christmas cinnamon buns
i was away for the holidays, celebrating in the boston area with my boyfriend and his family. during that time we were in the process of transferring the website onto a new server and working out the kinks inherent in any major shift. if you’ve experienced problems with the site, just hold in there, all [...]
brown sugar and black tea roll-out cookies
i don’t usually make roll-out cookies because, well, they as just so plain. but i’ve been seeing so many fun-shaped cookies around the blogs that i’ve been itching to make a batch myself when i was inspired by smitten kitchen‘s nutmeg maple butter cookies. so i raided my cupboards to find the dregs of a [...]
orangettes
the idea of candying an orange peel had always intimidated me. i thought it would take too long or that i would need a candy thermometer – which i for some reason have neglected to buy all these years. or at worst it would be a huge disaster involving burnt peels and hard candy stuck [...]
maple cookies with marmalade glaze
my kitchen activities have been adapting to the cold and windy days lately. i’ve been making weekly pots of stew, roasting nearly every veggie, sprinkling cinnamon and maple syrup in most dishes i make and preserving the glut of citrus i’ve happened upon in the form of marmalades and candied peels. it takes a bit [...]
pomegranate and dark chocolate chunk scones
scones have become my go-to baked good as of late. i like how they can be a hardy catch-all for whatever ingredients seem to be lying around, they aren’t overly sweet, they keep well and i’ve already got a killer recipe that can flex to my specifications. all you really need is a pastry cutter, [...]
pupcake: the cupcake for dogs!
we don’t know how old angie is exactly. when we adopted her some people thought she was a little under a year, some thought a little over, so we decided the day we took her home would serve as her birthday. this year on august 2nd we celebrated her 2nd birthday and 1st anniversary of [...]
strawberry and fig galette with tahini honey cream
i had never made a galette before, but spotted them all over the blogosphere. they are beautiful and elegant, but look even easier to make then a double-crusted pie or a tart because they consist of a single pie crust with filling loosely piled in and the edges simply folded over. so when i had [...]
whole wheat raspberry rhubarb scones
i started this recipe with an hour left before i had to walk out the door for improv practice. we had just gone berry picking that morning at underwood farms, so there was a pound plus of fresh raspberries staring me down, with a few ants still crawling on them and juice already leaking from [...]
dutch baby with berries and honey yogurt cream
i kept seeing recipes for dutch babies all over the internet, but it was the version on orangette that made me finally bite the bullet and try out this buttery, over-sized pancake – and boy am i glad i did. eggs make up for most of the batter, so it’s low in flour and has [...]
