Today, when I got the first real vine-ripened tomatoes, I knew EXACTLY what to make. Tomaquet is to Spain, in particular, to the Catalan, what bruschetta is to the Italians. Ask any Spaniard about tomato bread and they will get a faraway look in their eyes and wax on about tomaquet for, at the very least, 15 minutes. Continue reading

I was trying to think of some catchy title for this to tie into the 4th, and I had a slew of them, but none quite captured what I was trying to convey, so I decided that straight-forward was the way to go. Because this is a great summer BBQ addition and frankly, this is just damn good all year! Continue reading

I said it yesterday and I’ll say it again today…Potato bread is special. The basic dough makes a great loaf of simple and simply delicious white bread. Or form the dough into dinner rolls…you know, the warm, light fluffy kind. Think pillows of goodness to mop up gravy…Don’t you just love Sunday dinner? Continue reading

Potato bread is special. It’s wonderfully soft and chewy with a, wait for it, potato-y flavor! How surprising, huh? It makes great toast and is the perfect bread for BLT’s and ham sandwiches. Don’t even get me started on egg salad sandwiches, which will be perfect for your leftover Easter eggs. Increasing the sugar by a few tablespoons and adding some currants to the dough and you’ll have…hot cross buns! Continue reading

Bread is wonderful. It can be eaten as is, or toasted. It can be made into a sandwich, then grilled or broiled. It can be made stuffed or made into French toast. It can be made with plain old white flour, with whole grain flour or a mixture…bread can be dipped, dripped and coated with butter, gravy or cheese sauce. And a loaf “kneads” to be shared!

Making bread is biblical. It’s fulfilling, fun and delicious. It’s not nearly as intimidating as people think and if you have a bread machine, there’s truly nothing to it. But, it helps to understand the how’s and why’s to making a perfect loaf of bread. This is all you’ll “knead” to know! Continue reading

The Goddess, not being of Irish descent, had not yet acquired a taste for Irish soda bread. That is, she didn’t see the point of it, until she tried Anjelica Huston’s version. Apparently, the Huston family lived in Ireland, while Anjelica was a mere slip of a lass and she grew up eating this bread every day with breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is by far the best version I’ve had; it is absolutely delicious served warm, with good butter. Continue reading

One does not live by soup alone. Cornbread is a natural to serve with soups. This is a light, cakey-type of cornbread with a great flavor and a tender crumb. And it’s easy. It has many variations, but most of all…it’s delicious! Continue reading

These little bites of apple-pieness are warm, comforting, slightly gooey and entirely too easy not to make often. Apples, bits of crispy, cinnamon-y dough, with just the right amount of gooey-ness..seriously, what’s not to lust after? They have been in my life for decades, are a memory from my childhood and have become a tasty tradition for our sons. Bake away!
