Baking classes in March and April

Given the state of the world and as part of my efforts to lessen my impact on the spread of this virus, I'm suspending my cooking and baking classes until further notice. Photo by Scott Umstattd on Unsplash Of course, this is not a fun decision to make but in the big scheme of things, this is minor. In the meantime, please keep yourself and your loved ones safe and healthy. Get information about the pandemic from trusted and trustworthy sources like the CDC and your local state and city government. Thank you and I hope to see you on the other side of this. My favorite thing in life is to feed the people I love with food I made. There's something very primal about it and it touches a part of me nothing else comes close to touching. I think my second favorite thing in life is to teach other people how to do cook for and feed the people they love. Cooking at home fosters togetherness, it makes for better diets and nutrition, and it's a direct and definitive ...

Channel your inner Mrs. Patmore with The Official Downton Abbey Cookbook

My copy of The Official Downton Abbey Cookbook arrived last week and it's as beautiful a cookbook as I'd hoped it would be. Many thanks to the generosity of the folks at Weldon Owen's Insight Editions. While the book was published originally in 2019, it's been reissued and will be available as a limited edition gift set on Tuesday, April 5 2022. The gift set comes in a box and includes a gold-embroidered Downton Abbey apron. So now you can really channel your inner Mrs. Patmore or Daisy. The book includes over 100 recipes and is broken into two sections: the first showcases period recipes that would have been served upstairs and the second features recipes that the staff would have eaten downstairs. It's a clever arrangement. As fascinated as I am by things like Vol-au-Vent; Toad in a Hole and Sausage Rolls are more my speed. English food gets a bad rap for reasons I'll never quite understand. English cuisine features comfort foods and baked delights that sham...

Geranium sorbet (believe it!) from Alsace

Photo by Patrick Robert Doyle on Unsplash The pandemic lock down and the arrival of warmer weather have me longing to travel but there will be no travel in my near future, that's for sure. So instead, I look through photos of places I've been and remember. Two summers ago, Frank and I stumbled upon the Alsace region of France as we were working our way up the Rhine Valley. The Rhine marks the border between Germany and France and the history that played out there is the sort of thing that makes my heart go pitter patter. Strasbourg, or Straßburg in German, is the capital of the Alsace and its historic center sit on an island in the intricate series of canals and tributaries that feed off the Rhine River. Strasbourg is a rare gem in that its central core was never bombed in the many wars that have rocked the hotly contest Rhine Valley over the centuries. Its timber-framed, medieval architecture is authentic and you really can eat in a restaurant that dates ...
