Seriously Simple: Chocolate-dipped strawberries are fun to make and especially kid-friendly
The other day I invited my 2-year-old grandson to come over so we could make a dessert. Oliver is a typical toddler who is a very picky eater, but when it comes to combining strawberries and chocolate together, he couldn’t wait.
Strawberries are at their prime now, so I thought it would be fun to make chocolate-covered strawberries. I worked ...Read more
Miso adds great flavor to spring vegetables
Seeing the local, bright-green fresh asparagus at the market makes my heart beat faster (and healthier). Pencil-slim or thick and sturdy, it’s all good.

When it comes to fixing a fast dinner, I go with trout fillets. A rich, fatty fish, trout is as flavorful as salmon but the thinner fillets cook off in a jiff.
Most often sold skin-on, the fish has a high skin-to-flesh ratio. Even if you don’t care for the skin, cooking with it on intensifies the flavor and helps keep the fillet tasty and ...Read more
Recipe: With the high price of eggs, this yellow birthday cake recipe goes egg-free
As a professional recipe developer focused on baking, I am more aware of the cost of eggs than most folks. Try making a custard tart that calls for eight egg yolks, then testing it three more times. That’s two dozen eggs for one recipe. Ouch.
Many common bakes and desserts don’t need eggs: shortbread cookies, most bread, almost any fruit ...Read more
It's not the cooking that gets you, it's the cleaning
I have never been one to ask if it was worth it. To me, the joy of cooking, serving and eating good food is worth any amount of trouble and effort to make it.
But last week, I decided to make a batch of mole poblano.
I had been looking forward to it for weeks. My wife, who is not as fond of spicy foods as I, was visiting a friend in Florida, ...Read more

Creamy cheese, whole grains make flapjacks both ultrasatisfying and more complex
We wanted pancakes that were just as flavorful and complex as they were filling.

Whipping the batter together in the blender gave the cakes more loft and...Read more
