Tuesdays with Dorie (Dorie’s Cookies): Melody Cookies
This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe from Dorie’s Cookies is so simple but it definitely has a bit of pizzazz (on the palate… mine definitely are not as pretty as the ones in the book!). Dorie says: Once upon a time, the Nabisco company made a cookie called Melody. They were large and round — […]
Summer Reads: Frankie’s Favorite Food
This is part of my Summer Reads series where I’ll be reviewing a series of “not just cookbooks”. With thanks to Tundra Books for the review copy. This week’s pick for my Summer Reads is a little bit different – a children’s book that landed on my desk while I was in Europe that I […]
French Fridays: Plum and almond cream tart
Hello and happy French Friday! I’m writing this from Dublin where we are spending a couple of days before we head home. It’s been a wonderful summer – much more relaxing (yes, even despite the 200km I walked on the Camino and keeping up my running training) than previous years, which was very welcome! Last […]
Tuesdays with Dorie (Baking Chez Moi): Tiramisu Tart

Typically I’d choose to “minify” a big dessert like this but I always like the opportunity to make a full-sized dessert to […]

Cook the Book Fridays: Fresh-off-the-cob corn chowder from Everyday Dorie
This week’s recipe for Cook the Book Fridays comes from Dorie Greenspan’s latest cookbook, Everyday Dorie. To be honest, it’s one I wasn’t particularly keen to make this month, given I knew I wouldn’t be able to find gorgeous corn like I do at home (I’m in France for a couple more weeks and corn […]
