Put the tart before the course. I highly recommend it. That way dessert is ready to go even before the dishes are done and not to mention tart components always need time to meld together, flavours serenading each other in the dark mystery that lies behind closed refrigerator doors. Recently I spent a morning of…

Standing (Ovation) Rib Roast
The chap’s recent dinner party coupled with the insane stretch of time on my hands in between gigs has me inspired to do about not much else other than cook and bake. The original plan was to get super in shape with my three weeks off or convince my friends or chap that taking a…
Cake Cake Cake Cake
It’s official. The cake of Rihanna’s classy ass song about baked goods and birthday parties was this one that I recently made for mum’s 59th. Mum loves all things chocolate and coconut, so I thought Mounds Bar cake certainly would be the way to go. I debated adding almond components to upgrade to Almond Joy…
Carrot Patch
Easter is coming!!!!!! Which means I’d like to talk to you about…carrots. I’m not big into carrots. The veg, roasted are way too sweet, in hummus are boring, and I don’t think cakes and cookies should contain vegetables. I’d leave carrots to the bunnies until I found this recipe!

Sleepy Saturday
I stole today away from everything – social engagements, the beau, the family, and really enoyed some solitude the way that I used to in Miami. After sleeping in, cleaning out all of my closets and drawers, I opted to Iron Chef myself and see what I could create. Dinner was a phyllo dough pizza,…

An Evening's Entertainment
Last week, my bestest of friends asked me if I’d like an impromtu visit? I really don’t know why she even felt the need to ask. I told her to let me know when to pick her up from the airport, didn’t wait for an answer, proceeded to call her on repeat the way you…
