English Toffee
Every year before Passover I’m on the lookout for holiday worthy desserts that don’t require flour but still taste delicious. This year, on a recent caramel kick, I decided to make english toffee. It requires only six simple ingredients and couldn’t be easier to make. Sugar is melted in a pan, butter is added, and…

Buckwheat Baby with Salted Caramel
Most mornings for breakfast I make a buckwheat crepe and fill it with greek yogurt and berries. The protein-filled buckwheat flour and yogurt keeps me going until lunch, and the berries make it a perfectly well rounded breakfast. But routine can get boring, and while looking for other ways to use buckwheat, I came across…

Scones have an unfortunate reputation for being dry and crumbly. When asked to choose between scones, pancakes or french toast for brunch, most people would probably choose from the latter two.

Buttermilk Biscuits
Buttermilk biscuits are homely. They are lumpy and craggy and lean to the side-y. They are also very possibly my favorite thing to make. I know this recipe like the back of my hand. It takes me a record twenty minutes, from start to finish. Dry ingredients are mixed together, butter is cut in and…

Chocolate Rum Torte
A classic chocolate torte is something that everyone should have in their repertoire, especially if they entertain often. This one, made with rum, is rich and fudgey, a perfect dessert if there ever was one. I like to serve it with cold whipped cream and strawberries to keep it light, but if you’re all for…
