The kitchen is a laboratory. This is my lab notebook.
Convection for Cookies
Is the panacea for evenly-cooked cookies, or an unnecessary gimmick?
Revisiting English Muffins
English muffins are typically a somewhat mundane breakfast food. Could a homemade version elevate them?
Sugar Cookie Bars
Sugar cookies have a simple taste with a broad appeal, but can become dry. Can the classic taste be converted to a moister cookie bar while maintaining some of the distinctive characteristics of the original?
Chocolate Mint Brownies
What’s not to love about the combination of chocolate and mint? In this dessert, a fudgy, dense chocolate brownie is combined with a refreshing mint frosting and a rich chocolate ganache.
Chocolate Chocolate Chip Bagels
What bagel would a kid (or adult) enjoy more than a chocolate chip bagel? How about a chocolate chocolate chip bagel?
Falling Flat: Sourdough Bagels
I have been using what seemed to be the perfect bagel recipe for years. Would converting it to sourdough take it to the next level...or ruin it?
Half-Moon Cookies
Half-moon cookies were a childhood favorite: oversized soft chocolate cookie topped with both vanilla and chocolate frosting. I had been unable to find them for decades and had no idea how to recreate them at home. Until now.
