Chocolate Babka

On March 27, 2011 · 16 Comments

Whenever I hear the word Babka I inevitably think of the Seinfeld episode where Jerry and Elaine try to secure a chocolate babka. I remember watching that episode when it first aired, likely nearly 20 years ago (holy!), and not really knowing what a babka was to begin with. After watching [...]

Tartine’s Chocolate-Oatmeal-Walnut Cookies

On February 28, 2011 · 1 Comment


I’m forever on a quest to make cookies that look (and feel and taste) like cookies that you’d find in a bakeshop.  I want my cookies round, kind of chewy and pretty flat, is that too much to ask?  In years past my cookies were a bit of a disaster [...]

Pain au Chocolat Bread Pudding with Cranberries and Chocolate Sauce

On January 3, 2009 · 3 Comments

How decadent does that sound?

I had about half a bag of cranberries in my freezer and 18 oz of dark chocolatae in my pantry that I’d been looking to use at some point.  So as I often do, I logged onto Epicurious and did a search for cranberries and chocolate. [...]

Pumpkin Chocolate Bread

Last year, in an effort to keep my Aeroplan account active I ordered a subscription to Canadian Living (something about a partnership between Aeroplan and Rogers Magazines).  I figured I’d go for Canadian Living because they have recipes.  Maybe not the BEST recipes, but recipes all the same.  Every month I [...]
