Before I'd ever really heard of Dorie Greenspan, before I had seen the cookbook Around my French Table, or been introduced to French Fridays with Dorie, there was this cake. This amazing cranberry spice cake that I found in Bon Appetit magazine and it was Dorie's recipe. Look how gorgeous the official photo looks! Well, I've been baking … Continue reading Cranberry Spice Cake

CCC – chestnut & sage soup, twice-baked potatoes – the November recipes
At this time of year, things seem to get very busy. I've been working a lot, some of it on a new project out of the country, so between that and hosting Thanksgiving (weekend!), I have missed out on a few recipes. That said, I did get to a couple, and I'm happy I did. At first … Continue reading CCC – chestnut & sage soup, twice-baked potatoes – the November recipes
beatrix’s red kuri soup (an around my french table recipe)
TWD – Palats de Dames, Lille Style
This is my first post in the baking group Tuesdays with Dorie, now commencing baking through Dorie Greenspan's new book Baking Chez Moi. I had baked a couple of times with the group when they started baking through the book Baking with Julia. But it didn't really stick. I'd had the book for years, had never … Continue reading TWD – Palats de Dames, Lille Style
ffwd – (faux) jerusalem artichoke soup
The fact is, I haven't been able to find Jerusalem artichokes. I know I'm not alone, though others are so well-organized that they order them ahead. Not me. From the beginning of French Fridays with Dorie, for some reason, I always think that I should cook the recipe the same week that that it is … Continue reading ffwd – (faux) jerusalem artichoke soup
A French Thanksgiving – 2009
The summer of 2009 ended up being an intersection of sorts. I had read the book Julie and Julia and had been introduced to a world that, for me, had not even existed - an individual person blogging! And cooking through an entire cookbook as a project!! The following year, I started blogging myself when I … Continue reading A French Thanksgiving – 2009
CCC – October Recipes – Brussels, Beets and Beautiful Pumpkin
October is one of my favorite months - perhaps my actual favorite. Not just because it's my birthday month, but because I think it's the perfect month of the year to travel anywhere in the world, it's either spring or fall wherever you are, so it's usually beautiful and the weather is inviting. Plus the … Continue reading CCC – October Recipes – Brussels, Beets and Beautiful Pumpkin
ffwd – Happy Birthday Dorie! Palets de Dames
This week in our French Fridays with Dorie group, instead of making a recipe from Around My French Table, we were able to chose one of four recipes from Dorie Greenspan's new cookbook, Baking Che Moi. All of them looked wonderful, and I would like to make the other three when I have a bit … Continue reading ffwd – Happy Birthday Dorie! Palets de Dames
ffwd – celery-celery soup
This post marks the 4th anniversary of our group - French Fridays with Dorie. Over the past several years, we have been cooking, sharing, enjoying each others' company and becoming friends. I'm not one of the lucky Doristas who have met other members in person, though I hope that I will one of these days. … Continue reading ffwd – celery-celery soup
CCC – September recipes
September hasn't been my best blogging month. To be sure, not a bad month all around, but I have missed out on more than I've participated in. And that's not good. And maybe because I was so scattered, none of the recipes turned out as well as I expected. I know from experience, that "it's … Continue reading CCC – September recipes
