All you really need is to have some fresh and heavy cream…you always have heavy cream in the fridge, don’t you? Continue reading

It’s almost Mother’s Day and Mom deserves a bit of exotic, don’t you think? This is a perfect breakfast-in-bed recipe and is really good fruit salad. I’m talking homemade, not the nonsense in the in the produce department of your local supermarket. But, once again, if the fruit isn’t ripe and juicy, then the fruit salad will fall flat…but maybe not too flat…there are tricks! Continue reading

Granola seems to be a flash back to the 60’s. It shouldn’t be. This is THE recipe for granola. Seriously. Superlatives aside. This is so good you won’t stop eating it until your jaws get tired. Then you’ll rest and go right back in for more! Truly, it is without a doubt, the best granola you will ever toss over your teeth!

Any proper tea will have lovely scones (rhymes with “cons”) which are similar to biscuits, but “shorter”. This is a reference to texture, not stature. When you hear the term “short”, it usually applies to non-yeast baked goods that have a high ratio of butter to flour. They tend to be very rich, crumbly, and tender, and they tend toward crispness rather than chewy. That describes these lovelies to a “tea”… 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

Corncakes are a thing of beauty and surpisingly complex. You get the fluffiness of the cake part, juxtaposed with the crunchiness of the corn and cornmeal; texture is king in these. You can add chopped clams, among other savory things, or simply add sautéed apples or applesauce and maple syrup for breakfast. I love flexible dishes and this is a great one. Continue reading
