pumpkin soufflé in a springform pan
Since the autumn, I've had three big pumpkins decorating the bench in my foyer. I grew them in my garden last summer from seeds that Jo LaRocca collected on one of her food and gardening adventure trips to Mexico. Today I decided to cut one open to make pumpkin soufflé. I was inspired partly by these …

This probably won't surprise anyone, but let me come out and say it. I don't agree with all the gluten free propaganda out there. If you have a condition, then yes, by all means avoid it, but if not, then I don't want to hear it! That said, my first reaction when targeting gluten free …
rosquillas de San Froilán

notes from the windowsill: cocoa nibs
Something very special ended up on my windowsill--a cocoa pod! Just in time for Valentine's Day. I decided to see what takes to get from pod to cocoa. After all, chocolate is king this time of year--though it usually comes in the shape of a heart! The most fun I had was probably as I …
