• Almond and Raspberry Linzer Cookies

  

  i love love. i love the warmth of it, the way it wraps you in its sun; how it could be raining, it could be snowing, but that sun will keep you warm, and radiating with enough heat to warm everyone near you. i love the feel of it: thrilling, electric, a shock current, and…

• Sweet Corn Ice Cream with Blueberry, Raspberry, Bay Leaf Swirl

  Things pop out at me, now. The way the air is beginning to cool earlier. The late summer prune plums at the market, heralding the almost onset of fall. The apples, at the market too. I want to tell the farmer it is too early for them, but who am I to argue with nature?…

• Classic Jelly Doughnuts

  Happy, happy Chanukah! I hope you’re all eating so many latkes. And doughnuts. I’ve already had 4, and it’s mostly thanks to these.
