These cookies make me happy. Even though they score a 7 on the Effort It Takes To Make scale (you know, the scale I just made up right now, where 1 means So Easy You Can Have Your Three Year Old Make This Dessert, and 10 means This Dessert Will Be Annoying So Brace Yourself […]

Guys, I’ve gotta tell you- the World’s Greatest Fudge Brownie just keeps getting better. Have you heard of Nocciolata? Me neither, until recently. Think of it as Nutella on organic crack. (Really- it’s a hazelnut chocolate spread that’s made from totally organic ingredients, so I don’t need to feel bad swirling them into my all-organic brownie […]

This dessert really is a culmination of All Things Amazing. I know I say that about almost all of the desserts I post, because I am pretty much smitten with All Things Desserts, but really. In italics. Take a look at the picture above. (Don’t pay attention to the sort of sub-standard photo quality, though- focus […]

Please tell me that you are aware of the exquisite pleasure known as baklava. (I bestowed the gift of Classic Baklava on you back in September [the 18th, to be exact, of 2013, to be more exact], so shame on you if you didn’t go straight to the grocery store and stock up on honey and […]

I have been making these for years and have been holding back on you. This post is my mea culpa. I’ve been busy (with 345 recipes posted prior to this one) and really have no excuse as to why I’ve slacked off on the spiral-sharing. (Maybe it’s the same reason I haven’t shared my peanut […]

I need more pistachios in my life. (I also feel like I need more cilantro and cumin, and adventure, but I’ll stick to the sweet stuff since I know that’s what you came here for.) I’ve already bored you to tears with my soliloquies about shortbread cookies. You know I love them, you know it’s […]

Yeah, we’ve all heard about the White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookie. (And we all love it, I know, especially when you add a hint of lime to the situation.) But what about the cashew? Ah, yes. The cashew. It’s totally compatible with white chocolate, and it has that richly satisfying texture that macadamia nuts have […]

I’m not going to lie to you. There’s a lot going on with this little pie. And that’s precisely what makes it so good. Roll your eyes all you want at the title of this dessert- I know, it would have been impossible to fit in any more ingredients into its name- but just you […]

Nutella. Nutella swirled into The World’s Greatest Fudge Brownie. (And a bit of Frangelico to amplify the hazelnut flavor.) Sold yet? I haven’t been to Eataly yet here in Chicago (Mario Batali’s food-filled haven)- shame on me, I know- so I have yet to see their glorious Nutella Bar… but The Husband went a couple […]

These are the kind of cookies you make when you don’t feel like exerting any effort at all. Like when you just feel like whirling a bunch of tasty stuff together in the food processor and then baking it for about 20 minutes and then hitting the couch hard. I admit that I used a […]

You know when they say “don’t mess with a good thing”? Well sometimes the “they” people are stupid. A macaroon cookie is a beautiful thing, and has the oomph to stand on its own. But it’s kind of like The World’s Greatest Fudge Brownie in that it can also act as a base for you […]

I am really very excited about this new concoction, and I think you will be too. A) They are totally easy to make (although they do require you to pull out the food processor, so sorry about that). B) They are natural and healthy and energy-packed (which admittedly means caloric, but in a good “have […]

I love making things that are good for you and don’t taste like it. Take this puppy, for example. It reeks of health, what with the oats and seeds and nuts and other things that your colon loves to love. But it also tastes like a treat- something you’ll truly have to ration. It’s the […]

Winner. Take a perfectly good shortbread cookie ball, and dip it in chocolate. You could stop there and die a happy dessert-eater. But no. Toast some nuts- pecans, walnuts, perhaps a medley of the two. Chop them up and sprinkle them on the chocolate before it sets, so the nutty-chocolate situation sets in a “we […]

Do you ever want a cake that’s not too sweet? Me neither. But some of you do, I know, and it’s my aim to please all tastes and preferences. So if I’m going to serve up a not too sweet cake, then you need to trust that I’m going to make it a good one. […]

This is rich. And dense. And chocolately. And hazelnutty. Think of it as Nutella for adults, in the form of a cake. (By the way- do you say it like nut-ella or noo-tella? I say nut-ella because I pronounce the word nut like nut. I’d never say “this cake has hazelnoots“. Please join me in the campaign to say […]

A while back I made Chewy Pecan Bars that rocked my world. The smell, the texture, and the taste- oh yes, the taste. I was left almost speechless (which is a hard thing to accomplish). But I knew there was a weensie opportunity to take the bars to the next level. And I had a bag […]

The Greeks knew what they were doing. In addition to a building a couple of buildings that some could call architecturally significant, they created the Greek salad (the real Greek salad, not the North Americanized version with lettuce that you get in a mall food court), and most important of all, they created baklava. (I assume it […]
