Chocolate Gingerbread Cake
It’s pretty comical to come to Bellingham, Washington for Christmas. Comical because, for this Boca Ratonian Jew, it’s like stepping out of a noisy deli into a Christmas card.

Pfeffernussen, Orange Sables & The Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie of Your Dreams
The Baking Bug isn’t a ladybug, it’s a wasp: once it stings you, you’ve been stung. Such has been the case with my friend Josh Hume, director of my show on Food2 and a recent convert to the world of baking. He loves it. He calls himself Man Martha because of his love for Martha…

(If you have no idea what I’m talking…

Chocolate Covered Matzos
Passover is over, but I’d like to belatedly submit my review of the Dark Chocolate Egg Matzos I bought at Citarella a few weeks ago. Here’s my review: I didn’t really like it. Sometimes the combination of dry, crackly, salty bread-like substance (pretzels, for example) with creamy, bitter, unctuous chocolate is a winner, but not…

A Cookie Trick
As much as I miss Diana for her winning personality, I mostly miss her for her cookie sheets. It was with her cookie sheets that we first made the greatest cookies of our lives–you can read the recipe here. Meg of Megnut rejected these cookies when she tried them and called them “too thin,” but…

Please do not do that to me. I am happy to eat both at the same time from separate plates,…
