Peppermint Patty Brownies
Some recipes just scream “Christmas!” and one of those recipes is Maida Heatter’s Palm Beach Brownies with Chocolate-Covered Mints (aka: Peppermint Patty Brownies).

Fun with Toasted Almonds (Toasted Almond Gelato & Toasted Almond Raspberry Blondies)
Hi everyone, my name is Toasted Almonds. You might not think much of me–I know nuts aren’t the most beloved of foods, and toasting? It sounds like a waste of time, right?–but I’m here to convince you that I’m a worthy addition to your cooking repertoire. My brother, Plain Almonds, is a nice guy and…

I found the discussion around Where to Eat in Copenhagen useful, especially the way it gives readers practical details instead…
This Copenhagen roundup works because it reads like a real trip rather than a generic restaurant list. The details about…
