Where Did He Get The Recipe? (Oatmeal Butterscotch Cookies)
There are two things I like to do when I get back from a trip: (1) Eat a burrito; (2) Bake something. When Craig and I got back from D.C. last week, I led him along to the same destination I headed to when I returned from Paris last winter: Chipolte. Nothing hits the spot…

For anyone who watches “The Dog Whisperer” (and I’m a recent convert after reading Malcolm Gladwell’s article about him last week), you will know that dogs are pack animals.

Chicken with 40 Cloves of Garlic and Saveur Magazine’s Apple Cobbler
The day after the Oscars the questions were pretty standard: “What did you think of Jon Stewart?” “Were you disappointed Brokeback didn’t win?” “What did you think of Charlize’s dress?” Sadly, no one asked the one question I wanted to answer: “What did you have for dinner?” The dinner, you see, was the best part…

If Food = Love, This Cake = Hot Sex (Flourless Chocolate Cake for Valentine’s Day)
I’ve been reading a book on food and sex in anticipation of an interview I get to do with the author next week for another website [more on that soon!] and thusly food and sex have been on my mind. Specifically, how the pleasures we enjoy in the bedroom are not so different from the…

Free Book Churros
One of the perks of my job as The Amateur Gourmet is that people sometimes send me free stuff. When someone e-mails me and says that they want to send me something for me to write about on my site, I tell them my official policy. My official policy is this: “You can send me…

The Almond Cake That Will Save Your Soul
The ingredients are simple: butter, sour cream, baking soda, flour, sea salt, sugar, almond paste, 4 egg yolks, almond extract and confectioner’s sugar for dusting. But assembled as they are and baked as they were, this cake is sheer perfection. On pg. 70 of Hesser’s book (referenced also in the previous post), this cake was…

Vanilla Bean Loaves (via Amanda Hesser)
