Adventures in cooking and baking.
This Vietnamese coffee cake incorporates the flavor of Vietnamese coffee into an amazing chocolate and coffee dessert.
This cake is not a cake from Vietnam that's served with coffee. Instead, it's a cake topped with an amazing sauce inspired by Vietnamese coffee.
Guava and Cream Cheese Pastelitos are simple to make tasty treats that you can have ready for breakfast, brunch, snack, or dessert in just over a half an hour.
Also known as Pastelitos de guayaba y queso, they are a popular treat from the Caribbean, especially Cuba. They are made with a filling of melted cream cheese and guava paste and are super convenient and amazingly delicious.
These buttermilk crumb muffins, spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg, remind me of old school coffee cake.
The flavor of these buttermilk crumb muffins is similar to cinnamon crumb cake doughnuts, or even Snickerdoodles.
I've always wanted to try making pretzel buns. They look so gorgeous with their dark outer crust contrasted against the white interior.
The interior of these pretzel buns, (the buns are also known as laugenbrötchen), is soft and dense, and the crust is thin and crispy, just like a soft pretzel.
This Concorde Cake (Gâteau Concorde) is a fun and delicious cake to make. Plus, it's so rich and chocolatey.
Making this chocolate meringue and mousse cake is a bit of a project, but it's definitely worth it, and most of the time is hands off. It's actually pretty easy to make.
This mixed grains and seeds ciabatta, with a sourdough poolish is a hearty take on the airy Italian "slipper bread."
The goal in making this bread is to add a lot of hearty whole grains and seeds and still capture some of the airy ciabatta-like texture in these loaves.
Kushari (also spelled koshary, koshari, or kushary) is one of the most popular street foods in Egypt. In fact, I've seen it referred to as the national dish of Egypt.
Kushari is typically made with layers of rice, two kinds of pasta, lentils, spicy tomato sauce, chickpeas, and topped with crispy onions.
