination of decadent chocolate and tart cranberries is simply fabulous. You will find yourself serving this in small wedges because it's moist and dense like a fudge. Unlike a cake, which is moist, light and delicate.

“Bear Sign” (Or… a more polite name: “Nut & Berry Shortbread Bars”)

“Bear Sign” (Or… a more polite name: “Nut & Berry Shortbread Bars”) by Kevin Olomon

During the off-season, when salmon aren’t readily available up north, Alaskan bears eat mainly nuts and berries. So to track a bear in the woods, you simply look to the forest floor and watch for “bear sign”. Need I say more? Ha! These are SO easy…

Creole Pralines

Creole Pralines by Amos Miller

Better than a cookie (sorry bakers, but this is a Creole group) and with the true taste of New Orleans, Creole Pralines are one of the signature treats in the Big Easy! It is time to play 'soft ball', and we're not talking the sport - we're talking Creole candy. When the recipe calls for your concoction on the stove to reach the…

Uncle Amos' Molasses Cookies

Uncle Amos' Molasses Cookies by Amos Miller

This is an old stand-by, perfect for the holidays, for winter, for enjoying with a glass of milk, or hot coffee, tea or cocoa. The beautiful thing is that these cookies get better everyday - if you can stand to have them around without consuming them! This is a make-the-dough-one-day and bake-the-cookies-the-next project, so…

Calamansi Cloud Cake

Calamansi Cloud Cake by John Spottiswood

Calamansi is a citrus fruit commonly found in the Philippines. My sister and brother in law are headed there to visit relatives this month, so we're trying a few recipes. Calamansi can be found in California and Florida, but it is not common. You can substitute meyer lemon, lime, or even tangerine juice as a substitute.…

St. Patrick's Day Pistachio Bundt Cake

St. Patrick's Day Pistachio Bundt Cake by Nancy Miyasaki

I made this cake in advance of St. Patick's Day to test if it would be worthy of that occassion. I was a little bit skeptical given the packaged ingredients, but it turned out wonderfully. Our dinner guests and our kids both loved it! When sliced, the inside of the cake has a nice green tint to it which is not visible in the photos…

Blueberries with Lime Sugar & Citrus Confit

Blueberries with Lime Sugar & Citrus Confit by Amos Miller

This is one of my absolute favorite berry desserts and comes from Tony Bourdain and Les Halles Restaurant in NYC. I have had the audacity to make just one minor modification to the recipe, but I have no regrets, and neither will you. We grow blueberries all season long at Walnut Ridge Farm, so there are always opportunities to try…

Molasses Cake

Molasses Cake by Dominick Costa

I don’t know why, but I think of Molasses as a fall / winter ingredient. It’s not. But for me, I most commonly use it during the fall or winter. Here we have a Molasses Cake. I tried researching the origins, but came up short. I asked around, and supposedly, back in the day, some wise person who had no sugar for a cake decided to use…

Canned Apple Pie Filling/ Apple Crisp

Canned Apple Pie Filling/ Apple Crisp by J. Gino Genovesi

Apples are a very versatile fruit. Apples are used in many pastries, pies and salads. I think apples are used more in pies than in other way. . It save lots of time to have a "done" product for use. This canned recipe is both economical and good. Try this recipe and let me know if you like it.

Toll House Cookie Pie

Toll House Cookie Pie by A Culinary Journey with Chef Dennis

One of my favorite desserts, so simple to make, yet so rich is a Toll House Cookie Pie. It's even fun just saying it!! It can be made with or with out the nuts, but the nuts do tend to add to the body of the pie. Serve it still a little warm with fresh whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.....now that's down home…
