Growing up in Florida, we were lucky to experience a diverse range of Latin Caribbean cuisines. If forced to pick a favorite, Cuban would be high (if not tops) on that list. Classic Spanish mingles with the tropics. This glorious combination creates something greater than the sum of its parts. […]

Bonfire Peach Blossoms The Bonfire peach and black mission fig trees have successfully made it through the winter. And, they appear to be thriving with new growth on every limb. The Kadota fig isn’t quite that lucky. It might appear down, but, it’s fighting for […]
Sicilian pizza may as well not even exist in Atlanta. With a very (VERY) limited number of exceptions, the version you tend to see around town is the lowest common denominator of a near approximation to “Sicilian” pizza. So, what’s a girl to do? She makes her own, […]

Christmas morning wouldn’t be complete without this gorgeous bread as a dining room table centerpiece. But, this lovely sweet bread is too good to make just once a year. Panettone 1/2 cup marsala or moscato 1 cup raisins 1/2 cup dried fruit (citron, apricots and/or candied […]
Two medium-sized hands of ginger make well over 2 cups of candied ginger. Next time, I’ll cut the ginger into smaller, more user-friendly pieces. These large pieces were pretty. But, the uneven sizes made for tricky packaging. Candied (or Crystallized) Ginger 2 hands of fresh ginger […] |
