The millennial bible for everything baking and cooking
As a part of Christina Tosi’s Milkbar class we were challenged to make our own original pie recipe. We had to create a flavor story and mine was as a child eating banana splits on a warm summer day. So I thought of a flavor combination that reminded me of that experience. I created a …
Cherry pie is a close second to apple pie in the race for classic American pies. This recipe, using frozen cherries, is fast and easy, especially using premade uncooked pie crusts. Full of flavor and ten times better than any filling from a can, you’ll be wondering why you haven’t always been making this from …
I feel like I really went for it for this final recipe and I’m so glad I did! I really wanted to do passionfruit and papaya and this combo turned out just delectable. That tart punch of passionfruit curd topped with a creamy papaya mousse that’s just sweet enough and finally just a bit of …
This Thanksgiving is different than most. COVID has made it difficult to gather together with family without the fear or possibility that we could be exposing our loved ones.

To me Thanksgiving is always about tradition. Every year we gravitate to the same kind of dishes, turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes. The dessert table always features the classics, apple pie, and pumpkin pie. Sadly between these strong front runners, the classic pecan pie can sometimes get lost in the pie mix. Not. This. Year. This …

Cheesecake! If you don’t like cheesecake I don’t know if we can be friends (just kidding). But, in all seriousness, I’ve said it before, I love cheesecake and this particular recipe is a twist on a family treasure.

Can you think of anything more stereotypically American ? Joking aside, this pie is the perfect dessert for the fourth of July …
