Summer days are becoming hotter and hotter, no matter where you are these days. Even this self-proclaimed pie lover finds the desire to not turn on the oven amongst these sweltering days, greater than the desire to bake a pie. It’s why I’ve been baking more easier, and quicker, galettes with puff pastry, stonefruit pandowdy…
A Berry Sour Cream Custard Pie with Phyllo Crust
Pie is most certainly my favorite thing to make. Often on afternoon making pie dough, getting my fingers into the cold butter and flour, it’s like a beautiful mental trip or therapy session. It soothes the soul. Can I say that’s really the secret to any yummy flaky pie dough. And when it comes to…
Vanilla Bean Milk Panna Cotta
When quarantine first began, way back in the middle of March, the one thing I was actually looking forward to was the time to bake and cook freely for myself. Yes, I cook everyday but with my event work and holiday baking, finding the time to cook more elaborate dishes or bake sweets that I…

Mango Curd Ice Cream
And just like that, another summer month is coming to its end. July where did you go so quickly? I didn’t get to enjoy and make nearly enough ice cream to commemorate National Ice Cream Month. This food holiday isn’t just a fad either, it’s been around since 1984 when President Ronald Reagan declared July as…
Mango Coconut Cream Pie
Sweet sweet summertime. You are warm and fresh, colorful and ripe with so many juicy seasonal flavors. And I’m going to apologize to all of you right now because I’ve been working on putting together several summer recipes to share on the blog the next few weeks, but the only thing is that a good chunk…
