Spiced with nutmeg and bourbon this small cobbler has just enough of a sweet biscuit crust to add a pleasing texture. With a flavor that is sweet yet tangy, lusciously silky and very slightly complicated, Peach Cobbler for Two is a delicious way to end a summer meal. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a cool creamy contrast to this golden dessert.

Party Pineapple: Two Ways
Seasonal fresh fruit. It is already beautiful and delicious. All it needs is a pretty presentation and a touch of something special to make it party ready.
Meringue Torte
I love February. I like the way it sounds, beginning with a frisky fricative followed suddenly by the pairing of two unlikely mid-word consonants in a mismatch that invites us to think before speaking. I like the way it begins with that famous rodent checking the shadows for promises of […]
Cinnamon Toast Biscotti
What makes Cinnamon Toast Biscotti special is the topping added during the second bake. After cutting the loaves into thick slices and toasting one side, brush the biscotti with a bit of butter. Then sprinkle each cookie with cinnamon and sugar, like a slice of Cinnamon Toast.
A Christmas Dinner – 1945
My father-in-law celebrated his 90th birthday in October. The preparation for his party involved looking through a lot of his old memorabilia. That part was a special treat!

Easy Pecan Bars
The recipe for these Pecan Bars is easier than most. The crust does not need to be rolled out and no candy thermometer is required. Even better, the addition of lemon zest adds a refreshing note to the rich honey and brown sugar sweetened flavor of this holiday favorite.
Dressing the Perfect Soft-Boiled Egg
We set out on a quest for the Perfect Soft-Boiled Egg, one where the white is firmly set while the yolk is thick, soft and golden. While it may seem silly, as with many simple things, the details matter.
Spiced Chocolate Cream Cheese Spread
A little brown sugar, along with cinnamon, chili and chocolate, adds an appealing hint of heat to velvety cool cream cheese. Top with chocolate curls and cocoa powder then serve with ginger snaps or shortbread cookies for a pretty deconstructed cheesecake to share with friends.

Peach Cup-pies
The Littlest Peach Pie A few years ago I posted a recipe for A Little Peach Pie. Some might call it a Galette. Some might call it a Rustic or Folded Pie. It was simple, delicious and just the right size for a weeknight dinner or a casual treat. That […]
Fig Salad Dressed in Honey and Balsamic Vinegar
Serve figs that are just shy of perfect ripeness in a composed salad with spring greens and goat cheese. Drizzled with a honey and balsamic dressing, then topped with candied pecans, this salad is a beautiful way to enjoy the exquisite flavor of these exotic gems.
Sweet Cherry Salsa
Sweet Cherry Salsa draws on ginger, as well as peppers, to create a spicy warmth. Then it brings in notes of citrus and a splash of balsamic vinegar to lend depth to the sweet tang of ripe red cherries. To make the transition from a starter to a meal’s sweet conclusion, you might even add a few bites of dark chocolate.
