YOUR PANTRY HAS ALL YOU NEED TO MAKE THIS CINNAMON MASTERPIECE RIGHT THIS MINUTE. Andrew assures me that every baker worth his or her salt has all the ingredients to bake this Cinnamon Crumble Breakfast Cake on hand. “Like one big cinnamon roll”, as its…

Pull out the waffle iron tomorrow night and make Buttermilk Waffles! Come to think of it, I can’t think of a time when I don’t want to pull out the waffle iron…but sense and Andrew put the kibosh on that idea.  So waffles are a…

This Boston Baker knows her way around a Sugar Bun! Ask Bobby Flay! When we first published Joanne Chang’s Sticky Bun recipe, we heard from Bobby Flay himself.  Before there was ‘Beat Bobby Flay’ on the Food Network there was Bobby Flay’s “Throwdown”. Joanne had…

This Week, Bake this Versatile Almond Cake with Yotam Ottolenghi Andrew thinks that this cake would be an ideal breakfast cake, replacing coffee cake with its coconut, blueberries, and almonds.  All I can say is the cake is perfect, the berries juicy, the coconut and…

Breakfast for Dinner or Just Breakfast, you choose. This wonderful dish is a fantastic take on a Chorizo hash, in which the fresh sausage is paired with onions, garlic, and potatoes. There’s a hint of pickled onion, a tablespoon or so of cheese and the…

It’s been quite a while since the baker in our house appeared on Chewing The Fat.  Truth is, Andrew does almost all his baking in Bridgehampton.  That’s where the stand mixer is and all those other baking necessities. But to make these scones didn’t require…

“Ovenly” is a bakery that was started in, where else, Brooklyn.  It was the love child of two self-taught cooks, Agatha Kulaga and Erin Patinkin.  The pair are given to experimentation which has resulted in out-the-door lines of people waiting to buy items like their…

           Truth be told, it’s National Blueberry Month in Canada! My homeland loves to differentiate itself from its neighbor to the south.  In the US, National Blueberry Month is held in July.  Well, it’s colder up north and perhaps their crop doesn’t come into…

 There’s a twitter feed called “Drunk Ina Garten” written by someone as a parody.  And every time I post an Ina Garten piece, the guy who tweets it picks up on it in about five minutes flat, re-tweets it and I get tons of hits…

         Rhubarb season, like asparagus season, is eagerly awaited at our house.  Andrew cannot wait to get his hands on the slender red and green stalks and get into the kitchen to bake. The first rhubarb of the season is always preferable to what comes…
