Multigrain Loaf

Filed Under All, breads, meatless | Leave a Comment

As you can probably tell from looking through my recipes, I’m a big fan of soup. And on a chilly night, nothing complements a steaming bowl of lovely soup more than a full-flavored, crunchy/chewy, densely crumbed hunk of multigrain bread. Rustic and healthy and hearty, a bread like this screams for a little butter (like [...]

Banana Flax Bread

Filed Under All, breads, dessert, meatless | Leave a Comment

When bananas get a little brown and soft, they may not be the most appetizing to eat out of hand, but they are very sweet and the banana flavor is very concentrated, so they work really well in banana bread. And if you have only a banana or two at a time that get that [...]

Cheese & Corn Focaccia

Filed Under breads, cheesy, meatless | 1 Comment

Yet again I fear I am risking the wrath of the purists who will say this is not truly focaccia, but it’s certainly in the spirit of focaccia, if not the precise letter of the Italian bread law. If you’ve never made yeast bread before, this is a good one to start with; it’s one [...]

Tomato Corn Spoonbread

Summer saddens a little as it fades to cooler autumn, but the end of summer is when the corn and tomatoes are at their prime. Plump and tart and juicy and warm from the sun, redness made round, tomatoes just scream summer. Corn, sweet and lovely in its field rows, repeats the pattern in its [...]

Oat Pecan Waffles

Filed Under All, breads, meatless, snacks | 3 Comments

I’ve always been a big fan of waffles, but I’ve never been able to come up with a recipe that made waffles exactly the way I like them, with the perfect combination of crispy, fluffy, & flavorful. I’ve tried whipping the egg whites separately and folding them into the batter; using buttermilk instead of, or [...]

Strawberry Corn Muffins

Filed Under All, breads, dessert, meatless, snacks | Leave a Comment

The farmers’ markets are really blooming and this past weekend, strawberries were the highlight of many of them. The market around the corner from my house was red red red with the gorgeous little berries, and fans were scooping them up by the peck. I brought some home myself, and along with eating them plain, [...]

Island Bread Pudding

Filed Under breads, dessert | Leave a Comment

Bread pudding is what happens when adults don’t have time to make French toast for breakfast. Breakfast for dessert! With booze! My favorite dark rum is Gosling’s Black Seal rum, from Bermuda, but any dark rum will work in this recipe. And what, you may ask, will you do with the remaining rum? Why, enjoy [...]

Equally good with coffee or tea, these crispy confections are surprisingly easy to make. (Just make sure you wet your hands when forming the loaves.) And the recipe makes plenty, so you can have your biscotti and give it away too! Orange Almond Biscotti 3 cups flour 2 cups sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 [...]

Indian Corn Cake

Filed Under All, breads, cheesy, snacks | Leave a Comment

Indian Corn Cake The origins of this ancient Indian staple food are lost in the misty horizons of history, but fortunately, I was recently able to channel a 5th-century Mesoamerican culinary expert, and woke up with this tasty little snack. Try it with barbecue. 1 cup corn meal 1-1/2 cup all purpose flour 4 teaspoons [...]

Peach Pumpernickel Panzanella

Filed Under All, breads, dessert, meatless, salads | Leave a Comment

This recipe features another star of the summer farmer’s market. Peaches ripe, sun-yellow, succulent, and perfectly balanced between sweet & tart overwhelm the senses with their bounty. From the fuzzy skin to the fortifying flesh, the fruit of the species Prunus persica just screams summer. Panzanella, on the other hand, pronounces summer slowly and deliberately, [...]
