Moroccan Saffron and White Wine Tzimmes Chicken
In all honesty, the idea of tzimmes has never much appealed to me. I say idea and not dish because I am pretty sure I have never actually tasted it- the concept of cooked dry fruit, accompanied by honey and cinnamon and mushy, stewed carrots, has always seemed overly saccharine to me and I’ve thus…

Cornmeal Shortcakes with Roasted Apricots & Whipped Ricotta
This recipe comes with a story. It’s slightly embarrassing. The usual. You know. I started by roasting the apricots. They were overripe, losing their resistance at the seams.

Roasted Blackberry Apricot Ice Cream
The blackberries were on sale. Big boxes of them, full of ripe fruit- a sure sign of the advent of summer. They were calling to us, singing a song of green fields and sun, and their dark, midnight sheen was bewitching. We bought two cartons. “I bet we finish one box on the way home,”…

Stone Fruit Galette
The best thing about late summer, besides for the slowly cooling nights and star-filled skies, is the stone fruit. The apricots, the peaches, the plums. They become softer, and more full of nectar, and sweetness. These fruits work well in almost any scenario, but in the urgent rush to consume them before they’re gone, I…

“Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast!” – White Queen, Alice in Wonderland. Six impossibly awesome things. ∞ Desperately missing Florida’s ubiquitous palm trees ∞ ∞ Apricot clafoutis with leftover apricots that’s quickly become my new favorite dessert ∞ ∞ Footprints in the sand from my last beach visit ∞ ∞ Crazy good cobbler…
